June First

Jennifer Hartmann — 2022

Want to know what happens to a man who barely claws his way out of a tragedy, only to fall right into the arms of the one girl in the world he can never have? Another tragedy, that's what. When I was six years old, my father made a choice that altered the course of my entire life. Because of what he did, the only girl I ever loved became the only girl I couldn’t have. In a lot of ways, I did have her… I had her first steps, her first words, her first smile. I had her milestones, her heartbreaks, her dreams. I had her heart so woven in with mine, I didn’t know where she ended, and I began. Only, as the years pressed on, lines became blurred—and the blurrier the line, the easier it is to cross. They say tragedy comes in threes. For me, that was true. The first one changed me, the second one broke me, and the third one healed me. But at the center of all that tragedy… there is a love story. And at the center of that love story, There is June.

You know how sometimes we really simply just get lost between the pages of a book !? Well this is definitely one of those reads and a part of me doesn’t want to review it because then it means I must share my people and another part of me wants to review so I can share my people and their beautiful story …… Brant came from what seemed a normal loving home till one day his dad totally lost the plot and Brent was left an orphan but his momma must have known something was going to happen because she had plans in order so he wouldn’t go into the system , he would be surrounded by love ..,,, Brent and Theo were brothers from another mother and then little Junebug came into the equation and this little girl was showered Iove like many will never know …. So many tears were she’s reading this and when I say tears I actually mean like waterfalls it was so beautiful yet so very sad at the same time . I lost my heart to this trio but 2 in particular and this is one I’ll read again and again ❣️📕 thank you for becoming part of my life Junebug , Brent , family and friends , I love you guys
