About this listen

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.

Critic Reviews

"Jennifer Hartmann penned an exceptionally unique story with every emotion digging its claws into your heart. June First is an unforgettable masterpiece!" (Jewel E. Ann, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author)

"A touching coming of age story that oh-so-slowly kindles, and when it ignites, hold on tight because oh baby, this forbidden love burns. The angst and steam alone will overfill your taboo-loving heart. Such a beautiful, unforgettable book." (Pam Godwin, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author)

It was alright

I felt it was a bit slow as the story development started before the h was born. Then chapters moved in stages from her infancy, toddler, preschool, school age and so on and so forth. It was too much development that it became a bit boring but overall a great story.

The narrators are good too. Love the man’s voice, the lady narrator was fine but i find her voice very dramatic or poetic or both
