June Rain
By Brandon Knightley
Review by Irene Grove
This book
tells the story of a high school boy falling in love. The author does a great
job letting you into the mind of the main character. Dante, the teenage boy and
main character, feels things deeply but quietly. He notices a girl in class and
is drawn to her. I love how the story centers on the young mans viewpoint and
yet you get to know the other characters as well. Even as an adult reading this
story you can relate to the emotions the characters feel. The girl Dante is
attracted to is Helen. She comes alive in the pages with her well written
responses to Dante’s advances. Her family life is an intricate part of the
story and helps you understand her character even better. She has an adorable
younger sister, Maristella, whose interaction with Dante is priceless.
The story itself starts with Dante waking up and
very excited about the day ahead. The rest of the book is all about the event
that takes up his day. The author does not split the scenes with actual
chapters but you are never lost as you read. When you are not on the journey
with Dante you are reading about how this day came to be. The book does a great
job at describing the building relationship between Dante and Helen and finishes
with a satisfying ending. You want the story to go on so you can see how these
two are living now.
There is no real spiritual value to the book.
God is mentioned but not explained or accepted. This book will remind you that
everyone has his own story to tell.
