Synopsis: June Randolph and her father make the perfect team at their small, family-owned jewelry store. While the pair have always maintained a close relationship, the dynamic she shares with her mother has proven much more challenging throughout the years. Now at seventeen years old, June has found herself contemplating life beyond working at her father’s shop. Though it isn’t until she is befriended by a ritzy, older customer that June begins to come out of her shell. The woman’s kindness and infectious energy are a welcome addition to her young life the summer before her senior year of high school. However, secrets from her mother’s past begin to threaten June’s newfound happiness - calling into question all that she has ever known. Confronted with the often-perverse intentions of the human heart, the teen must uncover the truth which has been concealed by years of deceit.
Review: So, because I do not fully blurb, I did not think that this book would be a bit of a mystery. The book starts out with this girl who has worked at her father's shop and meets a woman who the main character thinks might be able to help her relationship with her mother, which is very strained. And then the plot twist took place, which I didn't see coming at all. I really liked the character development of this book and the world building. I felt like the book definitely hooked you as a reader and it kept you intrigued in the story until the very end.
the only part of the book that was a little iffy for me was that the plot was a bit slow in my opinion in certain spots but that was really the only complaint that I had.
Verdict: It was good!
