Until June

In a strange twist of events, 18-year-old Josephine finds herself the unexpected caregiver to Geoff Chambers, a WWI veteran who lost part of both legs in the war.  Geoff is initially despondent and dependent on morphine, but with Josephine's care and persistence, he finds himself enjoying life again.  Set in a remote lodge in Alaska, Josephine and Geoff learn to both depend on each other and find their individual strength in themselves.

I enjoyed the setting and idea of this story; I haven't read many stories set in Alaska, nor have I read much about injured war veterans.  I enjoyed watching Josephine persevere through Geoff's stubbornness and defeatist attitude.  However, there were a lot of characters to not like in this book, and for me, it didn't really balance out.  Also, I wished for more of the scenery to really experience the setting of Alaska to set the book apart.

I give this book 3 stars.  It was an engaging read, and I think it will appeal to many readers, it just wasn't one of my favorites this summer.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publishers, via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.
