While there is a brief bit of a romance happening, the true love story is between these sisters. They were close in the past, but their estrangement has been going on for years with Jayne feeling inferior to her older sister and hoping June will one day actually like her. My review: Relationships between sisters can be complicated and Jayne and June are no exception. And Jayne becomes the only one who can help her.įlung together by circumstance, housing woes, and family secrets, will the sisters learn more about each other than they’re willing to confront? And what if while helping June, Jayne has to confront the fact that maybe she’s sick, too? Once thick as thieves, these sisters who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York together now don’t want anything to do with each other.

Jayne is an emotionally stunted, self-obsessed basket case who lives in squalor, has egregious taste in men, and needs to get to class and stop wasting Mom and Dad’s money (if you ask June). June’s three years older, a classic first-born, know-it-all narc with a problematic finance job and an equally soulless apartment (according to Jayne). If this is a month that you borrowed the book from the library or a friend, we ask that you remember us as you purchase gifts.Summary:
