Lina and June

The second novel from Genevieve Wheeler, author of Goodreads Best Debut Novel award nominee Adelaide.

Lina and June’s friendship shouldn’t make sense. June has her future planned to a T; Lina takes life day by day, party by party. June’s dreams are colour-coded and neatly filed, while Lina's are even too big for New York City, where she and June are university students. But after a messy night out throws the two girls together, it seems like nothing can tear them apart.

Until June’s health takes an unexpected turn for the worse.

Until Lina jets off to Paris, leaving her best friend behind.

As Lina and June’s once-intertwined lives veer off on separate paths, they’re on their own to figure out how to fix their severed bond.

Soulmates are meant to be forever. But when yours is your best friend, is the heartbreak of losing them too big to patch?

If you’ve ever lost a friend, if you’ve ever missed a friend, or if you’ve ever been a friend – you were meant to find this book.

For fans of upmarket women’s fiction with razor-sharp observations about girlhood and relationships like Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors, Expectation by Anna Hope and So Thrilled For You by Holly Bourne.
