Summary (from Goodreads):

If she’d waited less than two weeks, she’d be June who died in June. But I guess my sister didn’t consider that.

When Harper Scott’s older sister, June, takes her own life a week before her high school graduation, sixteen-year-old Harper is devastated. Everyone’s sorry, but no one can explain why.

When her divorcing parents decide to split up her sister’s ashes, Harper takes matters into her own hands. She'll steal the urn and drive cross-country with her best friend, Laney, to the one place June always dreamed of going—California.

Enter Jake Tolan. He's a boy with a bad attitude, a classic-rock obsession…and an unknown connection to June. So when he insists on joining them, Harper's just desperate enough to let him. With his alternately charming and infuriating demeanor and his belief that music can see you through anything, he might be exactly what she needs. Except...Jake's keeping a secret that has the power to turn Harper's life upside down—again.

Sometimes, I really wish I did have a NetGalley account... because if I did, I would have instantly requested to read Saving June as soon as I could! When I learned the release date had been pushed back to the end of November, earlier in the summer, I was actually read sad because I'd been so excited to read the novel! I'm always on the lookout for contemporary YA novels that include road trips and a heartfelt story because I've had some good times with them... and it looks like Saving June will be no exception. I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on this one!
