June has little intention of getting close to anyone after her family moves to Minneapolis; her father's job doesn't allow her to stay in one place long. Yet there's something about Wes that, though June barely knows him, keeps him stuck in her head. Alternating perspectives, Hautman's narrative sizzles; there's nothing explicit, but the characters' chemistry practically burns holes through the page.
