Sixteen-year-old June Laurie unexpectedly lands a role in a hit Hollywood crime drama. Thrust into the world of fame and public scrutiny, she struggles to navigate her new life while staying true to herself. As she deals with personal insecurities and the pressures of the entertainment industry, she finds support in her best friend, Joseph, and starts questioning what truly matters in life. Finding June is a coming-of-age story about self-discovery, faith, and staying grounded amid chaos.

Shannen Crane Camp delivers an engaging and lighthearted novel with a relatable protagonist and a charming, wholesome narrative. The writing is simple and fluid, making it accessible to young adult readers. The themes of self-confidence, faith, and personal integrity are woven naturally into the storyline. The romantic subplot remains clean, focusing more on emotional growth rather than physical attraction. The novel avoids clichés typical of Hollywood-centered stories and instead emphasizes strong friendships and moral choices.
