I really, really disliked this book. It was free to me as an amazon prime member, so I'm glad I didn't waste money buying this.

Why did Lennox and June dislike each other so much in the beginning? Lennox saves June's life and from that point they practically hate each other. Although I am loathe to admit it...the banter between them was pretty funny. That's all I liked from their romance, though. These two don't have a chance in hell of staying together. Sidebar- is this book supposed to be YA? It didn't read like one, tbh. 

Something that really bothered me was the best friend/potential love interest, Matt. He started off as a great dude! I felt like the author needed to make him wholly unlikeable so the readers would see Lennox as the superior love match for June. Matt's possessive behavior developed out of nowhere- I did not appreciate that "plot twist." And weirdly enough, June stays friends with Matt without any kind of conversation about how horrible he acted? Hard pass! 

If you couldn't tell by now, I would not recommend this book. The last 30% of June, Reimagined is filled with miscommunication for the dumbest reasons. It was an endlessly frustrating reading experience and I'm very glad to be done with this book!
