There are many paths in life to take, whether it’s the boys you date or the college you choose—and everyone seems to have an opinion on what’s best for June Chu, but she has yet to decide what she thinks is best for herself. Boys I Know is Judy Blume’s Forever for the modern age, carrying with it the expectations of family, academics, and relationships. June’s journey through senior year is all too relatable in all of its messy, soul-searching glory.
