      June has worked hard for her family, but she is starting to feel like the dull accountant trope. She is safe and comfortable and bored. June wants more. And on the eve of the new year, when the radio DJ encourages listeners to make the most of it, June feels like he’s talking to her, and she decides to make a vision board — magazine cutouts, silver glitter and all. 

      Maybe 2022 is the year that June Cupido reinvents herself.

      A compelling exploration of resilience, self-discovery, and the human spirit

      In her poignant novel, “What’s Wrong With June?” Qarnita Loxton masterfully weaves a tapestry of emotions, identity, and resilience. Set against the backdrop of a post-pandemic world that feels so far away but also so recent, this book delves into the complexities of mental health, family dynamics, and the impact of social media.

      June, the protagonist, is a character who resonates deeply. Her struggles with anxiety and feeling trapped mirror our collective experiences as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Loxton’s writing brings June to life, making her relatable and authentic. I was invested in her journey, rooting for her all the way.

      The novel also explores the dynamics of a large, caring, and occasionally interfering family. June’s interactions with her relatives add depth to the narrative. We see love, conflict, and the messy beauty of familial bonds. It’s a reminder that family shapes our identity, even when we’re far from home.

      Loxton’s vivid descriptions evoke the lush landscapes, the scent of frangipani, and the warmth of the Indian Ocean. I have a dear friend who moved to Mauritius, and I was thinking of her non-stop while reading this book.

      “What’s Wrong With June?” is a compelling exploration of resilience, self-discovery, and the human spirit. Loxton’s prose invited me to reflect on my own life, to find appreciation in ordinary moments, but also to do more with the opportunity we do have. As I turned the pages, I felt a kinship with June, and I suspect you will too. She lives and learns, makes mistakes, and grows!

      First off, I want to say that this title is so fitting! I asked myself what’s wrong with June more times than I can count while reading this book.

      June is a Capetonian in her 40’s who just isn’t very happy with the life she’s living. She realised that her life revolves around everyone but her. She’s tired of trying to please everyone else and just needs time to figure out who she is.

      June makes a vision board and realises that she’s missed out on so many things (she can’t even swim). She’s saved all this money but never actually spent it on something for herself. Realising that her life isn’t what she’d hoped, she hops on a plane to Mauritius.

      While June is in Mauritius she learns so many new things about herself. She also starts trying new things. She gets to try dim sum and even takes swimming lessons! But are the small changes enough to make her happy?

      This book made me feel all sorts of things. I realised that maybe I shouldn’t sit back and skip out on certain opportunities. Maybe I should go out with those friends, or go for that hike.

      I highly, highly recommend this book! You won’t be sorry that you picked it up!
