At the end of her first semester of junior year June is expelled for drinking at a school dance. Her parents send her to Virginia to attend the all-girls boarding school where her grandmother teaches. Miles away from home, her life, and most importantly her best friend, Jess, June counts down the days until she can come back home for the summer. When she meets Sam, a boy she is drawn to, life in Virginia starts to feel more real. Her relationships with her friends, grandmother, and Sam get stronger as she learns more about them and herself through her photography assignments. As Jess pulls away, June begins to question her relationships. -- adapted from back cover and Goodreads info
