Lina & June: A Novel by Genevieve Wheeler (Preorder)

Release date: December 8th, 2026

From the author of Adelaide comes a bittersweet, deeply felt story that follows the start and unraveling of a seemingly unbreakable bond between two young women.

Lina and June’s friendship shouldn’t make sense. June has her future planned to a T; Lina takes life day by day, party by party. June’s dreams are color-coded and neatly filed, while Lina's are even too big for New York City, where she and June are students at the same university. But after a messy night out throws the two girls together, it seems like nothing can tear them apart.

Until June’s health takes an unexpected turn for the worse.

Until Lina jets off to Paris, leaving her best friend behind.

As Lina and June’s once-intertwined lives veer off on separate paths, they’re on their own to figure out how to fix their severed bond—and decide if it’s even worth repairing—or risk running out of time completely.

Are some heartbreaks too big to patch?
