Boys I Know is the story of growing up, of getting to know your worth outside of what your family demands and of standing up for yourself.
June Chu can never win. She is the younger sister, the less talented one and she hears about it, all the time. Her sister is a very talented violinist and got a scholarship for college because of it. June is pressured to practice 3 hours every day and basically follow the same path. And all of this pressure is starting to break her.
She has kind of a boyfriend. She and her bio partner make out a lot, but he doesn't want to commit. Then she moves on. But the people she hangs out with are not the best for her.
June is not an easy character to like, especially in the beginning. She makes a lot of mistakes, a lot of stupid choices, but that is part of growing up. And the more she grows, the more likeable she becomes.
