I like most of the characters in the novel "The Secret Life Of Bees" accept June Boughtwright is sort of strange. She is incredibly negative all the time and doesnt seem like a happy person. She should be setting a good example and have a good mood for her sister May. Mays twin sister passed away which made May completly different, like something in her died as well.
June also has a boyfriend who keeps asking to marry her and she keeps saying no when shes been with him forever and she clearly loves him. She gets into a fight right in front of May, and she looked rigvht at her and continued her argument. It sent her sister into a fit. I thought that was completly inconsiderate because she knew that May was listening and that when May hears or sees people upset she gets sad. I think that by her seeing this sparked Mays thought of suicide.
When Lily and Rosaleen come to stay with the boughtwright sisters June is very unwelcoming. Augest and May are happy to have extra company with the two, however June seems distant. It bugged me when Augest, May, Rosaleen and Lily were outside having a good time and They told June to come out to, but she just stayed on the Porch with a sour look on her face.
I understand if she is hurt to from the death of her sister April but the rest of the bunch are trying to continue in a good life, she however doesnt try at all. Its frustrating to read because the rest of the women are so full of life and she just distances herself. She could be having a fantastic life with her lovely sisters and a loving husband, which is what everyone wants, however she chooses not to and no body knows why.
