Publisher's summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A woman risks everything to end her family’s centuries-old curse, solve her mother’s disappearance, and find love in this mesmerizing novel from the author of Spells for Forgetting.

“Come for the fresh twist on time travel; stay for the love story.”—Good Housekeeping

A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING AND SHE READS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

In the small mountain town of Jasper, North Carolina, June Farrow is waiting for fate to find her. The Farrow women are known for their thriving flower farm—and the mysterious curse that has plagued their family line. The whole town remembers the madness that led to Susanna Farrow’s disappearance, leaving June to be raised by her grandmother and haunted by rumors.

It’s been a year since June started seeing and hearing things that weren’t there. Faint wind chimes, a voice calling her name, and a mysterious door appearing out of nowhere—the signs of what June always knew was coming. But June is determined to end the curse once and for all, even if she must sacrifice finding love and having a family of her own.

After her grandmother’s death, June discovers a series of cryptic clues regarding her mother’s decades-old disappearance, except they only lead to more questions. But could the door she once assumed was a hallucination be the answer she’s been searching for? The next time it appears, June realizes she can touch it and walk past the threshold. And when she does, she embarks on a journey that will not only change both the past and the future, but also uncover the lingering mysteries of her small town and entangle her heart in an epic star-crossed love.

With The Unmaking of June Farrow, Adrienne Young delivers a brilliant novel of romance, mystery, and a touch of the impossible—a story you will never forget.

Critic reviews

“A must-read for fans of V. E. Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, who will be drawn into Young’s deeply emotional story of self-discovery, family, and love.”Booklist, starred review

“Young once again blends mystery, magic, and romance in a story that spans time. . . . [A] seamlessly blended story that is enhanced by the well-crafted setting and nicely drawn characters. Readers who enjoyed Weyward by Emilia Hart will find much to love here.”Library Journal

“[T]he relationship between June and Eamon is touching and the mystery intriguing and suspenseful. Readers will root for June as she tries to find where she belongs.”Publishers Weekly

Original storyline

Very original story line. Loved how it had Fried-Green-Tomatoes mixed with Tuck-Everlasting and The-Time-Traveler’s-Wife feels. My only issue was with the actress reading sounding like she was straining a whisper most of the time.

Loved the narration of this story. She brought the characters to life and made me feel like I was there, watching this beautiful story of love unfold. The things we would do for those we love are portrayed so well in this story.

Details

I really enjoy this author. They know how to paint a beautiful picture with words.
I wish I had read the book because the narrator tried a bit too hard for that accent and often drug the words out like she was falling asleep.
