I really enjoyed this story and thought it was so well written. I couldn't put it down! If you've enjoyed any of her other books, this is definitely one to read. I found it unpredictable and liked trying to solve the mystery.

I have been loving Adrienne's books as of late so when I saw this one available on Netgalley I knew I needed to try for it.

The cover is beautiful just like this story. A story of a family curse of the Farrow women.

I wasn't sure about our main character June in the beginning. I was worried I wouldn't like her but I ended up liking her at some point during the book and loving her by the end. I do wish we had seen a bit more of her and Mason though. Or maybe a story from Masons point of view.

That end though, was everything but now thinking back on it I might be a little confused. Is Junes life just a cycle and then the Farrow line ends with Annie because Annie never sees the door and possibly has no kids or what. I know she explained it in the end but I was up late reading it 😅.

I will definitely be ching out.more books from Adrienne in the future and thanks for much to Netgalley for q copy of this one.

This book had a lot of potential but disappointed me due to a few reasons. The curse on the farrow women remained a mystery even after the book ended. I understood what it entailed and how it affected the Farrow women, but the reasons behind why the Farrow women were cursed or who cursed them was never revealed. I understand that writing multiple timeline novels is a challenging. However, even taking notes, the explanation of how June could move between timelines was shaky at best. The main character was sympathetic, but I found myself bored with her and her decision making after a while. She is in her thirties, which was very exciting to me, yet her actions were quite immature and self serving. This book wasn't for me, but I hope other readers have a better time with it.

I have always really enjoyed Adrienne Young’s books, but I’m still surprised at how much I loved this book. It’s hard to say much without spoiling the twist of the story, and I would honestly go in knowing as little as possible to get the full experience. The writing was impeccable and the characters were so fully realized - highly recommended!

Thank you to the publisher and to Netgalley for granting me an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I did not expect to love this book as much as I did, but it's truly one of my favorite recent reads!

I normally do not love jeremy bearimys (iykyk), but the premise (and Western NC setting) were enough to make me give it a chance. I'm so glad I did! I really enjoyed the magical realism of this story, as well as the new take on breaking ~literal~ generational curses. The dynamic of the Farrow women was captivating, and I fell in love with all of them. I tore through this book in a day, and I absolutely shed a tear when it was over.

I'd recommend this book to historical fiction fans who enjoy a sparkle of magic. If you enjoyed the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, I think you'd love this read!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this e-ARC in exchange for my honest review!

🗣 Thank you to netgalley and Random House/Ballantine for the opportunity to read and review this book via gifted eARC! All opinions are honest and my own.

June Farrow has always lived a simple existence while growing up on her family's flower farm which is known for it's beautiful exotic flowers only found on Farrow land to the unique herbs and healing tinctures which tourists can't seem to get enough of when the seasons are right. June was raised by her loving grandmother (Gram) when her own mother disappeared when she was a little girl and June has never stopped wanting to solve her missing mother's mysterious life and why she didn't want to raise her own child. June knows the women in her family were cursed with an unknown inevitable mental illness occurring at any time in the Farrow women's lives so she knows she can never have a husband or children since the curse will pass on to her own female children and she refuses to even consider taking a risk. So June's future is doomed to be a lonely one indeed, although she's always been fine with that knowledgeable decision until Gram became gravely ill. June then began having hallucinations, hearing whispers and her name being called out by strange voices plus seeing a red door appearing in different locations out in the fields so June knows her time is coming. When Gram passes away though, it hits June much harder than she anticipated and feels her world completely turned upside down with a million questions but no one there to help her understand what is happening to her. June's need to find out about her mother's disappearance and feeling the pull of going through the red door (if that is even an option) plus missing Gram has rattled her life completely. Is June going crazy like the stories she had heard about her own mother or is there much more to this Farrow women curse than she could ever possibly understand.


This was an unexpected, beautiful story of quiet mystery, lost loves and a dual, mystical timeline full of secrets, lies and danger. Andrienne Young has written such an atmospheric and amazing story that was impossible to put down. I just needed to keep reading since I could never predict where this story would lead since I was truly mesmerized by the breathtaking writing! The beauty of the descriptive scenery and the heartfelt characters involved with the dual storylines evoked emotions that I wasn't prepared for nor could I predict the unexpected twists of so many characters who were a mainstay in June's life while June will always be an unforgettable character for myself!

I highly recommend this stunning novel and I will look forward to reading more books written by this very talented author.

I want to thank the publisher "Random House Publishing" and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this novel and any thoughts or opinions expressed are unbiased and mine alone!

I have given a rating of 4 1/2 STUNNING AND MESMERIZING 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌠 STARS!!

O.M.G! I loved this book so much! The story was so unique and interesting. I loved how it spanned time, yet was also so present.

The characters were so well fleshed out and made you really feel for them. It's not all that often that I truly feel foe the characters. But the author nailed it with this story.

Astonishing - have gone back through The Unmaking of June Farrow two times in two days for the sheer joy of it. Adrienne Young has written with her thoughtful pen the kind of beckoning whispers through which fantasy, mystery and time are woven into a compelling read that wrapped round me completely shawl-like. It took me to the very last bit to unwind myself. Riding those threads I found characters to worry over, and soon cared about their journeys and conclusions. A quite satisfying read.

I'm not giving out any clues. . . .you'll just need to jump in on your own.

*A sincere thank you to Adrienne Young, Random House Publishing Group, and NetGalley for and ARC to read and independently review.* #TheUnmakingofJuneFarrow #NetGalley 52:5

4.5 stars // Beautifully written and immersive as I’ve come to expect from Adrienne Young. A hint of mystery, romance and time travel. Honestly would be a perfect little fall read.

I will read anything Adrienne Young puts out!

This book is my favorite so far! I will forever recommend it as Young has such a way to weave a story.

Adrienne Young is one of my favorite authors, so it is no surprise that I LOVED this read. I think the magical elements in this story as well as Spells for Forgetting make the stories Young tells so unique. While I feel like it had a bit of a slower start, I was immediately immersed in the atmosphere (also I desperately need to find a flower farm as beautiful sounding as the farrows). Once June really leaned into the abilities of her family line (phrased that way to avoid spoilers friends!) I was so hooked. I need another 20 pages of epilogue because I will miss these characters dearly! Such an amazing story and a testament to family.

Thank you NetGalley for sharing this book with me early to read and review. This book wasn’t my favorite but I do love bits of it and know others will too!

Unfortunately, I was delayed posting this due to life developments, but it is now posted. This was an intriguing blend of fantasy, romance, time travel, and mystery that kept me entertained and trying to figure out what was going to happen until the end. I really enjoyed Young's Spell's for Forgetting, and this has confirmed for me that she will be on my auto-read list in the future. Both books had an interesting tone and atmosphere, yet they were totally different books in terms of plot. It will be exciting to see what she comes up with next.

The Unmaking of June Farrow was an interesting read. I’ve been reading books recently by going in pretty blind on what to expect the story to be about. This mystery/ love story definitely hooked me in but I found myself straying to other reads throughout.

June Farrow is a woman born to a family curse and she has vowed the curse will end with her. That is until she steps through a red door in the middle of a field. There was a lot going on in this story. I felt at some points a little confused on time lines. It wrapped up in a nice little bow at the end. But I was still left wanting to know more of the why, in regards to, the family curse. Still a wonderful read.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Delacorte Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I will read anything this author puts out!!! Another 5 star rating for me!!

THE UNMAKING OF JUNE FARROW is another favorite book by Adrienne Young! A beautiful story of love, family, heartbreak, and self-discovery. I loved the time travel aspect too. This is one I will think about for a long time! Read this one!

Thank you to the publisher and #NetGalley for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

A wonderfully strange story that combines time travel, magic, and a little something more. June is a fascinating character dealing with a weird and terrible situation. While some elements felt predictable, it still twisted and turned in other ways. Plus richly atmospheric through the whole story.

I love everything Adrienne young writes. This makes me want to move to Carolina’s. I love the magical realism and the magic weaved into every word. Second chance romance is my absolute favorite and it was done really well in here!

Heard amazing things about this book and am very thankful I was given the chance to read and review! I absolutely loved the mystery, romance, and small town vibes. It was something outside of my normal reads and I can’t wait to read more from the author. Thank you again for the chance to read and i cant wait to recommend this book to others.
