I adored this book. I adore Adrienne Young's writing in general. There's something so comforting yet chilling about her writing. She makes the perfect reads for the fall season, when it's becoming cold outside and you curl up under a blanket with a good book.

I worried at the start this would be like Spells for Forgetting - which as good as it was, I didn't want a repeat of - but it wasn't. It had the same small town feel as SFF, but this book stands on it's own entirely. I loved the concept created here. It's not original by any means but I loved this take on it. I loved and hated in equal measures not knowing what was happening throughout the book. Hated it, because I hate surprises and I spoil everything for myself but loved it because I could feel the same frustration and confusion and desire to know the truth that June felt, and when you can feel the very emotions of the characters you're reading about, you know they've been done right.

I said this in my review for SFF but I just enjoy so much the subtly of the magic Young writes in her books. It's not as in your face as other books of it's kind but that gives it a more natural, complex feel I think.

I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mind-bendy, alternate reality type stories and I also recommend it as a perfect fall read.

The Unmaking of June farrow is an absolutely amazing read with a mystery, a family curse and time travel. This was my first book by Adrienne Young and it definitely won't be my last as I completely fell in love with her writing from the very first chapter and really didn't want to put this down. This was an incredibly unique plot full of amazing characters with loads of depth. This took me on a rollercoaster of emotions too, especially as there is a lot of heart-breaking moments. Overall I highly recommend as this blew me away and I think this is going to be a massive hit.

The Unmaking of June farrow is the perfect autumn read with an interesting mystery mixed in with a family curse and time travel. What more could you want?

This is my second Adrienne Young book and I hope it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed reading Spells for Forgetting last year so this book did not disappoint. The plot was so fresh and unique, the time travel elements were confusing but in the best way possible.

I adored how the romance was written, its hard to settle on a specific trope but it was like a second-chance romance but so much more complex. The characters were so well written and I had such a deep connection to June and Eamon. I felt so much grief and heartache when reading this book and I was hooked from page one. The last 100 pages were so intense I couldn’t put it down. I was so impressed how everything just fit together throughout the book and it left no unanswered questions (there was also a lot of crying involved).

Thank you NetGalley and Quercus Books for the ARC!

What an absolutely beautiful read!
I literally struggled to put this book down and basically read it in one sitting.

The author's writing was beautiful and really drew me in. I enjoyed the story and found the main character June very well written with good character development.

I found that I was able to guess the ending, but that didn't deter me from still enjoying this read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it a refreshing change from what I usually read. I hope the author continues to write books like these because I will definitely read them.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced reading copy of Adeline Young's The Unmaking of June Farrow.

This is the first book of Adeline Young's that I've read and I really enjoyed it! It was easy style of writing to understand even with fantasty mechanics thrown in - which can sometimes be difficult to understand...

The setting and world was easy to picture and well described. I did wonder whether all the name dropping of street and people was going to be relevant later on - it is!

I found that the story was interesting, but the main character wasn't very interesting in herself? Other than what's happening to her and she liked agriculture.. Her personality was a bit non-existent?

But I would recommend this as a standalone book if someone wanted a quick read for a holiday 🥰

I feel like I don’t have the right words to explain the feelings this book left in me.

A overwhelmingly magical read that will remain with me for a long time. This was the perfect cosy mystery with so many twists and turns I was constantly shocked or awed by.

This was such a joyful, immersive read I wish I could forget about, just to read and experience again. One of my top reads for 2023 by far.

I love a good time travel story and this mystery romantic time travel book is one of the best I have ever read. This is a unique story which is complex, clever and intriguing; and it’s a real page-turner too - Once I started this book, it was impossible to put down. From the first chapter I was hooked on putting the puzzle pieces together! This is by far the best book I have read this year and I can’t thank NetGallery and Quercus Books enough for introducing me to this Author; who has such a great storytelling style, I will definitely be looking at her other books for my next read.

In this novel we follow June Farrow, the last of the Farrow ladies as she’s waiting for the mysterious curse to hit her, like it has hit all the previous women in her family line. After her grandmother’s passing, she starts looking for clues to see if she might be able to avoid her life to end just like hers.

The background was so eerie and creepy, perfect for fall, the story line as well it took me on a wild ride. The writing was super easy and made the story fast paced which was perfect for this.

I really enjoyed June and all the other characters were great, I can’t say who my favorite was since it could be spoilers, but I really enjoyed his part in this story.

This is great if you’re looking for a cozy mistery with a bit of fantasy/sci-fi in the background.

Thank you netgalley and quercus books for allowing me to read this arc.

An immersive time jump fantasy featuring a generational curse and a woman trying to break it. This book has a large focus on familial love and the different bonds between generations, I found it very interesting how these women connected with each other throughout the years and the cross over periods. I loved the setting of this book and the mystery was well done.
