Tyler has always had a knack for not writing literature, but writing life. As it is. Plopping yourself down with a Tyler feels right as a library loan on a weekday when you miss your family too much, so much so that the whirlwinds of constant conversations and talking heads spur laughter in recollection for you.

Remembering. Misremembering. The little quirks and stories, and why we remember them. In a tight-knit family with a tight-knit story do we get Tyler at her best in a story rich with the love and drama that naturally exists in family. The characters feel right there with you, part of the family.

A delightful charming book where the pages turn themselves. Cancel your plans, call in sick and prepare for a light hearted romp through the 3 days surrounding the marriage of Gail's daughter, Deb. Though the details are fraught with the mundane aspects of life, once you start reading the only key to freedom is the last page. Bottom line- A refreshing and engaging book that deals with human emotions and connections.

After reading so many long and dark books this year, I needed to read something light. And Three Days in June fit that bill. A story about Gail a divorced women and her ex husband Max, whose daughter is getting married. A cute story about coming together for a celebration.and their stories, the bride the groom, the in laws and even a cute cat that is brought from a shelter by Max.
This is one book that I will be sharing with my book club. Lots of scenarios to talk about. Get this book, you won’t be sorry.

I have always been a fan of Ann Taylor’s writing, so I was happy to see this book. It was a quick read, but full of beautiful character development. The story is told by the main character during the course of three days surrounding her daughter’s wedding. Gail is socially awkward and aware of it. We are treated to her thoughts of feeling inept. I’d love to say that I have never felt that way, but her thought process felt so real. I think that is Ann Taylor’s biggest strength, making people’s foibles and insecurities acceptable. I enjoyed this gentle book. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sharing it. I am voluntarily reviewing.

This was a really interesting/different type of book for me. The story telling was slightly all over the place, yet you knew what was going on and never got lost or sidetracked by the jumping around. It's a different look at marriage/divorce/motherhood from the woman's point of view and it's oddly comforting.

This is a totally charming, warm hearted look at a couple who have a chance to start anew while sharing their daughter’s wedding day. Written with a beautiful stark subtle humor, you enter Gail and Max’s world over a 3 day celebration of their daughter’s wedding. Gail is the mother stuck in time, afraid to change and grow. She has been divorced from Max for over 20 years. Max, is the father who seems to go with the punches but is underrated in terms of his depth and feelings. I could not stop reading this love story, and it’s one! Anne Tyler knows how to get to the heart of matters, and it’s never too late to start loving again.

This is not a novel.. not a short story.. not a novella. This is the start of a terrific book Tyler should write. She captures the characters so brilliantly..
Theses short chapters remind me of Strout’s books. The characters relate so totally. Olive Kittredge and Gail could be sisters. Even the tone of the words reminded me of Olive. Maryland and Maine are the backdrops for the two women so two like. . Glad to have read these few chapters. Thanks.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for trusting me with Three Days in June by Anne Tyler.

This is the story of Gail, the mother-of-the bride, and the three days surrounding her daughter’s wedding. These are not Gail’s best days. First, she learns she is overlooked for a promotion to headmaster at the school where she has been the assistant. Next, her ex husband, Max, show up with his cat and announces he will be staying with her. Finally, her daughter learns something about her fiancé and is questioning going through with the wedding.

I loved this book and devoured it in a day. The characters and most especially Gail are funny and engaging. There are so many laugh out loud moments inside a very sweet story.

This is my first Anne Tyler book but not my last.

I have been reading and loving Anne Tyler books for many years and this book does not disappoint. Although it’s short, it is packed with the poignant and beautiful observations that the author is known for. She can take an ordinary, simple cast of characters and make them feel as if they were your own family and friends. Most of life is not dramatic enough to make a movie or write a book about, but Anne takes everyday, mundane routines and makes them so real, believable and engaging. You can’t help connecting with the characters because they feel so familiar. I highly recommend this new book!
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

It was a pleasure to sit back and read this novel, knowing that the writer is so expert with language and insightful into human nature. While this novel is short at 176 pages, it is a completely fulfilling read.

The novel is structured around the three days of wedding activities. Gail, the mother of the bride, is having a seriously bad day the day before the wedding, and then her ex- husband, Max, unexpectedly comes to stay with her for the ceremony. As always with Tyler’s writing, we learn about the characters through their actions and dialog. Tyler respects the reader, so we can make our own assumptions about their personalities. There is humor and heart and the characters’ pasts slowly comes into focus as we navigate through the wedding and day after.

We see characters confront challenges and reflect on past mistakes. Gail faces some unpleasant truths about herself and shows signs of personal growth at the end. A delightful read!

Bored throughout the entire book. Good thing it was so short or I would have given up. Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy of the book.

Anne Tyler always takes the mundane details in life to weave her story. This novel is about a divorced couple during the days leading up to their daughter’s wedding. Family secrets in present day and past come to be. Although short, I loved it. Maybe too short so 4 stars. Classic Anne Tyler. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Three Days in June by Anne Tyler is a short reflective novel, focusing on 3 days from the perspective of the mother of the bride (a woman in her 50s/60s) on her daughter's wedding weekend. Recommended for readers looking for a character-focused novel, rich descriptions of internal emotions and observations, and a quick reflective read.

This short novel packed in so much in it. It was a joy to hey to know these characters over the three days in this book. This connection that the author builds is amazing, it feels like you have mad friends. I didn't want this to end. Fantastic!

This delightful book was sure to be a hit with me since Anne Tyler is a favorite author of mine. I enjoy all of her books. Three Days in June is about a family wedding with the day before, the day of and the day after the big event. Gail is the mother of the bride. She is a bit of an introvert and not always tactful or socially correct. Her relationship with her daughter, her ex-husband and her elderly mother are all part of the story. Anne Tyler has once again created a story that was funny at times but also able to dig deep into the workings of this family and it’s history of relationship shortcomings. I loved the ending to this short but entertaining story.

Anne Tyler writes with such ease that whatever the story, reading her work is a pleasure. She makes the mundane instantly recognizable so the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
A visiting author speaking at my school told the students the mark of a good book is watching a character grow. That is the essence of Three Days in June. As the book opened I thought Olive Kitteridge had migrated from one of Elizabeth Stroud’s stories and taken residence in Baltimore. A more unpleasant, closed-off woman has rarely been given top billing in a book. But with the aid of a good cat, Gail begins to take the first tentative steps from a life lacking in people skills to a world of infinite possibilities.
This is a quick read and a very satisfying story. I put this in the win column for Anne Tyler.

Short, a little snarky, and subtle. I liked this, felt I could identify with Gail and Max, and appreciated the circular logic that wove the pieces of the story together.

No huge twist, but simply a nicely-told tale.

I received a complimentary copy of the book from the publisher and NetGalley, and my review is being given freely.

Gail starts off by jumping ahead and quitting her job; what follows is a look back at her millions of little choices that lead her to that moment. All this takes place over the span of 3 days, the day before, the day of and the day after her daughters wedding.

Gail is a blandly boring character in the best sense. You can easily see yourself thinking the same thoughts and wondering the same ideas as she does. She's oddly quirky but likeable at parts. Her past major choices are shown through a lense of her daughters choices, hoping history does make the same mistakes.

I wished there was a epilogue set in the future to see how these current choice withstand time.

Gail’s daughter is getting married; her ex husband comes in town with his cat and needs to stay with her. It’s an easy read good book about relationships, forgetting the past, and living your life. The book has a positive ending.

Three Days in June examines the day before, day of, and day after Gail Baines and her ex-husband Max’s daughter's wedding. Gail has just learned that she won’t get the promotion she expected when Max unexpectedly arrives and stays at her house for the wedding weekend. They fall into old habits while enjoying being together, It's typical of Tyler with Gail and Max seeming like people I've known my whole life, people who know who they are now much more than when they were younger. Tyler never disappoints. I read this in less than a day. Could not set it aside.
