I wanted to pick this up after reading Spells for Forgetting and loving it and The Unmaking of June Farrow did not disappoint at all. It was an incredible book with shocking plot twists, amazing characters and a lot of feelings. The writing style is beautiful and it will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting to find out what really happens to the Farrow women.

The Unmaking of June Farrow

By Adrienne Young

Practical Magic met the Time Travelers Wife. This is easily bingeable. I love Adrienne’s writing style and her ability to grip me from chapter one.

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.

This is 300+ pages of our atmosphere and tension. I loved it.
