A Million Junes, by Emily Henry
4.0
I read Beach Read earlier this summer and found Emily Henry's writing to be memorable. So, of course, I had to see what else she has done. I picked this one up without reading the summary or any reviews, which I've been doing a lot lately. It's almost like a blind date with a book.
A Million Junes is unexpected and a perfect fall read. Ghosts, grief, and family history are wrapped in a modern Romeo and Juliet retelling. Jack, aka Junie, and Saul are the star-crossed lovers predestined to despise each other. With three previous generations worth of adversity to overcome, Junie and Saul find themselves drawn together and desperate to rid themselves of the hate and curse between them.
I enjoyed this magical retelling. Emily paints a beautiful picture and I was intrigued from the first page to the last.
