◽️B O O K R E V I E W: A Million Junes by Emily Henry
“Grief is an unfillable hole in your body. It should be weightless, but it's heavy. Should be cold, but it burns. Should, over time, close up, but instead it deepens.”
Emily Henry does… paranormal YA? Like a lot of bookstagram I devoured and LOVED People We Meet on Vacation, Book Lovers and Beach Read and I was ready for more. I found out she had some older books published that I didn’t see getting the same attention but I was very curious.
I was really nervous to start this one, but overall I enjoyed it. In true Emily Henry fashion, the prose was beautiful and I really cared about the characters. However, the story left something to be desired for me.
I didn’t quite follow all of the magical realism. I’m not sure if there were plot holes in the origin story or if I just missed something but I was a little confused by the end.
This is definitely it if you are looking for a YA read with heart. It’s Romeo and Juliet meets… alternate timelines. Overall, I give this one ⭐️⭐️⭐️
