A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING AND SHE READS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

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.

With The Unmaking of June Farrow, Adrienne Young delivers a brilliant novel of romance, mystery, and a touch of the impossible—a story you will never forget.

“A must-read for fans of V. E. Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, who will be drawn into Young’s deeply emotional story of self-discovery, family, and love.”—Booklist, starred review

“[T]he relationship between June and Eamon is touching and the mystery intriguing and suspenseful. Readers will root for June as she tries to find where she belongs.”—Publishers Weekly

Dreamy and haunting

I loved this book. Dreamy, suspenseful, beautifully written, I can’t wait to listen to it again. Amazingly narrated and so rich. I will be thinking about June, the red door, time, and date for a long, long time.

Great Story

Completely unnecessary excerpt at the end about Jim Crow laws. It didn’t even pertain to the story in any way except for location setting. Actually made me regret purchasing the book :(

Really enjoyed

I really enjoyed this take on time travel and timelines. The characters felt like real people with real struggles and personality flaws - not epic mystical people who handle everything flawlessly. I enjoyed the narrators performance as well.

Adventures await behind the door

I came into this book completely blind. It was a readalong pick for this month and I didn’t look into it at all prior to listening to it. I’m glad I did because there wasn’t any clue to how this story would unfold. I love a bit of historical romance and this hit the spot. I enjoyed this and it was a quick read.

Held my interest to the end

Follow June through time as she unravels the mystery of her life, who she is, who her loved ones are, and why she made the choices she made.

Intrigued

This story kept my attention the entire time!! The surprises at the end were heartwarming.

Beautiful story that draws you in

I love it!! Author did an amazing job with the storyline. Keeps you engaged and on the edge of your seat

Loved it!

I was sad to have it end, it was such an interesting version of time travel, so we'll thought out and intriguing.

Absolutely wonderful story!

Narrator is a bit breathy but the story unfolds so beautifully I couldn’t put the book down.

Superb as always

Superb as always! I really liked this story, it reminded me a LOT of a story I wrote some years back and gave up on. Adrienne has never written a story with such a strong maternal pull as this one and it was really beautiful and gripping! It was so nice to see that side of her and her writing! So talented as always! She’s forever an autobuy author for me! 🖤✨
