I will read anything Adrienne Young puts out!

This book is my favorite so far! I will forever recommend it as Young has such a way to weave a story.

Adrienne Young is one of my favorite authors, so it is no surprise that I LOVED this read. I think the magical elements in this story as well as Spells for Forgetting make the stories Young tells so unique. While I feel like it had a bit of a slower start, I was immediately immersed in the atmosphere (also I desperately need to find a flower farm as beautiful sounding as the farrows). Once June really leaned into the abilities of her family line (phrased that way to avoid spoilers friends!) I was so hooked. I need another 20 pages of epilogue because I will miss these characters dearly! Such an amazing story and a testament to family.

Thank you NetGalley for sharing this book with me early to read and review. This book wasn’t my favorite but I do love bits of it and know others will too!

Unfortunately, I was delayed posting this due to life developments, but it is now posted. This was an intriguing blend of fantasy, romance, time travel, and mystery that kept me entertained and trying to figure out what was going to happen until the end. I really enjoyed Young's Spell's for Forgetting, and this has confirmed for me that she will be on my auto-read list in the future. Both books had an interesting tone and atmosphere, yet they were totally different books in terms of plot. It will be exciting to see what she comes up with next.

The Unmaking of June Farrow was an interesting read. I’ve been reading books recently by going in pretty blind on what to expect the story to be about. This mystery/ love story definitely hooked me in but I found myself straying to other reads throughout.

June Farrow is a woman born to a family curse and she has vowed the curse will end with her. That is until she steps through a red door in the middle of a field. There was a lot going on in this story. I felt at some points a little confused on time lines. It wrapped up in a nice little bow at the end. But I was still left wanting to know more of the why, in regards to, the family curse. Still a wonderful read.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine, Delacorte Press for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I will read anything this author puts out!!! Another 5 star rating for me!!

THE UNMAKING OF JUNE FARROW is another favorite book by Adrienne Young! A beautiful story of love, family, heartbreak, and self-discovery. I loved the time travel aspect too. This is one I will think about for a long time! Read this one!

Thank you to the publisher and #NetGalley for providing a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

A wonderfully strange story that combines time travel, magic, and a little something more. June is a fascinating character dealing with a weird and terrible situation. While some elements felt predictable, it still twisted and turned in other ways. Plus richly atmospheric through the whole story.

I love everything Adrienne young writes. This makes me want to move to Carolina’s. I love the magical realism and the magic weaved into every word. Second chance romance is my absolute favorite and it was done really well in here!

Heard amazing things about this book and am very thankful I was given the chance to read and review! I absolutely loved the mystery, romance, and small town vibes. It was something outside of my normal reads and I can’t wait to read more from the author. Thank you again for the chance to read and i cant wait to recommend this book to others.

I really enjoyed this book. It is the second book I’ve read by this author. She is able to weave magic, intrigue and wonderful storytelling to make it a great read.

Adrienne Young is one of my favorite writers ever. She can do no wrong as evident with this beautiful masterpiece of a novel. This immersive book had everything I could want in its pages: mystery, suspense, romance, time travel, and heartbreak. I felt every emotion while reading this and it truly drew me in and had me hooked. I thoroughly enjoyed the elements of fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, and romance and this book felt so atmospheric. Her writing transported me to the countryside of Jasper, NC, and captured all my attention. I truly felt like I was there with the FMC walking in her shoes. I even loved that our girl June was a bit unreliable as she spirals through her grief, emotions, and mental battles. This book kept me on my toes, wanting more, and once I started it, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Highly recommend to my friends and family and this is one I'll be reading again multiple times. Magical realism is my new favorite genre thanks to Young!!

Have you ever put off reading a book because you know you’re going to love it with every fiber of your being, but you already feel a sense of sadness for when it’ll be over?

That was this book for me. This was my most anticipated read for 2023. I kept delaying reading it, because I knew it would be over as soon as I began.

I was on the verge of tears as I was reading (and definitely shed tears at the end) simply because I loved it so much. I was fully immersed in this story. There is mystery, a timeless romance, an atmospheric and nostalgic setting, magical realism, mind bending concepts, and complex family dynamics. Truly one of the most unique stories I’ve read. It’s best if you go into this book completely blind.

Adrienne Young has become one of my favorite authors over the last year. If I’m reading one of her books, I can always expect to feel all the feels, be swept away by beautifully atmospheric writing, fall in love with the characters, and probably shed a few tears. Something about her stories hit me at my core and speak to my soul. June Farrow was no exception. These soul-stirring and emotion-evoking stories are the ones I crave. Books like this are why I love reading. I’ll be thinking about this book for a long time.

Another inventive and entertaining tale by Adrienne Young! Even though keeping up with the different time periods was somewhat confusing, I thoroughly enjoyed it and admire the author for such a unique plot. My thanks to the publisher for providing a review copy via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Say hello to the perfect fall read! Immersive, captivating, and atmospheric! I was swept away in a story with a touch of magic, romance, mystery, family relationships, historical/contemporary elements, and fall vibes.

I loved the setting of the NC mountains, and descriptions and all the Farrow women! I wanted to simultaneously devour and savor this one! I loved her lyrical writing and thought this book is so special.

Fans of Spells for Forgetting, Addie LaRue, Where the Crawdad’s Sings, and Shea Ernshaw’s books will love this one!

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group, Delacorte Press for an ARC of this book.

This book messed with my head more than any other I’ve ever read. I really am struggling to put sentences together after finishing it. This was the first book by Adrienne Young I’ve read and her writing is absolutely breath-taking. It hit me so deeply. Despite my confusion throughout the book and having to reread some parts multiple times to make sure I understood them, I’m so impressed with how connected the story became. The ending truly took me by surprise and the suspense build up throughout the book was incredible.

I've read and loved other books by Adrienne Young, but the tone here was so unexpectedly adult and emotional. June Farrow has lived a pretty lonely life at her grandmother's quaint farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains. When June's gran passes away, June is forced to confront the secret she's been keeping from her few close friends: the signs of mental illness that she has looked for her whole life are already affecting her. June's investigation into her family's secrets unfolds into an incredible love story that shows how far people will go for their friends, their children, their spouses, their family.

Thank you netgalley for the eARC!

"The Unmaking of June Farrow" by Adrienne Young is the literary equivalent of hitting the jackpot after eagerly anticipating a sequel to a stellar debut – talk about a satisfying encore. After being utterly captivated by Young's adult debut, "Spells for Forgetting," I had high hopes for this one. Spoiler alert: it exceeded expectations, snagging a solid five stars in my book.

The writing style was a seamless blend of elegance and excitement. The narrative unfolds effortlessly, drawing readers into the world of June Farrow with a magnetic charm. The anticipation I felt after Spells for Forgetting was not in vain; Adrienne Young manages to maintain her storytelling magic, I was hooked from the very beginning!

The characters are the true gems of this literary journey. June Farrow is a protagonist you can't help but root for, and Young's ability to breathe life into her creations is unparalleled.

It's the kind of book that leaves you with a sense of fulfillment, despite the circumstances, and a genuine appreciation for Adrienne Young's storytelling prowess.

This author is such an absolute favorite of mine. While I didn't fully connect with this one, I still loved her writing style. The story was easy to follow and I was captivated by the settings. The characters weren't my favorite but I think that was a personal problem. I think readers will fall in love with this book.

I found the whole story so engaging. The time travel piece can sometimes be confusing but it was done so well in this book. I liked the mystery that also underlined the story.
