Enjoyed this extremely unique book, but the ending was super confusing and was so rapid fire. Wish it was wrapped up a bit cleaner and didn’t have such glaring plot holes.
A bonus - I always love reading a North Carolina based story and an author who lives here!

“The Unmaking of June Farrow” made me feel like I was watching a movie. Adrienne Young did an amazing job of showing the beauty of motherhood. I think this would be a perfect Mother’s Day gift. Such a beautiful story. The authors note was thoughtful as well.✨

I don't think I'm in the mindset to continue with this novel at the moment. I may pick it up at another time, but I'm finding it very slow and mundane.

The Unmaking of June Farrow took me a number of chapters to get into, but once the plot started moving, I was absolutely hooked in a there-goes-two-perfectly-good-nights-of-sleep kind of way. Young’s novel is an appealing blend of relationship fiction (I’m trying to move away from the cringey term “women’s fiction”), speculative fiction, romance and mystery. It tells the story of a line of Farrow women who have always been considered odd by their small town in the blue mountains and treated as outsiders.
I don’t want to risk plot spoilers by saying much more; however, The Unmaking of June Farrow packs an extremely compelling premise and a satisfying plot. I would have loved for it to be longer so that there was space for more character development, but I would still recommend this as a really enjoyable read. This book is neither overtly witchy nor autumnal, but it felt perfect for October.
Thank you to Ballantine, Delacorte Press and NetGalley for the ARC!
