Loved the mystery of this. The clues were all there but I didn’t feel like it was obvious. Makes me wanna go to the forest.

What I loved about The Unmaking of June Farrow was this author's ability to make me feel immersed in the atmosphere without taking away from the story itself. While Adrienne's descriptions of ambiance remain incredible throughout this book, I felt bogged down by it in the first half. I had a hard time staying connected to the characters at first. By the midway point, though, the story picked up and I couldn't put the book down. I even got teary-eyed by the end. While it wasn't exactly what I expected, it was still beautiful and I will definitely keep reading this author's work!

Adrienne Young is an auto-buy for me. So when I found out she had a new book coming I jumped at the chance to read it. I was not at all disappointed.
A Sea of Unspoken Things is a bit of a thriller, a coming home story, and a light romance as well (no steamy scenes, all closed door). The characters feel like real human beings and the drama that plays out is natural, conversations flowed and made sense.
I deducted one star because the story dragged at times, and I was not a fan of the ending (but maybe YOU might be!).
James, Johnny, and Micah pop off the page. This was a really good book about the choices people make, their consequences, family and found family, and what "home" really means.
TW: allusions to power imbalance SA, SA, talk of suicide, pregnancy, death.
Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this novel.
