Thank you to the publisher for my egalley!

THE UNMAKING OF JUNE FARROW is another knock out of the park by Adrienne Young! A beautiful story of love, family, heartbreak, and self discovery. While time travel is one of my least favorite tropes, this one wove its way into my heart and will be a book I think about for a very long time. 

June Farrow is one of the most complex characters I’ve ever read, written in a way that only Young can accomplish. Teetering between two worlds, we walk alongside June as she makes crucial decisions that will affect not only her life, but the lives of those most important to her. You can’t read this book and not feel a tugging in your heart that reminds you of the power of the love a mother has for her child.

The Farrow women are strong, intelligent, and cursed. Each possesses a level of depth that grounded me to them from the start, attaching me to their back story and investing me in their future lives. Unwavering and inspiring, their allegiance to one another will leave you wondering, “How far would I go for the people I love most?”
