The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young

4.0

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!
