Summary

One woman risks everything to end her family's centuries-old curse, solve her mother's disappearance, and find love in this mesmerizing novel from the bestselling author of Spells for Forgetting.

With The Unmaking of June Farrow, Adrienne Young delivers a brilliant story with romance, mystery, and a touch of the impossible: a story you will never forget.

In the small mountain town of Jasper, North Carolina, June Farrow is waiting for fate to find her. The Farrow women are known for their thriving flower farm - and the mysterious curse that has haunted them for generations.

The madness that led to Susanna Farrow's disappearance left her daughter, June, to be raised by her grandmother. Everyone in Jasper is certain it's only a matter of time before she finds the same end, but June has kept secret that her unravelling has already begun.

After her grandmother's death, June follows a series of clues that link her mother's disappearance to the town's dark history, leading finally to a mysterious door.

Behind it may lay the answer to the mysteries that have always lingered like a dark shadow. Upon crossing the threshold, June embarks on a journey that will not only change both the past and the future, but entangle her fate and her heart in a star-crossed love.

Good but could have been better

I liked the (audio)book, but I didn't love it. the pace was at times really slow and then picked up suddenly towards the end and everything was over in 1hr or so.

Without giving spoilers, the development of certain relationships also felt very rushed.

a wonderful story, even more wonderfully narrated

I really love the narrator and how she put everything into telling this story. I love the story premise, and how well it was executed. it is beautiful, and tragic, mysterious and heartwarming while also somewhat heart breaking.
I would recommend it, to anyone.

I think the story itself was good. BUT I should have physically read it. I believe it would have been a great experience then.

The narrator, my gosh she always sounded like she was about to cry. And I felt she slowed the pace down unnecessarily. I don’t like speeding up voices as it distorts the sound and ruins the experience. So I continued. I think if I physically read it maybe I would have rated the story closer to 3.75/5. Or maybe it was simply too overhyped and I was expecting too much…

Absolutely amazing gripping book!

The way Adrienne Young built these worlds and kept me on my toes constantly guessing what was going to happen is incredible! Birdie was my absolute favourite character, the ending was incredibly satisfying! I loved this book!

Brittany Pressley has also done a great job at voicing these characters, i could feel the emotions the author tried to convey, the fear, the love, the doubt, the memories! Really good work!

Stunning story and narration

This book is breathtaking to listen to…following June’s story along with her is a joy. The narrator brings June and the story to life. Can’t wait to listen to it again!

very slow

While I can see the positive of adding as much detail as the author has done, I don't see it necessary in a character driven story like this.

Just too slow

Was intrigued by this story but found the execution just too slow. Would try something else by this author
