The Unmaking of June Farrow: A Novel

This book is unlike any I’ve ever read; it felt like a breath of fresh air. I’m not sure I would have picked it up if my book club hadn’t recommended it, but I’m so glad I did because I loved it. It’s a beautiful, deep story that genuinely touches the heart. It took me a few chapters to get into it, but once I was engrossed, I couldn’t put it down. I don't want to reveal too much, as I don't want to spoil any part of this stunning narrative. All I will say is that you need to pay close attention, as it can get confusing, but everything comes together beautifully by the end. The story is told lyrically, the world-building is intricate, and the characters are wonderfully flawed. As a reader, I often felt torn: What would June do, and how would her actions affect those from the past and the present? I did predict one of the twists at the end, but I felt that we were meant to figure it out. I loved being on this journey with June and felt fully invested in her story. It was an emotional read, filled with themes of grief, guilt, betrayal, hope, and love. This book is unique, and I’m so glad I took a chance on it.

I loved this book so much. It had all the best things that kept me interested and intrigued!

I really enjoyed reading The Unmaking of June Farrow, the story follows the life of June Farrow across different timelines which is linked to a family curse in the Farrow women. The only reason I have rated it a 3.5/5 is because the timeline concept got a little confusing at times, the story was great but when it came to wrapping it up at the end I still couldn't quite get my head around it. This didn't spoil or ruining the ending for me though! The story and the characters were great, I could really immerse myself into the 1951 environment but I would liked to have been immersed in a little more action. For those that enjoy The Time Travellers Wife, I really recommend this read 😊

Part magic, part mystery and part love story.

Amazing time travel novel.
