I'm very new to time travel novels. The three I previously loved (Come Back to Me and Never Leave Me by Jody Hedlund and For a Lifetime by Gabrielle Meyer) included significant events and big, bold drama.
The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young is different; quieter, a character study of relationships including marriage, motherhood, and matriarchal lineage. And I loved every page.
Set in North Carolina, this story includes magical realism, romance, mystery, nostalgia, secrets, sacrifice, family tradition, and a red door. The emotions were completely genuine which made the actions feel believable as well. As a reader who doesn't enjoy fantasy or scifi stories, I was pleasantly shocked by how much I loved this novel.
This was my first book by this author. I have no interest in her YA fantasy backlist, but I'm looking forward to reading her next book, A Sea of Unspoken Things, very soon.
