A 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 author of Spells for Forgetting.
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 plagued their family line. The whole town remembers the madness that led to Susanna Farrow’s disappearance, leaving June to be raised by her grandmother and haunted by rumors.
It’s been a year since June started seeing and hearing things that weren’t there. Faint wind chimes, a voice calling her name, and a mysterious door appearing out of nowhere—the signs of what June always knew was coming. But June is determined to end the curse once and for all, even if she must sacrifice finding love and having a family of her own.
After her grandmother’s death, June discovers a series of cryptic clues regarding her mother’s decades-old disappearance, except they only lead to more questions. But could the door she once assumed was a hallucination be the answer she’s been searching for? The next time it appears, June realizes she can touch it and walk past the threshold. And when she does, she embarks on a journey that will not only change both the past and the future, but also uncover the lingering mysteries of her small town and entangle her heart in an epic star-crossed love.
With The Unmaking of June Farrow, Adrienne Young delivers a brilliant novel of romance, mystery, and a touch of the impossible—a story you will never forget.

This is one of my new favorite books of all time. This is a perfect book. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. This book is why I love reading.
I wanted to pick this up after reading Spells for Forgetting and loving it and The Unmaking of June Farrow did not disappoint at all. It was an incredible book with shocking plot twists, amazing characters and a lot of feelings. The writing style is beautiful and it will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting to find out what really happens to the Farrow women.
Huge thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-arc.
This was one of my most highly anticipated releases of 2023 and it did not disappoint.
We follow June Farrow, a 30s woman born to a line of women suffering from a terrible curse: they all go mad.
We watch as June's last living relative passes and she descends into the curse she's known was coming her entire life.
When a mystery starts to unfold, we are transported to a time of new beginnings and second chances.
I highly recommend The Unmaking of June Farrow be added to the top of your TBR.
