jenbsbooks 's review for:

The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young
3.5

While I was in this, I was liking it a LOT. But, time travel is always so confusing and this one even more so! As it finished, I wasn't sure I understood, and even looking at Q&A and re-reading portions, I still just don't really get it. Maybe a "me" problem, but that does affect my enjoyment. Leaving me more perplexed than "ahhhh" ...

This had the angst ... lots of complex things to deal with. The time travel, what life to live, should she get involved, a little murder mystery thrown in. 

I went with the audio edition. Brittany Pressely did a good job with the narration. I know I've listened to other books she's done and her voice sounded very familiar, but I can't place which past book I seemed to be associating the sound with. Loved the slight accent for Eamon.

There weren't really any "oh I need to stop the story and go highlight that" moments. 1st person/past tense. Simple chronological chapters. There was "smirking" going on ... Kindle search, and it was only four times, but felt like more. One f-bomb. A bit of sex, not explicit. 

Looking at the other editions ... I really like the Delecorte Press cover with the red door on it.
