Thank you NetGalley as well as the publisher for providing me with an ARC in exchange for a honest review. 🌻💛
Lemme just say- ALL OF THE STARS!! Easily one of my all time favorite reads!
Wow!! So, was able to finally sit down last night well after work and really spend some time with this book, I thought, okay, I'm on basically no sleep so I'll read for a couple of hours and get some sleep. LOL , NO. This book grabbed a hold of me and would not let me go. I swear I was reading with one eye open rotating between dry as hell and tearing beyond belief just to find out what happened. I was in a serious chokehold and could not read fast enough!
I can not remember the last time I read something that made me feel like my brain was going to explode (in all the best ways of course) If you love magical realism and a twisty-turny, sci-fi psychological mind game- look no further. This book is so unbelievably good!
This story follows June Farrow, the last in the line of Farrow women who suffer from a mental illness. We are introduced to June as she is attending her grandmother's funeral, her mother had long passed as a result of mental illness and she is essentially now on her own. Shortly after her grandmother's funeral, June starts having hallucinations and 'episodes' that leads her to believe that the illness is now coming for her, that she is going to start losing her mind.
June opens a door that she is convinced is all in her mind and she is utterly shocked as to what is on the other side.
I loved every single character, Young did such an amazing job at brining them all to life. The romance is a bone-deep, epic, one and only, soulmate love that punched me right in the heart and made me feel. Completely captivated by this small town and all of the people in it, the writing is just exquisite , I could feel the fields and flowers on my finger tips. I was on the edge of my seat , probably with my eyes popping out of my head while I read, dying to see what happens next. This book is forever burned into my mind and heart and I will never forget it. Definitely doing a reread!
If you loved Spells for Forgetting , you will be OBSESSED with this one!
There is:
✔️Mystery/Thriller
✔️Mind-bending
✔️Family Curses
✔️Magical Realism
✔️Star Crossed Lovers
✔️Small Town
For fans of :
✔️Outlander
✔️What the Wind Knows
✔️Stranger Things
✔️The Time Travelers Wife
