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’sdecades-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.
This book was so good. I tore through it trying to guess the mystery the whole way through. Of course I was wrong about 80% of the time, but it was fun to keep trying. The reveals constantly had me gasping and shouting “what??” I have never made so many annotations in a book to keep track of my thoughts.
I really enjoyed the FMC, and the journey she went through to discover the secrets of her mother’s disappearance and the curse of the Farrow women. I never found her annoying, but was constantly rooting for her to have a happy ending with her star-crossed love. I wanted things to work out for her, and for her to be happy; I felt like she deserved it.
Adrienne Young really tugs at my heartstrings with the way she writes her FMCs. I also enjoyed that June was older (in her early thirties) as opposed to being in her late teens or early twenties. Sometimes it’s nice to have a MC that’s a little more mature and settled in their life before things start happening. It made her very relatable for me both in the way she handled her grief over the lose of her grandmother and her stress over the trials she experienced.
I was already recommending this book before I had even finished reading it, and I will be recommending it for quite some time.
