The Unmaking of June Farrow by Adrienne Young - heard on Libby app - 12 hours

 I don't recall who recommended this book to me, but I had to wait months for it on Libby. At first it was intriguing, but I got tired of the constant hysterical stress that this woman was under. Practically the whole story is stress-ridden and frantic. The characters are interesting, but rather mysterious. I was hoping for a mystery, which it is, but it was a weird, thriller kind of mystery that had so many time travel complications that I couldn't really follow it that well. Still, I persevered, because the descriptions of the land and the flowers were beautiful, and I kept hoping it would all make sense. It kind of came together, but it was not particularly satisfying...

Still, it gave me an interesting diversion as I walked the miles around our neighborhood this beautiful fall. Once I'm into a story, it's hard for me to stop. I know I dislike sci-fi, and this is similar. I should have known better and given up sooner. Oh well...the reader had a lovely southern accent...
