I wanted to like this book more than I did. I love the concept, it just made my brain hurt trying to keep all the time travel threads together and in the right order. June Farrow has always known that she is from a family of strong, yet curiously sick women. Her mother abandoned her on her family's steps and her grandmother slowly lost her mind as well. It's not your average mental illness, something seems to unravel the Farrow women and June knows it's only a matter of time before it happens to her as well. She's put off love, hopes, and dreams, and surrendered herself to the family curse. After her mother's funeral, June receives a newspaper article featuring her mother... from nearly 80 years ago. How could that be? Maybe she just looks identical to her mom? She starts following a trail of breadcrumbs an things start getting really weird, really fast. When the visions and "hallucinations" start to get real bad, her dear friend Birdie tells her that the next time she sees the red door she has to go through it. But what is on the other side? A twisty magical realism book about love, family secrets, and the power to change our past by changing the future.
