Romeo and Juliet meets One Hundred Years of Solitude in Emily Henry's brilliant follow-up to The Love That Split the World, about the daughter and son of two long-feuding families who fall in love while trying to uncover the truth about the strange magic and harrowing curse that has plagued their bloodlines for generations.

"A beautiful, lyrical, and achingly brilliant story about love, grief, and family. Henry's writing will leave you breathless." —BuzzFeed


Romeo and Juliet meets One Hundred Years of Solitude in Emily Henry's brilliant follow-up to The Love That Split the World, about the daughter and son of two long-feuding families who fall in love while trying to uncover the truth about the strange magic and harrowing curse that has plagued their bloodlines for generations. 
 
In their hometown of Five Fingers, Michigan, the O'Donnells and the Angerts have mythic legacies. But for all the tall tales they weave, both founding families are tight-lipped about what caused the century-old rift between them, except to say it began with a cherry tree.
 
Eighteen-year-old Jack “June” O’Donnell doesn't need a better reason than that. She's an O'Donnell to her core, just like her late father was, and O'Donnells stay away from Angerts. Period.
 
But when Saul Angert, the son of June's father's mortal enemy, returns to town after three mysterious years away, June can't seem to avoid him. Soon the unthinkable happens: She finds she doesn't exactly hate the gruff, sarcastic boy she was born to loathe. 
 
Saul’s arrival sparks a chain reaction, and as the magic, ghosts, and coywolves of Five Fingers conspire to reveal the truth about the dark moment that started the feud, June must question everything she knows about her family and the father she adored. And she must decide whether it's finally time for her—and all of the O'Donnells before her—to let go.

Praise for A Million Junes

Praise for A Million Junes:

"A gift to readers' imaginations . . . a textured story that is an exploration of duty, family, and faith and yet doesn't forget the humor of everyday life." --Booklist

"Highly imaginative and heartbreaking . . . be prepared to shed a tear or two." --RT Book Reviews

"Henry takes the well-known Shakespeare tragedy Romeo and Juliet and turns it into a modern-day romance with an original ghostly twist....A perfect choice for young teens looking for romance, friendship, and magic in their fiction." --School Library Journal

"The ultimate theme of the book is thoroughly realistic, reminding readers that memory is a tricky thing and much of our identity is created by the tall and small tales we tell ourselves." --BCCB

"A transcendent and moving portrayal of how grief shapes memory, and how the legacies we leave are a collection of moments and heartbeats. Henry's writing feels like a knife in the night--unexpected, cutting, and heart-jolting." --Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Star-Touched Queen

"A Million Junes is intricate, strange, ecstatic, and spellbinding. The sheer poetry and imagination of Emily Henry's writing won't take your breath away--you'll give it up willingly." --Jeff Zentner, Morris Award-winning author of The Serpent King

"Dreamy, beautiful and completely enchanting, A Million Junes feels true in the way that all of the best stories do--with tangled families, grief-tinged memories, loyal friends, deep love, and a little bit of magic. It's a story that will haunt you like a feathery ghost, lingering long after you've put it down." --Moïra Fowley-Doyle, author of The Accident Season and Spellbook of the Lost and Found
