Three Days in June

I wanted to give Gail a great big giant hug after reading this book. This book may be short on pages but packs quite a powerful quiet punch. I found this book to be beautifully written, moving, gripping, and thought provoking. Relationships are the name of the game in this wonderful book!

Three Days in June provides readers with a look into the life of Gail Baines over the course of, you guessed it, three days. One the first day, we along with Gail, learns she is losing her job. Add that to the fact that she was not invited to the spa day prior to her daughter, Debbie’s wedding. Then Max, her ex-husband, shows up with a cat and no place to stay. Whew!

I enjoyed getting to know the characters and see Gail’s present life and relationships while getting glimpses into her past and past relationships. Gail may not be a people person, but she has a heart, feelings, and emotions. The characters are quirky, unique, interesting, and memorable.

I enjoyed reading along as Gail, Max, and Debbie interacted amongst themselves and others. In three days so much happened and changed for all for all of them in quiet but BIG ways

This is the first book Anne Tyler book that I have read, and I am looking forward to reading more of her books.

Beautifully written and a joy to read.

Thank you to Knopf and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
