I loved "Three Days in June
This book drew me in and kept my attention until the very end. In fact I didn't want it to end. Thoroughly enjoyable. Gail Baines' interior dialogue came across as real and true. The writing is tight, engaging, and funny. Anyone who wants an absorbing, entertaining and light read would enjoy this. Moreover, I think any woman would find Gail incredibly relatable.

Anne Tyler does it again
In typical Anne Tyler fashion, she makes the ordinary characters in Three Days In June very interesting. The three days in June are the day before, the day of, and the day after a wedding. I found myself thinking of these characters even when I wasn't reading this book. This is a delightful character driven book. I highly recommend.

Spinning the mundane into a delightful story.
Delightful storyline which is so very relatable as the main character wrestles with life choices; past experiences that have shaped her personality, and decisions that may alter the day-to-day moving forward. Anne Tyler crafts a believable, bittersweet, humor-filled scenario over the course of 3 days that readers will immediately embrace and debate; perfect for book clubs. Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy to review. Another gem from a proven talented author.

Ordinary is Extraordinary
I have never read an Anne Tyler novel that I did not enjoy. This one is really a novella describing 3 days around a divorced couple's only child's wedding. It wrestles with all the day to day issues average people in their sixties deal with, but in Tyler's hands, it makes for a very poignant and interesting tale. I particularly enjoyed the self-analysis that Gail if finally able to do by the story's end.

A wedding reunion
A wedding ceremony offers a family a time to pause and look at what went wrong and what is good about their lives at the moment. Gail, the mother of the bride must navigate the loss of a job she thought she was due, the arrival of her X with a cat to stay with her for the wedding and a secret she thinks she needs to share with her daughter, the bride.
The book moves at a fast clip and the reader is right there while the wedding unfolds . It all happens in s few days, the rehearsal, wedding and the feelings afterwards. Now what? Is the question for the parents of the bride when the ceremony is over. A good read with well developed characters.

Three Junes by Anne Tyler
I have been a fan of Ann Tyler forever and have read a lot of her books.
The dialogue between characters is always interesting to me. They are so honest and real. You can actually imagine meeting these people at a social gathering, in the grocery store.,etc. She does not disappoint.

A Slow & Thoughtful Story
As soon as I started reading this book, I felt like I had reconnected with an old friend who I was comfortable with. In this case, Anne Tyler is the old friend. There's such a feeling in her books & it was very much here in Three Days In June. Each person in this short novel have their quirks, their history, their short comings. I felt that even though several of these people could be viewed as difficult or odd, there was no judgement & over the course of the story we find out more of their back stories. I loved that there seemed to be empathy, even though at times it was slow to show itself. This was a true Anne Tyler story & I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Anne Tyler Again
I had previously read many Tyler novels and was surprised to see her recent fiction! I had read several of her earlier books so knew her style of writing and I was not disappointed. Her theme of an older woman and recently divorced on the three days around her only daughter's wedding were well conceived. Tyler stayed on this theme, but introduced her ex husband, Max, who brought some alternatives to their relationship and then there was the cat for comical relief!! If you are a cat lover, you will certainly like this book!
