book review || Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

video review || 5 by 5: Second Chance Romances || 5 Romance Reads and Reviews

Wow the character creation of both Sean and Eva is so freaking good? They both feel completely fleshed out, with well-formed backgrounds and personalities that jump off the page. They’re complex and complicated. What has really won me though is as soon as the two of them are in the same room, I lost it. They have amazing banter and this constant tension that you could cut with a knife.

We do actually see some of their relationships when they were teenagers, which also has me so invested. They’re both struggling with difficulties in their lives. Sean is an alcoholic and self-destructive while Eva’s lonely and struggling to find herself and control, suffering from chronic migraines. Both of them have poor home lives and they find companionship in each other so quickly.

Apparently, toxic young love second chance romance really does it for me, because I’m in love with this in both timelines. Their relationship is just so intense and you can feel it in every interaction. I definitely felt the passion in the past chapters and the tension in the current, making me truly believe in their feelings for one another. I felt every emotion while reading this and the entire time, I was so enamored with Shane and Eva, no matter which timeline we were seeing their relationship.

There are also these great lines about writing and the process of it, discussion around black stories and inspiration versus co-opting, all of which I’m really enjoying.

As always, we had a third-act conflict, but I really liked how it was handled, without being dragged out. The events that occurred because of it hurt my heart initially, but I think made the final reunion that much sweeter.

I adored the scenes with Audre interacting with Shane, which actually gave me faith that his relationship with Eva could genuinely last and be a happy ever after for their little family. This was so damn good, I can’t not give it 5 stars.

read in 2024: seven days in june by tia williams

“One thing,” she whispered, her lips by his jaw. She didn’t want anyone to overhear. “Before I forget.” “What’s that?” “Stop writing about me.” [...] In a voice both raspy and low, and so, so familiar, Shane said, “You first.”

Best Books Read in January 2023

I was incredibly lucky this year to read some absolutely amazing books and while I will probably do a top five of the year, there are so many good book I would be skipping over that I am going to try and make a post for the top 3-5 I read each month (it was a big reading year lol)

This post will cover January, which kicked everything off with a bang!!

Kindred by Octavia Butler

This was my first Octavia Butler book and it blew my mind. It is about a woman from the 1970s who travels to the 1800s, on the plantation of her ancestors. A difficult and rewarding read that commands respect and asks harrowing questions.

Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn

The sequel to Legendborn that makes me remember how much I love these big, epic YA fantasies. Deonn creates a loveable found family with vibrant dynamics that I crave more content for. Her commentary on grief and institutional racism are eye opening and heartbreaking. A worthy sequel that has me begging for the third!

Sisters of the Neversea by Cynthia Leitich Smith

I have come to love response literature, and this book is a prime example of using a secondary text to analyze the original within a novel. The way Smith approaches the sexism and racism of Peter Pan is really powerful. Truly an example of how middle grade books can be just as smart as adult books.

Honorable Mentions:

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

A romance between two writers that subverts many tropes. Some of the best chemistry I have seen on page!!

Sorry, Bro by Taleen Voskuni

I've never read a book with an Armenian protagonist and so this was very special to me for that reason.

6.15.2023

"I wanna be where all your paths end."

It took me more than seven days this June to read Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, because I was so in love with the story that I didn't want it to end.

The poetic ways Shane speaks to and about Eva set my heart on fire. I wish everyone was so able to explain their feelings for others, we'd all be a lot better off.

Reading this in a time of learning to live with the pains of life made the story even more alive. I seriously understand why this book has been reviewed so well by so many people. Adding it to my comfort list immediately.

Do you know what puts me in the verge of a breakdown, is when the mmc sees the fmc after years and ask her "are you happy?" AAAHHHH a backflip from the rooftop

Ugh let me cry over Mashadima, Evashane and JonathanKennedy

Destigmatizing male vulnerability is the first step toward rebuilding the absolute ruin that straight men have left the world in.

Adult romance novel

Second-chance romance about two authors (one of literary fiction, one of paranormal romance) who spent a week in love as teenagers before they were torn apart until they reunite twenty years later and must confront that they’ve been unable to forget each other in the intervening years–and may have a chance for a real future together now

Complicated romance with a real connection at the heart and equally real barriers to happiness the two protagonists must confront

Explores addiction, trauma, and living with an invisible disability (chronic migraines)

Black main characters

#very good second-chance romance!#the obstacles to their relationship felt very real #but so did the chemistry/connectionn #tbh i was way more interested in the present-day stuff than the flashbacks #there was a bit of 'huh that's it?' when i got to the end of their first week together #but i really enjoyed the present-day timeline #good balance of humor/romance/serious topics i think #liked the author aspect and the commentary on the publishing world #also i have read two books this year (this plus yerba buena)#where a character is researching her creole family's history #and now i want to read a historical fiction novel about creole communities #will have to do some googling #oh and this would make a good movie or miniseries i think #seven days in june #tia williams #2023 reads #i remember this from the tiffany achy books i think!#lulu speaks #lulu reads seven days in june #books #last note: this is a romance novel but deals with some quite serious topics #so i might suggest checking content warnings if you need to know that kind of stuff

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

@tiawilliamswrites

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotic author, who battles an invisible disease. Shane Hall is an award-winning author known for being a recluse. So when Shane shows up unannounced in NYC at a Black literary event where Eva is at everyone is shocked, but not as much as Eva herself. No one knows Shane and Eva spent a wild week madly in love twenty years earlier, and since then they have been secretly writing to each other in their books. Will this be the chance they have been waiting for to reconnect and rekindle the spark from their past? Or will the traumas that haunt them be too hard to overcome while reliving those seven days in June?

The emotional roller coaster this book put me through😩 I cried, laughed, sweated, screamed! It’s no surprise that I really enjoyed this book because I have only heard great things. Williams tackles themes like mental health, living with chronic illness, single parenthood, family issues/generational trauma, racism/systemic racism (and more!)!! The way she effortlessly sows these topics into this book is amazing and really helps you connect to the characters and identify with them! The romance and banter between Shane and Eva is *chef’s kiss* and her daughter Audre is hilarious. I’m not a huge fan of second chance romance trope but this was done perfectly, and the audiobook was great!!

Read if you love:
