”How can I say I’m a plugged-in cultural force, when I’m surrounded by so much useless affluence?”
Seven Days in June is a gritty yet humorous second-chance romance between Eva Mercy and Shane Hall, two people with damaged pasts. The plot uses flashbacks and alternating POVs to explore the complicated relationship between these two damaged souls.
Lots of contemporary topics are explored in this book including family, friendship, addiction, parenthood and the details of life as a famous author. Even though there are some very weighty topics the author manages to keep a fairly light tone especially with Eva’s relationship with her extremely precocious daughter.
Eva and Shane are both well-known writers and cross paths after many years apart. I loved their reunion! Eva had believed they’d be together forever so she still has very deep feelings for Shane.
”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.”
Eva and Shane must now explore whether they can make things work this time. Both of them have their own issues and I did like how the author created a believable ending for these characters. I thought Eva’s daughter Audre was not a completely realistic tween and acted more like a 21 year old than a young girl.
I enjoyed Tia Williams’ lively writing style so definitely pick this one up to see what all the buzz is about!
