The plot
Seven Days in June follows author and single mum, Eva and another author, Shane, with who she had a relationship in the past when they were young. They meet again for the first time since their breakup and there are a lot of unanswered questions that they need to face, mainly their breakup.
The Characters
One thing about Seven Days in June is that not one character is one-dimensional. Each character is complex, with their own demons they had to face. And of course, with multi-dimensional characters, there was great character development, which was heartwarming to see with Eva and Shane.
The Writing Style
Williams has a way with words for sure! I had to go back and reread some sentences to soak in how beautifully she described the emotions of her characters. I also love how the different character perspectives in the chapters weren't just confined to Ava and Shane. For example, there were chapters dedicated to Eva's mum's perspective, which gave a more holistic understanding of everyone involved in Eva and Shane's story.
The only thing that stopped me from giving it 5 stars was the pop culture references! I don't know what it is about them, but I'm just not a fan of pop culture references in books. It wasn't too much at the beginning but I felt like in the last quarter of the book, the pop culture references got turned up to 80%.
