If you're looking for a beautifully written romance that doesn't hold back, Seven Days in June is your next read.
 

☀️ A love story that spans fifteen years featuring an erotica writer and a novelist who wrote each other into their books. It took them seven days during their senior year in high school to fall in love and seven days fifteen years later to reignite it. ☀️

☀️ I don’t really think it’s fair that the blurb calls Shane a novelist and Eva an erotica  writer. They’re both novelists. 

☀️ Technically, this is a second chance romance written in a standard second-chance-romance way (time jumps from before and now highlighting some mysterious reason why they broke up), but this is done so damn beautifully. If you don’t like this trope, try it anyway. 
 

☀️ Content warnings for sexual assault, drug use, and self harm (probably more)

☀️ Can we just talk about the narrator of the audiobook for a second? She’s perfect. I swear she’s part of the reason why I think this book is beautifully written: it’s beautiful to read AND to listen to. 

☀️ Eva suffers from severe migraines and it runs in her family. I also suffer from migraines, though not as intensely as she does. I did feel seen by some of these scenes though because having a migraine is some of the most painful shit I’ve ever experienced and when people read this story, maybe they’ll understand.

☀️ There’s this interview at the end of the book that highlights Tia’s own struggles with chronic migraines and it just adds to the authenticity.

☀️ On a lighter note, Tia Williams brought chapter headings back! And they’re all phrases pulled from the chapters! Love it. 
 

Overall, this is a terrific love story with serious themes and a raw delivery. Highly recommend.

This  book was nothing like I expected. I liked that this book was different from other books I have read in the past, in regard to the romance genre. It delve into topics that I personally think aren’t talked about in other romance books. It was a little spicy, which I liked since some books can be overly sexual. Their love was just wonderful and overall, it was a great book!
