Loved the writing, loved the story.
Obviously, Eva and Shane are great, but the relationships between Eva<>Audre and Eva<>Cece were maybe even better

Would've rated higher if the last ~15% had been as fleshed out as the rest of the book

Two writers writing to each other in the form of books over the course of years after their 7 brief days together, IS the single most romantic notion I’ve heard of. 

I found myself laughing, tearing up, raging, and holding my breath while speeding through the pages. This is not a surface level romance. This book has layers upon layers like an onion with the most profound yet also hilarious dialogue I’ve come across. The story is told in a non linear fashion, jumping from perspective to perspective and to different timelines disguised as flashbacks. Some perspectives I’m not 100% (like the random Principal lady?) sure were necessary or central to the message of the book, with the almost comical not so subtle foreshadowings following after. 

This is a second chance romance with raw portrait of life. The characters felt so real and tortured. I also love reading mature characters in romance. 7 days in June also is Kinda the perfect epitome of a writer romance. Williams even had the pretentiousness of the literary/fandom world in there and it didn’t fail the hype or expectations. Also what this book did very well was moments: Like when Shane and Eva meet again it REALLY felt like time slowed. That’s an insane effect to have as a reader. 

I’m soooo checking out what else this author has because her writing is addictive!!

I loved Eva, Shane and their relationship in the past and the present. They were such robust and interesting characters that I felt like I really was getting to know real people. The story itself is so emotional, and you just really root for them both throughout the whole book. This also has its funny moments, like I audibly laughed several times which made it even more enjoyable.

I see what the hype is about! What a vivid, moving, emotional story. I am sold on second chance romance.
I appreciate the portrayal of a healthy way the characters try to come back to each other. It really shows growth to say “hey I don’t think I’m okay. I need to heal on my own first.”
