Seven Days in June…more like One Day in June. I read Tia Williams' novel in one day and loved every page. The prose is phenomenal, the character development is astounding, and that heated tension is fire. Erotica writer The book revolves around two characters: Eva Mery, an erotica writer, and Shane Hall, a prolific award-winning literary author. While their love story that occurred 15 years ago was short, it was one for the ages. In present-day New York City, Eva and Shane cross paths again and find that their connection is still ever-present. 

 

Eva and Shane’s complicated, yet beautiful love is real and heartbreaking. I really appreciated the author’s decision to highlight Eva’s chronic, invisible illness, the celebration of Black History, and motherhood. Yes, Seven Days in June is a love story, but it also is a story of hardship, pain, and community. One billion stars for Williams' novel. Put this on your list immediately!
