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 liked everything about you. Even the scary parts."
This was a funny, raw, second-chance romance that opened my eyes and crumpled my heart.
Tia Williams' writing is unafraid to confront a painful past for the sake of true healing and happiness. If you want to read on motherhood, on breaking generational curses, on race in America, on chronic illness, on addiction, on the Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known ™️—but all of that with easy humour and grace through characters that feel like genuine people—read this!
