They spend a week together as teens and then become authors and write to/about each other ever since. The premise is darling. The book didn’t quite deliver on being darling. It was still a really good book. Challenging, sometimes dark, very realistic characters. Read it! But not if you’re looking for something charming.

"Girls are given the weight of the world, but nowhere to put it down. The power and magic born in that struggle? It’s so terrifying to men that we invented reasons to burn y’all at the stake, just to keep our dicks hard."
 

Seven Days In June is about two writers. They had an intense week-long relationship in their teens, and have been using each other as muses for their writing ever since. 

I absolutely loved this book. I thought it was written beautifully and I truly felt the intensity of their relationship. I really liked how the story was revealed one a day at a time, flicking between past and present.

It also raised some interesting topics such as disability, generational trauma, positive co-parenting, and online fan culture. 

The only reason that this wasn't a 5* for me was just because I felt the ending was a little rushed. Minor spoilers:
I wish we had a bigger reconciliation for Eva and Shane than just the epilogue. It felt a bit too fast. 


I'd really recommend this one, but maybe check out content warnings first. 

 "I had to teach myself how to breathe again, in a world without you in it."

Absolutely love this author. The timeline and narrator jumping never felt confusing at ALL. It just made the story more vibrant and detailed.

loved the characters, especially as an audiobook. at times felt like im being told their feelings, experiences, mindsets, instead of describing those things which took me out of the scene alot
