A review by lizziaha
Seven Days in June by Tia Williams
3.0
The most compelling part of this book is Shane’s love for Eva. He’s an addict, and that’s palpable in the book. It’s not a want, but a need. Otherwise, the book wasn’t quite what I expected, and didn’t have the things I look for in a romance. Eva’s relationship with her daughter was not very fleshed out—despite part of Eva’s storyline being her matrilineal line—and their arguments seemed unrealistic, especially on Eva’s side. I also found a few other things unrealistic, including Audrey’s near-expulsion and the timing of Eva’s writing deadline. Also, it felt like this book was attempting to make a political statement without actually committing to it.
