Seven Days in June” offers some interesting reflections on colonialism, blackness, mental illness, emotional abuse and issues related to gender.
I loved the diversity in the cast of characters and the way Tia Williams approached chronic illnesses and described the lengths of pain it put Eve through. However, after discussing it with Rita I concluded this book tried too hard at being woke and the author might have forgotten to adapt the language to the historical context and the millennial generation Eve and Shane are part of.
The ending was a lovely one.
