Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

5.0

Tia Williams has explained that her idea for this book came from Romeo and Juliet…but what if they hadn’t died at the end? What if they went their separate ways and reconnected as adults?

This is a beautiful second-chance romance that broke my heart and put it back together again. Eva and Shane reconnect at a State of the Black Author event and are forced to remember the week they spent together in high school that broke both of their hearts. These characters in the current time are raw and real and shaped by the traumas of their past. Their love story was deep, and the two were connected as true soulmates. I also adored Eva’s daughter, Audre, who is so insightful and wise. This book will be on my mind for a long time to come!

Seven Days in June covers a wide range of difficult topics, including addiction, self harm, chronic illness, childhood trauma, racial bias, and grief. Please check content warnings and take care of yourself.
