A review by raes_library
Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

3.0

i'm honestly not sure how to summarize my feelings on this book because i genuinely enjoyed 85% of it but the part i didn't enjoy made me reflect and feel differently about the parts i thought i did. the romance in this book is wonderful, the banter is great and i had a reason to root for the characters to be together, which i find is something most other romance books lack for me. this book does, however, contains a lot of sensitive and potentially triggering content. at first i thought that it was handled well and not in a sort of "trauma for trauma's sake" kind of way, but one of the plot points towards the end of the book made me rethink how i felt about the whole story. the end really pulled me out of my suspension of disbelief and kind of ruined what the rest of the book had done for me. i do think the writing was good and i loved how so much of this book celebrated black literature and i will definitely be picking up tia williams' next book. this one just didn't fully hit the mark for me, unfortunately!
