A review by laurentalevski
Seven Days in June by Tia Williams
5.0
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Obsessed. There's nothing I would change because it was perfection (must read + reread)
"Do me a favour, stop writing about me"
"You first"s
Eva Mercy, a single mom and bestselling erotica writer from Brooklyn, finds herself overwhelmed. Shane Hall, a reclusive literary figure, unexpectedly appears in New York. Their reunion at a literary event reignites their past romance, captivating New York's Black literary scene. Unknown to others, they shared a passionate week twenty years ago and have been secretly exchanging messages in their books since. As they reconnect over seven steamy days in Brooklyn, Eva struggles with trust issues from Shane's past betrayal.
This book balances humor, warmth, and profound sensuality, exploring themes of motherlessness and the complexities of love. There really isn't much more to say other than this book is perfection. I have never read a book so beautiful and emotional. While there is so much sadness and tragedy in this book you are filled with humour and love while being healed all at the same time. This is honestly my perfect comfort read and books like this really highlight to me why 90% of the time I am not a dark romance reader.
Tropes: second chance, single mother,
Triggers: self harm, sexual assault of a minor, chronic pain (migraines), drug/alcohol abuse, attempted suicide, suicidal thoughts, neglect
