It’s 8pm and I’m having a crisis. This book is incredible and I don’t know if I will be able to just move on after finishing it. With perfect pace and gripping storyline, ‘Seven days in June’ is a book that could only be described as an emotional rollercoaster.

When I started this book, I had no idea what was waiting for me as I went deeper and deeper into this beautiful, heartbreaking story. I was pleasantly surprised, of course, but I didn’t expect it to be such a heavy read. As we learn more about the characters, their first meeting in June all these years ago and how impactful these few days together were on both of their lives, we start to feel connected with them and their struggles as young people who try to heal their pain with addictions and self harm, and as broken adults who no matter how successful, are still haunted by the past. 

Not only ‘Seven days in June’ has a brilliant storyline, but it’s also very well written! The author’s writing just flows, it’s poetic and magical! Tia Williams dialogues convey all the emotions and feelings between characters, within few sentences she’s able to show the relationship, how much the characters mean to each other. Reading any exchange, both verbal or in text, between Shane and Eva, was like drinking the most delicious and creamy hot chocolate on Earth, which occasionally stabs you in the back, but you’re just unable to stop drinking. 

Big thanks to NetGalley for giving me this arc (yes I know I’m late with the review, I’m sorry). This book was amazing and I definitely recommend it to everyone ❤️
