A review by dejreads
Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

5.0

I challenged myself to read one book a month this year. This book was just so amazing. This is the first book of Tia Williams I have read and I just want to say that this probably going to my favorite book of hers until I read the others. Although, the topics involved in the book can be a bit triggering for some people—you can see how these triggering things that has happened between Shane and Eva helps them grow as a character. One of the things that stuck to me in this book was the relationship between Eva and her mother. That relationship had me completely astonished and shocked. We never talk about the relationships between moms and daughters, especially the toxic ones. It broke my heart reading about what Ava’s mom did because for a lot of moms they do not want to see their daughters do better than what they had to offer when raising their daughters.

“Genevieve was a child. She hadn't even lived yet. Why did she get that kind of adoration, when Lizette had never experienced it? It wasn't the order of things. It wasn't fair.”


That quote sat with many through so many because I know in this world beyond fiction books that there are moms out there like Ava’s. There are moms who have children actually being the moms. There are moms who will choose loving a mom before ensuring their child’s safety.

Anyway, this book was just so damn good. I would recommend to anyone that don’t mind the triggering things that are mentioned in the book.
