Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

dark emotional funny hopeful reflective sad

3.75

I liked this book up until the 50% mark, it started strong and brought so much depth into the characters as individuals, but as soon as the two characters were on page together, pieces that made the characters (for me) fell too far into the background and all the moments that i thought would matter, didn't?

it just felt like the first and second half were two different books, and i grew frustrated reading it, which makes me sad bc i loved LOVED the first half

look, the writing was fine and improved immensely, HOWEVERR, the choices made for plot & character progression were awful (and very lacking in their best potential, i feel)

a little heads up (if you're like me and jump right over the edge when cliffhangers show up), the third instalment doesn't pick up right where the second one leaves us, we get taken back in time a little bit—and oh boy, how glad we are to have been given more time with damian and lani, i want to reread the whole thing again, from book 1 to book 3, with everything fresh in mind because they are so good and sweet,, i miss them already

i love love love how seamlessly written the bonds of these characters and their friendships are, the found family keeps persevering, and they're still strongly one of my favourites 

THE ENDING WAS SO FFING CUUUUTE

i shall forever wait for the next journey 🥹🫶
