Seven Days in June

Description

The instant New York Times bestseller and Reese Witherspoon book club pick is "a heady combination of book love and between-the-sheets love." (Ruth Ware)

"Tia Williams's book is a smart, sexy testament to Black joy, to the well of strength from which women draw, and to tragic romances that mature into second chances. I absolutely loved it."
--JODI PICOULT, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways and Small Great Things

Seven days to fall in love, fifteen years to forget, and seven days to get it all back again...

Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer who is feeling pressed from all sides. Shane Hall is a reclusive, enigmatic, award-winning novelist, who, to everyone's surprise, shows up in New York.

When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. What no one knows is that fifteen years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. While they may be pretending not to know each other, they can't deny their chemistry--or the fact that they've been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years.

Over the next seven days, amidst a steamy Brooklyn summer, Eva and Shane reconnect--but Eva's wary of the man who broke her heart, and wants him out of the city so her life can return to normal. Before Shane disappears though, she needs a few questions answered...

With its keen observations of creative life in America today, as well as the joys and complications of being a mother and a daughter, Seven Daysin June is a hilarious, romantic, and sexy-as-hell story of two writers discovering their second chance at love.

I cant believe I shelved this book 3 times! When I finally picked it up, determined to finish, I could not put in down. I have the physical and eBook so I could read anywhere. I was in the nail shop with the phone propped reading...and crying. I highlighted so much because it was just so on point. I love the relationship Audre and Eva have despite Eva's childhood. I loved seeing the growth in Shane. It was a slow start for me but it was so worth...read more

Sexy and sweet, really enjoyed this one. I love a story with relatable characters and modern references. It was clever, steamy, but also laugh out loud funny. Will defo be reading more from Tia Williams. Also, I love the nod to "The Perfect Find".
