Seven Days in June
"Smart, sexy. I absolutely loved it." --Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper
"Gutting, arousing, and sparklingly witty ... a love story with depth." --Vogue
Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer. Shane Hall is a reclusive, award-winning novelist. When the two meet 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 when they were teenager, Eva and Shane spent one crazy week madly in love. They can pretend they've never met, but they can't deny their chemistry--or the fact that they've been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years.
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 Days in June is a hilarious starcrossed romance.

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Seven Days in June* by Tia Williams is a heartfelt, deeply emotional second-chance romance that explores Black love, trauma, healing, and...
Eva and Shane share a complicated history that began as teenagers, and years later they’re both successful authors whose lives have taken very different paths. When they’re unexpectedly reunited, old feelings, painful memories, and unresolved wounds resurface, forcing them to confront the past they’ve both been trying to outrun.
This novel doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, including mental health, addiction, alcoholism, childhood trauma, and chronic pain, while still delivering humor, chemistry, and heartfelt moments. Tia Williams created characters who felt authentic and flawed, making their journey all the more compelling.
I went into this book expecting a romance, but I got so much more. It was emotional, beautifully written, and completely different from what I anticipated. If you’re looking for a story that balances love with healing and emotional depth, I’d definitely recommend giving this one a read.
