Description

A REESE WITHERSPOON BOOK CLUB PICK!

“Tia Williams’ 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 NYT best-selling author of The Book of Two Ways and Small Great Things)

Seven days to fall in love, 15 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 15 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 Days in June is a hilarious, romantic, and sexy‑as‑hell story of two writers discovering their second chance at love.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“If this cover doesn't raise your temperature a few degrees, the story will. Grab a fan before reading this one, because it really heats up.” (Good Housekeeping)

"I can always rely on Tia Williams for a novel with a delicious plot, compelling characters, and all of the pop cultural references my heart desires. Seven Days In June is nothing short of a good time. It's funny, thoughtful in both a real and thotty way, and its protagonist Eva Mercy may not know it, but she is my new favorite pretend writer." (Michael Arceneaux, New York Times best-selling author of I Can't Date Jesus and I Don't Want to Die Poor)

"Williams’ novel is a tour de force, capturing Eva’s experience as part of the Black literati in Brooklyn, her urge to hide generational trauma from her daughter while still celebrating their ancestors, and the ways in which fate brings people together. The structure of the novel is complex but ultimately rewarding and provides a portrait of a richly layered world. A hugely satisfying romance that is electrifying and alive." (Kirkus)

One of the few who did not enjoy this book

I actually skipped over 3 hours of the book and listened to the last hour. It did not hold my attention and it felt like a collection of cultural references rather than a story. I am not young enough or hip enough to enjoy this.

More than a romance

So much more than just a romance novel! A combination of modern lingo, real world issues, and accurate representation of minorities all mixed into a beautiful love story. This was a joy to listen to.

A pleasure to read/listen to

Beautiful prose, with colourful, and vivid imagery. Ms Williams paints us a window into a world very few of us actually get to see into. I felt what the characters felt, their indignations, and their triumphs, frustrations and moments of tenderness. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at the pretentiousness of a certain mansplaining character, and smile at the precocious nature of 12 year old Audrey. Don’t let me forget the chemistry between Eva and Shane! I had to stop what I was doing to close my eyes and fan myself! Honestly, with love scenes like that, the average man could almost never… stack up.., all in all, I found Ms Williams writing to be sublime! (I mean, she’s even inspired me to use words like sublime! Lol)

The narration was beautifully done. Characters were easy to distinguish, and the pace was modulated perfectly for each scene. Ms Lee took her time deliciously in all the right moments, and really connected with each character, making their personalities stand out so I felt as though I was there, having these conversations and in the minds of each person.

It’s a wonderful book, one that I plan on listening to again, and will be buying a hard copy to keep on my bookshelf at home as well.

Disappointed

Unfortunately this book just didn’t grab my interest. I listened for 4 hours trying to give it a chance but the story was too slow and not progressing.

Meh

It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either. The story and narration were just "meh". I found myself tuning out quite a bit with this story. It didn't really dive into complex issues it had the potential to. I wouldn't have necessarily returned this book, but I probably won't buy another book by this author either.

Excellent. Not a traditional Chick Lit

Novel about chronic pain, writing, childhood trauma, rekindled love (or a hesitant love that is now stepping away from the memories of a short drug impacted teen passion to a mature HFN almost two decades later). Fabulous flawed protagonists you can really get behind.

This was definitely NOT a meet cute, or traditional chick lit. Definitely a kunstlerroman.

In between chuckling aloud there were times it was also so sad, so tense and momentarily horrifying.

Narration was good.

Page turner.

Stylish, hip and funny with a narrator at the top of her game. Highly recommended.
