Seven Days in June: the instant New York Times bestseller and Reese's Book Club pick

Product Information

Life is messy and unpredictable. What do you do when the universe hands you a love that’s on-paper absurd, but so, so delicious? Do you run with it, or walk away? I I didn’t have money for therapy at the time, so I worked out my personal love struggle through Jenna and Eric!

May was a bit of a bust for me reading wise other than The Last Thing He Told Me. I can tell many books published this year were written during the pandemic and they just have a bit of a down vibe. But Seven Days in June broke that trend—it’s compelling, romantic and complicated, with some humor but also tough scenes. It’s not simply a love story. But about survival and accepting who you truly are—flaws included. What’s the Book About The only reason I removed half a star is that this romance is somewhat political. I'm not a political person, so I didn't enjoy those aspects, but overall - I think I'd recommend it to any of my fellow late twenties-and-up romance lovers! (I'm not sure I would have been emotionally mature enough to read/appreciate this in my early twenties? However, I do think I would have felt the impact. I'm not saying don't read it as a younger person. I'm saying make sure to read it again when you're older! 🖤)

I love when romance books have all the typical romance elements but don't feel tropey or formulaic. It took me some time to finish this book but I'm currently in quite a serious reading slump so finishing (and enjoying) anything feels like an achievement. After 7 days, could there be a chance to rekindle what they had and move on together from the past? Eva Mercy is a single mom to 12 year old Audre and the author of an erotic vampire book series. At a literary event in New York City, she runs into award-winning author Shane Hall, who typically keeps a low profile. They initially pretend not to know each other, but their chemistry is evident and rumors in the writing community begin to swirl.

There is so much I am not saying bc this book touched on so many discussion worthy topics but then this review would be obnoxiously long so I will just leave you with some other quotes that I loved and some advice to do yourself a favor and read this book one day if you haven't already. 💙 He'd always appreciated families from a distance, looked at them like they were a fascinating experiment: all that intimacy and domesticity couldn't have been more foreign.' - There is nothing more heart-wrenching for me than lonely abandoned children. I can't handle it. I wrote my books like you were the only one who'd ever read them, my books did what I couldn't." "Talk to you, and when I read yours, I knew you were reading mine." Audre, my protagonist’s 12-year-old daughter. She’s precocious and wise beyond her years, and often she’s smarter than every grown-up in the room. It was so much fun to write her, primarily because she was based on my own precious tween. I loved writing the dialogue between Eva and Audre, because I took so much from my real-life single-mom experiences with my daughter. So the story here is Eva and Shane met as mentioned directly above and then 15 years went by without them ever speaking. It’s hinted that he “broke a promise” which, of course, takes an eternity to ever get around to disclosing and winds up being a trope contained in approximately 112% of all romance novels that could have been wrapped up had the two main characters taken Khalid’s sage advice of . . . .Fifteen years ago in high school, Eva and Shane had a euphoric week together that left them forever changed. Since then, they've each gone on to become best-selling authors, working out their heartbreak through their respective novels. When a chance encounter gives them another seven days together, they know they must give this second chance their all to see where it could lead. Brooklynite 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 literary author who, to everyone's surprise, shows up in New York. P.S. I absolutely adored the mention of what might be my favorite Mariah Carey album ( Charmbracelet), but TW: There is also a snarky comment made about her later on (that I may have or have may not secretly laughed at 😡🤣). 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...

Draped in a long-sleeve paisley maxidress plunging to her navel (vintage Dior) and shoulder-skimming beaded earrings (Nairobi street market) …It never ends, does it? Loving you never ends. Whether you’re Genevieve or Eva. Whether I lose you for years or wake up to your face every morning. I love you. You’re my home. And I want you forever.” I couldn’t get enough of their reconnection as adults. I so enjoyed how they both were writing to each other in their successful novels. Both both are a crossroads when it comes to their writing. While Eva is ready to write a more serious book inspired by her family’s past, Shane is now sober and has never written a book without a drink. Eva-Eva is one of the strongest fmc's I think I have ever read. Dealing with an absolutely devastatingly painful disability that she endures with so much grace she is determined to provide the best life that she never had for her daughter Audre. Putting a tragic and volatile childhood behind her full of drug abuse, self harm, suicidal thoughts and instability, she remakes herself but she never forgets the one person who really SAW her and stole her heart. Eva and Shane find each other at a time when they are both drowning in so much pain. I found their story to be so touching and also loved how they were anchors for each other. The generational trauma and the relationship with her mother was so upsetting but also so real and my heart squeezed for Eva the entire time. In this case, I expected a kind of literary romance situation (and you can accuse me of judging a book by its cover, and you might be right!), but it is not what I got. The Seven Days in June’s plot sometimes makes you smile and sometimes cry. The message of this book is that people with disabilities and illnesses can also find love and happiness. The author's storytelling ability is commendable. Start enjoying how it feels in you. Read and Edit Seven Days in June PDF
