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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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)

Great Summer Read

Loved the story and I especially loved the narration. I’ve followed Tia Williams for years, and loved her blog. I’m so glad that she’s taken her talent to new heights! Dare I say I liked this more than The Perfect Find, but like how they entwined.

Fantastic Contemporary Romance

Great dialogue and relationships in this truly enjoyable new Tia Williams fabulous summer read.

Amazing!

I finished this audiobook in two days. My only regret is not reading the actual book to make it last longer. This book reads like a movie which I appreciated, at first I was confused but then it all started to make sense. I appreciate it all the pop culture references and the depth put into the characters.

Light Listen

I really enjoyed listening. Overall it was a nice, light and airy book. Nothing to heavy or triggering in my opinion. Something nice to enjoy after a long work day.

Good read - Recommended

It was a good read! Not as steamy as I'd thought it would be, but that worked in my favor because that is what held me back from the book prior to buying it. I didn't like the way the 12 year old daughter was portrayed more of an adult than a child - felt like she should've either resembled a child more or she should've been older than 12. However, the book had a good flow and I did come to love both main characters and I found myself rooting for their success.

Eva and Shane

I loved this book. Great story with lots of themes to embrace and meditate on.

Omg amazing

This was SO GOOD!! I loved it so. So. So. Much. And I absolutely loved the narrator. She killed it. Ahhhh I’m going to miss this story now that I finished it. So good!!

The Grown Up Love Story I’ve Been Waiting to Read!

This is an adult love story. Complete with trauma, heartbreak, disappointment, compromise, complexities, struggles, joy, laughter, good conversation and the realization that none of us really know what the f**k is going on.

I absolutely loved it and am devastated that I only have one other book by this author available to me through audible.

Loved it, refreshing & gave me all the feels!

This is a beautiful story of flawed humans, who are colorful, lovable characters just trying to make it in this world. I love it when a story can make me laugh, cry & empathize. The narration was perfect! Worth the money and/or credit!

So Good!!

this book was so good. it reminds me that people deserve to be loved - even in their brokenness.
