Summary
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.

This book was chosen for the book club I am in, and while it is not my favourite genre, I really did enjoy it. I related a lot to the characters, especially as I have mental health history as well as chronic migraines (which the author of the book also gets, which is why she included it). Some of it was a bit unrealistic but I thought overall it was still a great read.

Tia Williams delivers a deeply emotional, witty, and heartfelt romance in Seven Days in June, a story that’s as much about second chances and healing as it is about passion and undeniable chemistry.The novel follows Eva Mercy, a single mother and bestselling erotica writer, who unexpectedly reconnects with Shane Hall, a reclusive award-winning literary author, at a New York City literary event. What the public doesn’t know is that Eva and Shane share a scorching, complicated past: an intense week of love and pain as teenagers that left lasting marks on both of them.Williams masterfully interweaves past and present, revealing their teenage trauma while exploring how unresolved emotions can shape adult lives. The chemistry between Eva and Shane is electric, but the story’s strength lies in how it handles themes of chronic illness, addiction, motherhood, Black identity, and the complexity of love—both romantic and self-love.Eva is a smart, resilient heroine with sharp humor and vulnerability, while Shane is a wounded yet tender man trying to redeem his past. Their relationship feels authentic, messy, and real.

Absolutely loved this book. Two misfits finding, losing and finding each other again. The narrator’s voice was perfect.
