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

Product Information

Some might find their instant connection is odd and unrealistic. But I didn’t both of them were alone and suffering.They found each other and they experienced how it feels like to be with someone who cares about you. How it feels like to not be alone anymore. It was very toxic relationship but I believe that it somehow helped them overcome everything. I loved the fact that they were writing books about each other when they weren’t even together. It was way to communicate with each other and it was adorable 🥹💘 they deserve the best of the best 🫶🏻🫶🏻 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. Destigmatizing male vulnerability is the first step toward rebuilding the absolute ruin that straight men have left the world in.” This book gave all me all the things, every emotion you can feel, it gave. Told in two different timelines, it was unflinchingly raw and honest and at the same time was layered with so many different types of love. Romantic love, parental love, friendship, student/teacher, community, and culture. From generational trauma, to dealing with a chronic debilitating disability to drug abuse and the struggle of single motherhood, this book doesn't shy away from difficult topics. Shane and Eva burrowed themselves into my heart, their stories are so heartbreaking and tragic but at the same time their resilience and strength is so beautiful and inspiring. I loved this book with my whole heart. 💙 Seven Days in Sunny June (UK CD2 & Australian CD single liner notes). Jamiroquai.

The Author Resource Round Table on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_folder/116489?group_id=26989 I love love love Eva and Shane! It’s been a while since I’ve read such strong characters in a love story. I went into this novel believing it would be more of a lighter read but there’s actually quite a bit of depth. We follow their journey from reconnecting as adults to their first meeting as teenagers. 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.This wasn't what I was expecting... It was messier, more complicated and darker than I thought it would be from the cover and synopsis. I'm probably going to be an outlier here, but I didn't love it! I also had no idea how to rate it because although I loved aspects of it, I also had major problems with a lot of parts too. So I sat and wrote a pros and cons list, and they had about the same number of items on each one!🤦‍♀️Hopefully by the end of this review I will have a clearer idea! Overall, this is truly a romantic read that will make you want the TV version to come out ASAP. Verdict This was the perfect blend of sexy, romantic, humorous, and angsty, and I am definitely adding this author to my "authors to stalk" list because it was just that good. 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...

Editorial note: I received a copy of Seven Days in June in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.In other words: This couple couldn't be together by the end of the penultimate chapter, but in the following one, nothing really changed! Eva feels betrayed and abandoned when her lover, Shane leaves. Eva has become a bestselling erotica writer , and Shane is an award-winning novelist now. The two met each other again during a literary event held in Brooklyn, New York , after fifteen years. Plus, I had my own romance with a very young guy, too. I couldn’t make it work in real life, so I wanted it to happen somewhere! I felt like there were a lot of fun places I could go with that generation gap. Jenna’s 40, but she’s in love with a guy who became legal, like, yesterday. What she wants and what he wants are drastically different.
