Seven Days in June by Tia Williams
2.5
I was convinced I was going to love this one and it was just alright I guess. I definitely don't understand the hype for this one.
📖 This follows Eva and Shane as teenagers they spent one drug filled week together and were apparently in love. 15 years ago by before they see each other again and sparks fly.
✨ Review ✨
Firstly what I did love about this was that our FMC has a chronic migraine condition. To see representation for an invisible illness was fantastic. I thought it was really well done.
However that is the only thing I liked.
For a start I didn't believe this romance at all. It did nothing for me. The characters are extremely flat and card board cutouts. There voices and internal monologues felt very interchangeable.
I also don't believe they loved eachother in anyway. What they did was form a trauma bond and this book just lacked the depth and complexity necessary to carry the story.
It was like reading a shopping list of traumatic things happening and at no point did it pause to explore any of it.
I just don't see what everyone else is seeing is this book.
