Quercus Seven Days in June

I was constantly bombarded by instagram ads to get this book and I finally caved in and really thought it'd be the summer love story that I could live vicariously through on my holiday but was actually a little disappointed. Great storyline and I love how it's about separated lovers finally coming back together, but the characters, in their younger years actually went through a lot of trauma and the main character suffers from really bad migraines and pain which is hard to look past when she's trying to refind love. Plus I thought the author constantly plugged too many pop culture references in the book for my liking - I want to escape when reading a book, not be reminded of the world I currently live in. I give it three stars!

Seven days in June is a lively, fun, well-written story about two writers who fall in love in seven days and reunite again years later when both their lives have moved on dramatically. It’s interesting to see how they reconnect and find love with each other again. It’s inspiring, hopeful and a mesmerizing love story!

I bought this after seeing it in Reese’s book club and it wasn’t for me. I felt it lacked depth (particularly given the topics it tries to tackle) and often felt like I was reading a script for a rom com. Still an easy read for the beach.

This is written like a book for teenagers but made for adults; I'm not sure how else to explain it. It reminded me a lot of books that I would read in my early and mid teens and it put me off massively as a woman soon to be 30. I ended up returning it.

I really enjoyed this. Read it in a day. I LOVED Eva and Shane's love for each other. The whole story was smart and sexy, the writing highly satisfying. Tia Williams has now been added to my go-to authors list.
