 'A smart, sexy testament to Black joy ... I absolutely loved it' JODI PICOULT

'A vision of life as it truly is: complications and difficulties punctuated by profound joy' RUMAAN ALAM

'A hugely satisfying romance that is electric and alive' KIRKUS


Seven days to fall in love, fifteen years to forget, and seven days to get it all back again...

Eva Mercy is a single mother 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 unexpectedly in New York.

When Shane and Eva meet at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but also 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 Days in June is a hilarious, romantic, and sexy-as-hell story of two writers discovering their second chance at love.

Critic Reviews

A sexy, modern love story to start the summer off right
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
Tia Williams conjures a seductive fantasy - rich friendships, star-crossed lovers, artistic fulfilment. But Williams is writing realism, exploring personal pain, family entanglements, and the negotiation of Black identity in a world defined by whiteness. The result isn't escapism (though the book is a delight) but a vision of life as it truly is: complications and difficulties punctuated by profound joy
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 and its protagonist Eva Mercy is my new favourite pretend writer
Its deliciously witty dialogue, fully realised characters and deft handling of love, race and second-chances will stay with you long after summer
A tour de force . . . A hugely satisfying romance that is electrifying and alive
Grab a fan before reading this one, because it really heats up
One of the most anticipated romance novels of the summer, SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE is a story of love found, lost, and found again. Eva and Shane's story gets steamy, so be sure to read by the water so you can cool off
The hilariously sexy novel is an absolute page turner with every chapter exuding more love, hope and desire as the last
A captivating love story

Second chance at love

The story was gorgeous in itself and I'd highly recommend you read this. The narrator did and excellent job to say the least! Her voice modulation was perfect. She played every character to the T and I may have enjoyed the book a lot more because of her narration.

Captivating and an intensely heartfelt love story!

The writing itself was wonderful, but what really did it for me was the performance. The characters really came to life and I have not felt this drawn into a book in a while. Kudos to the reader.

Fantastic audiobook

The characters are well developed, and the author takes great care to make sure they thrive on their own and aren't "co-dependent". The narrator has done a wonderful job in bringing them alive and add to the reading experience.

Great book

When Eva Mercy saw Shane Hall in the Black Author panel at the Brooklyn Museum, she looked at him in mingled astonishment and anger.
Fifteen years ago, she was a restless, headstrong girl, who liked to astonish him. Delicate curls framed her face and brushed against her neck. Shane liked the charm of her dimples. She made him happy. Though he was an orphan, Shane was very kind and attentive, and a teen girl like Eva felt his kindness and attention. All the gold of his rich nature was poured at her feet.
Her mother had not been particularly steady in the days of Eva's wild youth. Decrepit families imply decrepit wills, decrepit conduct.
Eva only did herself harm. Shane was of real assistance in the merciful dullness of her perception. The law was not tender-hearted. He was banished, in the name of her weakness, from her life.
It was healing to write down her thoughts and feelings, then. Now, it was too late to retrace their steps. Eva didn't know that Shane would rather compromise himself than compromise her. If they had been together he would have helped her to better things.

She was suffering from one of her bad headaches.
