Before Shane disappears though, she needs a few questions answered. 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. 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. What no one knows is that 15 years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. 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.

Ah, to be a teen again!īut back to Seven Days in June. We were so into it that we lined up in-store to get our hands on the latest release, and we even made t-shirts with “Team Edward” or “Team Jacob” on them to go see the movies. The fandom around Eva’s books in the story brought me back to my own teen years reading the “Twilight” series with my friends. I particularly loved that the protagonist Eva was a “vampire erotica” author who based her work on her teen love, Shane. Everything from the characters to the complicated relationships to the romance was beautiful. Luckily, I managed to squeeze in this beautiful book about two writers who fell in love as teens and reconnect again 15 years later. I didn’t expect my summer to be so busy, but here we are in mid-August already.
