I don't like how the child is almost like the singular plot device for the entire emotional story. let audre lead the way. The narrative voice sounds like a fashion magazine editor trying to convince you they are in fact deep. I really wanted to like this.

The writing in this second chance romance is exquisite. I love reading about writers, and this romance is about two writers, so that was perfect. This was a 5 star prediction and I'm so happy that it turned out to be exactly what I wanted. THE CHEMISTRY between these two leads....it was everything. TO ADD ONTO THAT: i loved the representation in here for invisible disabilities / chronic pain. the main character is a migraine sufferer and it impacts her day to day so much and i found that extremely relatable.

Thanks to Grand Central Publishing for the free copy of this book.

 - I'm discovering that I love a second-chance romance, especially when it's as electric as SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE. Eva and Shane are a couple for the history books. Their personalities and their chemistry just fly off the page.
- I loved how Eva's chronic migraines figured into this book, and how over the course of the story she realizes not only that she deserves to be supported and not seen as a burden, but also that professionally speaking, she shouldn't have to hide when she's not feeling well.
- Also, Eva's daughter Audre was a riot. Amid all the heavy stuff in this book, it was also hilarious and a joy to read.
