Reviewed by JoanneI want it to be clear how brilliant this writing is! Not just in the way the POVs shift between scenes, but also in the choice of words and the way the story is shaped. The backstory is written so deeply moving and honest. Even the adult characters communicate with such honesty, respect, and humor. Important social and societal issues are addressed without ever feeling overwhelming or preachy.

Reviewed by Emilia LouEins der besten Bücher 2024 für mich. Es war romantisch, es war tragisch, es war bunt, es hat sich nicht zu ernst genommen, es hat seine Charaktere nicht zu ernst genommen, aber die Charaktere waren echt, trotz der kleinen Insta-Love, Audrey ist ein Charakter, von dem man wirklich lernen kann (und dennoch ist sie immer noch zwölf und wirklich niedlich), es hat so viele wichtige, aktuelle Themen angesprochen und die Darstellung der linken, hippen Upper-Class von New York war so interessant zu erkunden. Ich liebe den Humor von Tia Williams, aber das Buch hatte wirklich auch ernste Töne, mit denen gut umgegangen wurde. Ich wollte so sehr, dass es mit den Charakteren etwas wird und sie ihre alten Fehler nicht wiederholen. In a nutshell, *so beautiful.*
Reviewed by Mariana SocorroSeven days in June (Tia Williams) •EN• Charming, funny, intelligent and social-racial conscious. It blew my mind with the romance parts, but mostly with the downsides of the characters’ lives. Our path can indeed be filled with so many ups and downs, and sometimes it can be way down. This love story is beautiful in so many levels, but one aspect I truly admire is how much Tia Williams could write out of the obvious-expected rom rhythm. People here don’t have the hero/bad guy dichotomy, as real human beings don’t. This is my second book of this author and her lovely work comes highly recommended. •PT• Cativante, divertido, inteligente e consciente social-racialmente. Fiquei passada (no bom sentido!) com a parte mais romântica da obra, mas mais ainda com os caminhos desafiadores na vida das personagens. Nossos caminhos podem realmente ser cheios de altos e baixos, muitas vezes o buraco sendo bem fundo mesmo. Essa história de amor é bonita em tantos níveis, mas um aspecto que realmente admiro é o tanto que a Tia Williams consegue fugir do esperado pro gênero. As pessoas aqui não estão divididas na dicotomia bom/mau, assim como na vida real. Esta é minha segunda obra da autora e sua escrita envolvente é sempre bem recomendada.
