Bookseller recommendation

“I loved reading this book and seeing Tia's writing translated into Young Adult! I loved Audre in Seven Days in June and it was so interesting reading about familiar characters but in a completely new tone than before. Audre is such an ambitious character and I loved reading about her aspirations and seeing how outside pressures fed into that. I loved the character growth we saw from both Audre and Bash and how they encouraged and uplifted one another. I loved their immediate chemistry! The tattoo scene!!! I also loved the friendship between Audre and Reshma and how much they bickered and got on eachothers nerves but ultimately had each others back. There were so many layers to this book and I loved how it explored the complexities of different relationships. This was such a fun, fascinating, and inspiring read. ”

Bookseller recommendation

“YA companion novel to Tia Williams’ hit, Seven Days in June? I was sold when I heard the idea for this book— then I read it, and immediately pivoted to doing the selling. I LOVED the voice here, it was so immensely readable and I appreciated how Tia didn’t condescend to young adult readers by covering the types of issues they actually face. All of this wrapped up in a romance? Sheer perfection. The dually-narrated audio with sound effects solidifies this as one of my favorite audiobooks of the year.”

Summary
About the author

#36 in Bestselling YA Fiction Audiobooks

Scorching-hot summer. Scorching-hot chemistry. Two teens can’t forget they’re just friends in this sweet, funny, electrifying romance from New York Times bestselling author Tia Williams. Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Nicola Yoon.

MEET AUDRE. Junior class president. Debate team captain. Unofficial student therapist. Desperately in need of a good time.

MEET BASH. Mysterious new senior. Everybody’s crush. Tall, floppy, great taste in jewelry. King of having a good time.

It’s the last day of school at Cheshire Prep, Brooklyn’s elite academy—and Audre Mercy-Moore’s life is a mess. Her dad cancelled her annual summer visit to his Malibu beach house. Now? She’s stuck in a claustrophobic apartment with her mom, stepdad, and one-year-old sister (aka the Goblin Baby).

Under these conditions, she’ll never finish writing her self-help book—ie, the key to winning over Stanford’s admissions board.

Cut to Bash Henry! Audre hires him to be her “fun consultant.” His job? To help her complete the Experience Challenge—her list of five wild dares designed to give her juicy book material. She’ll get inspo; he’ll get paid. Everybody wins.

He isn’t boyfriend material. And she’s not looking for one. Can they stay professional despite their obvious connection?

Fun fact: Audre Mercy-Moore first appeared in the New York Times bestseller Seven Days in June and now stars in her own story!
