The two were brief but intense lovers in their troubled teens and meet again as adults for the first time in 15 years. Eva suffers from debilitating pain, Shane is a recovering alcoholic and recluse. Both rule their individual literary fields and yet everyone misunderstands them. Seven Days in June follows two novelists, one who writes vampire porn and one who writes literary masterpieces. Full of black joy, painful truths, broken people, and slayed demons. This is a passionate, painful, beautiful, raw second chance love story. It singed me and gutted me and just when I was broken open, it put me back together filled with hope and peace. The story pulled at memories buried ages ago. ![]() WOOOOOOOIt picked at scabs I long since covered. “Who doesn’t want a connection that burns forever, despite distance, time, and curses?” – Seven Days in June ![]()

It looks just swell, and it’s generally the opposite of a travesty. At the very least, Hill’s Slaughterhouse-Five is sturdy, intelligent, interestingly cast, and often very affecting. Calling the result “flawless,” he effusively added, “I drool and cackle every time I watch that film, because it is so harmonious with what I felt when I wrote the book.” Upping the ante, he said the only other writer who should feel comparably grateful was Margaret Mitchell, author of Gone with the Wind. But Kurt Vonnegut made an exception for George Roy Hill’s 1972 screen version of Slaughterhouse-Five.

Making it harder to vote limits the number of voices that are heard in an election. But changing the rules of a competition in ways designed to disadvantage one side is cheating, even if that side still does well. It is hard to predict what the impact of this ruse will be.

He may look and sound privileged, but Eph is right out of gun-rack, Bible-thumping rural Alabama. As the lie gains traction and nationwide attention-though Lulu remains vague about the meaning behind her project and even recants her accusation-power-hungry school officials are blinded by their political correctness: they insist that Lulu must be in denial and Eph is trying to intimidate her. Having failed to make the cover of an NYC society rag and indignant after Eph rejects her advances, Lulu decides to put on a performance art project that involves her lying about Eph sexually assaulting her.
