“With every step she took, the years melted away. Shane was hurtling backward into his teenage self, before the books, the success, the travel. Back in the dark ages, when his loneliness was like quicksand, when he’d ruin himself to make it stop—and the only bright spot in all of this was loving a beautiful girl with demons ferocious enough to slay his own.
For seven days, a million Junes ago.”

I am currently tearing up at the thought of this book. I loved it. There was a point towards the end where I was reducing the rating to 4 or maybe 3.5 stars (it slowed down a bit in pace and the switches in points of view became slightly confusing) but overall the story was amazing so a 5 star rating and adding to my favourites list.
