I very well may spend the rest of my life chasing the high from one Ashley Poston book to the next 💛
Grief, the idea that timing is as long important as opportunity, those we love keeping us true to ourselves

This book (both premise and execution) is magical. It was most everything I hoped it would be with an added exploration of grief that I thought was so well done. I wanted a little more time with our couple in the end to really sit in those emotions which is why it doesn’t get a full 5 stars from me, but it was so close.
Update: I can’t stop thinking about this book. I want everyone to read it but can’t give up my copy to anyone else in case I want to reread it. Definitely 5 stars (5/19/2024)

Just for information: I don’t normally tag the cursing content warning but there was one use of profanity in this book that took me by surprise because it came late in the book and felt unnecessary/out of character so it stood out to me….?

Didn’t like this one as much as her previous book, mainly because, once again there were no twist to be surprised by as foreshadowing in Poston's case seems to be more like colorblocking. Also didn’t like the FMC, she keeps waxing on about how well-traveled and experienced she is but never mentions destinations outside the major tourist attractions. She has "eaten her way around the world" but seemingly doesn’t know the first thing about cooking or culinary arts. Also you forgot your ex-boyfriend’s name? What a heartless thing to do. Also the insane amounts of privilege she has and never acknowledges once are just alienating to me.
Overall still a cute story and I loved the idea; I’ll go watch The Lake House now.

3.5 ⭐️ A cute (but very predictable) story about a magical apartment that puts Clementine 7 years into the past. The main reason this lost some stars for me is I found the main character slightly miserable, which I get that her aunt died but I found her grief taking over more of the plot line than I would have liked. Otherwise I loved Iwan, the theme of accepting change, and the amount of 🔥 (present but not too graphic)
