I absolutely loved this book.
Often when you love a book so much (The Dead Romantics), you have that fear that the next book by the same author won’t have that same magic as the last.
I had nothing to worry about!!! I adored the setting and the characters and the magic of it all. The serendipity and the way the story loops back on itself so neatly and satisfyingly.
I loved that as well as love/romance, it’s a story about time, aging, coming of self, adventure, friendship, choosing yourself and mental health.
I can’t wait to see what Poston writes next and I’m sad I’ve already finished this!

Thank you Berkley and NetGalley for the eARC of The Seven Year Slip. Gosh, I loved it so much. A tender and honest novel that gives equal weight to (1) a time-travel love story built on mutual encouragement and (2) the process of grieving losing a loved one to suicide. Poston balances these two elements with grace, humor, and just the right amount of sugary sweet romance. The food discussions will make you salivate, the side characters are a delight, and Iwan is the ultimate book boyfriend: a soft-hearted, tattooed hunk who loves to cook!
