Sweet, easy read with lots of predictable turns. I enjoyed the time travel piece, it reminded me somewhat of “What the Wind Knows” by Amy Harmon.

I went into the book thinking I wasn’t going to like it and wound up giggling to the pages. This is such a sweet, quick read that is predictable enough you feel in on the plot with characters that keep you around for more. My favorite of all her books.

This dragged on for me. I liked the concept and it kept reminding me of always be maybe and obviously the lake house and I think both of those movies do it better. It wasn’t a long book but any time I took a pause and saw how much was left it was discouraging. It was alright overall but not a favorite

2.5 ⭐️

in the minority again with this one but… here we are with another 2.5 star read. This book had me for like the first 30-40% but once they met in the presence it just lost me. I didn’t feel any chemistry between them, the insta-love took me out because yes while it’s 7 years they really fell in love in like 4 days?? sigh i really wanted to love this one but sadly it’s a no from me

I could NOT put this book down. I read it over two days but really read it in just a few hours. 

I fell in love with the characters and honestly felt like I was getting to know them personally. The main characters really drive the plot. There is a handful of secondary/background characters, but they were placed perfectly and added to the unfolding story. 

Also the character growth is phenomenal. I was rooting for the love story between Iwan and Clementine. This was the type of slow burn romance that I am loving so much. An unlikely love unfolds and truly stands the test of time. Ashley Poston shares how this book is personal to her and hits home for her and I definitely could feel that when reading. She says "every book is a time capsule" and that I felt to my core. This also had a lot of nuggets of truth about love, life and even careers which I am sure I will be thinking about for years to come.
