A delicious read! I was a bit skeptical of this book at first and almost didn’t read it. I am so glad that I did! The writing is beautiful and the story truly takes you into another world. There are twists and turns and none of them are what you expect and it is beautiful. A beautiful story about love, life and grief. I’d recommend to anyone.

This one is tricky for me. The book had the potential to be wonderful but it fell short for me, though it had its moments. It was cute, it was heartfelt, and any complaints I have are only because I know this book could have been just that much better.
A few issues:
A few issues:
- Clementine and Iwan's convos often read as trying-too-hard-to-be-banter rather than actually being cute and witty. I much preferred when they had real discussioss with each other.
- Drew and Fiona felt like afterthoughts rather than full characters in their own right.
- There were some descriptions and turns of phrase that came up a few times. I think they were intended to be callbacks to previous scenes, but instead felt clunky and repetitive, like the author had forgotten she'd already used that phrasing before.
- I didn't like how much Clementine used her job as her identity. Her job doesn't have to define her, but she acts like it's this huge, groundbreaking thing to want change.
Lastly, I'm not big on time travel stories, but that's a me thing. The plot made sense of the time travel aspect pretty well, all things considered.

One of my favourite romances. Such an interesting concept - switching timelines is usually confusing, but in this story it is effortless. I also appreciated that it wasn’t just a romance as there were mentions of more serious topics, such as grief and growing up. Cannot recommend Ashley Poston’s writing enough.
