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.

This was a cute, easy read but I couldn’t get past the insta love. I don’t know how it’s possible to fall in love with a stranger over the course of two or three separate days. And not only that but remain in love for seven years waiting for them?! I think about who I was seven years ago and I can’t imagine that after even a year I would still be pining over someone I met and hadn’t seen since. Besides that, the magic part of it was cute and didn’t overcomplicate the story. I found Clementine’s insistence that she knew James/Iwan better than he knew himself in the present pretty annoying but at least she had a realization that *gasp* people can change! That whole internal plotline felt a bit juvenile for someone as intelligent and accomplished as she is but at least she got there in the end. Overall this was a fluffy lighthearted romance (with the exception of some discussions of grief) and an enjoyable beach read!
