(version FR ci-dessous)

It was an interesting story, I devoured this novel! It's a feel-good book even though it deals with difficult subjects (grief).
I love stories with time travel. I really enjoyed this one.
Both characters were very well written. I don't read many MF romance novels anymore, as I often find the female characters annoying, but that wasn't the case here.
It was poetic and made me want to go back to New York...

SPOILERS

-0.5 because in the end they don't see each other much in the past (3 or 4 times) but it has a big impact on their lives, and because there's no chapter where she sees her aunt again, which I was waiting for throughout the book...

4.5⭐

Histoire originale, j'ai dévoré ce roman ! C'est un livre feel good même s'il traite de sujets difficiles (deuil).
J'adore les histoires avec des saut dans le temps. Je me suis régalée ici.
Les personnages étaient tous les deux très bien. Je ne lis plus beaucoup de MF, souvent les filles m'énervent de par leur comportement mais ici pas du tout.
C'etait poétique et ça donne envie de retourner à New York...

SPOILERS

-0.5 car finalement ils ne se voient pas beaucoup dans le passé (3 où 4x) alors que ces rencontres ont été très importantes dans leur vie et parce qu'on a pas le chapitre ou elle revoit sa tante et moi j'attendais ça tout au long du livre...

I've loved Ashley Poston for a long time but this might just be my favorite of her books yet. It was a delightful little romance and, while I was able to figure out most of the main "mysteries" pretty quickly, there were still a few plot things that managed to surprise me. I loved the magical realism of the apartment and the main leads had great chemistry - although I didn't quite feel like their relationship would have progressed as quickly as it did in the book.

I was also really sad that we didn't get to see them explain their situation to their friends. Clementine is a unique enough name that Iwan's friends are definitely going to realize she's the same girl. But Clementine's friends will wonder why she hadn't told them about a guy she dated seven years ago. Something will have to be explained at some point and it would have been a really fun conversation to witness as readers.
