Reading The Seven Year Slip is like stepping into a magical and enchanting day. The story has the cozy feel of a Hallmark movie with a dash of whimsical magic that reminded me of Just Like Heaven, especially with its charming apartment that feels like a character in itself. In this apartment, love bends time and reality, creating a heartwarming read that feels just right for autumn.

Poston's narrative explores love and loss in the past and present. It’s a feel-good story, perfect for readers who love romance with a bit of the extraordinary, but I think it didn't dive too deeply into complex emotions or characters. While I enjoyed the plot and the cozy vibes, the book didn’t completely capture my heart. I liked it, but didn’t love it.

However, if you’re looking for a magical escape that feels like sipping hot cocoa on a cool autumn day, The Seven Year Slip is a delightful choice
