The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

5.0

I absolutely adored this book!! Not only was it a sweet love story, but it was also a beautiful exploration of grief. Clementine has lost her beloved aunt, who left her magical apartment to Clementine. Via the apartment, she meets Iwan who exists seven years in the past.

I haven’t read much magical realism (except for Ashley Poston’s The Dead Romantics). The magic was not over the top and I found myself totally believing in the apartment. Iwan is a new favorite book boyfriend, and I was constantly rooting for their relationship. The characters are quirky in ways that complement each other. I love this quote:

“You are who you are, and you like what you like…You are you, and that’s a lovely person to be” 💕
