The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
5.0
I absolutely adore the writing style and choice of words in this book. It's beautifully written, and I can't wait to read Ashley Poston's next book. The way she portrays grief, happiness, and self-discovery feels so genuine and heartfelt. This book is a great read, especially if you're struggling to find happiness in your job and your place in life.
The element of magical realism with the time-slipping apartment was fascinating. I appreciated that there wasn't an explanation for the magic; it added to the allure and kept the magic feeling alive. The theme of staying true to yourself and your past while allowing room for growth and change was also beautifully woven into the story.
Lastly, I loved the romance between Iwan and Clementine. Their professions, with him being a chef and her working in publishing, added an enjoyable dimension to the story. I wish there were more chapters at the end!!!
