The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

4.0

---

After her beloved aunt died, Clementine inherited and moved into her late aunt’s apartment. About 6 months after her aunt’s death, Clementine walks into that apartment and sees a strange man standing in the kitchen. It turns out the apartment holds some magical powers that will occasionally take the inhabitants back to that exact date seven years prior. While Iwan is the perfect man - the type of man Clementine can see herself really falling for, he exists 7 years in the past, so how can it ever work?

This is such a beautiful story about grief and love. Even before reading the author’s note, I could tell Ashley Poston really poured her heart into this one. After reading the author’s note it was even more abundantly clear that she really used her own experiences with grief when writing this. The result was simply beautiful.
The romance between Clementine and Ivan was also beautiful. His patience and care. The way they each support each other and encourage the other to pursue their wildest dreams. It was all incredible. Then there was Clementine herself - her growth, her journey of self-discovery, all of it was wonderful. This book is so magical in more than one way.

Thanks to Berkley Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.
