The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
5.0
this book healed something in me i didn’t know needed healing.
i don’t know what it was but it simply hit me in a way that left me sobbing multiple times. literal tears streaming down my face. it really hit a really deep place in me. there’s multiple moments and quotes that will remain tucked into a little tiny place in my heart forever.
this was such a unique concept that was so well-done. when i thought i had finally figured out the logistics of it all and figured everything out, another plot-twist would come and it would just get better and better and more and more complex.
grief was dealt in such a deeply healing way. and the friendships in this book played such an important role and some of the friendship moments and the way the plot revolved around them really elevated the book to me. the way the characters were portrayed and the types of people they represented and the struggles they went through were so important and so well-developed and it really resonated with me.
something in clementine and iwan’s relationship felt so special and they had me shedding tears so many times. just so unbelievably pure and i simply can’t. the way clementine loved iwan and spoke and thought of him and the way iwan cared so deeply for clementine since the very first moment he met her? just the concept of their relationship as a whole had me gagged like i don’t even know what to say, you truly have to read it for yourself cause the way their timelines kept blending into each other like IM SORRY THE TAXI GUY REVEAL HAD ME ON THE FLOOR!!!!!
even tho the only magical aspect of this book was the apartment, everything about this felt so magical to me. i don’t know if it was the writing but it all felt so magical and mystical and i feel a personal attachment to those pigeons cause i know they were behind it all!!!!!!
the plot was so well flushed and the way the entire story developed was so beautiful and i loved it so much and it’ll definitely stay with me for a long time. (i do wish we had gotten iwan’s pov sometimes but i digress)
