A review by bookishdaylight
The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

emotional funny inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

4.5

 “Nothing lasts forever. Not the good things, not the bad. So just find what makes you happy, and do it for as long as you can.”

This felt like a dream—fun, Intense, and all-consuming. It's not just about the coincidence of meeting someone but the realization that everything happens for a reason. This felt like an invisible string connecting the past, future, and present, that no matter what, everything is connected and is just all about perfect timing. 

It is a story about new beginnings, loss, love, and a hint of magical realism. I loved and enjoyed this book and I never felt more inspired and reassured in my life that despite the tragedy and hopelessness, there is always a desired path to take and to choose whether to take it. Life, as hard as it must be, should be lived worthwhile and I loved how this book showed me that. The characters fit the spark that I always desired for myself and still have. Full of comfort and inspiration for what they give to each other.

I wish this to be longer, and needed it to be because of how captivating the storytelling is. But as the magical apartment is, it has its own magic and it chooses when it will happen regardless if we want it or not.
