The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
4.5
“The love stays. The love always stays.”
Love and grief and the wanting things to go back to the way that they were and the knowing that they never can. Ashley Poston writes about these things with the thread of magical realism so beautifully embroidered throughout that you find yourself thinking “well of course this apartment is magical” and moving on because that’s somehow the least interesting thing in this beautiful and heart-wrenching story. I’ll read anything she writes forever.
