The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

5.0

This is a must read if you enjoy The Dead Romantics or if you enjoy the movie The Lake House starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. I typically don’t enjoy magical realism but Poston writes it in such a fantastic way that I immediately fall in love with it. Her characters, especially the male leads, are some of my all-time favorite characters. I thought the Dead Romantics was more of a contemporary story with romantic elements, but The Seven Year Slip is a straight up romance. I loved Clementine’s aunt too. She felt like such a good role model and I loved the memories and stories about her. There’s so many life lessons, great quotes, good descriptions that everything felt so beautifully written and carefully crafted. I highly recommend you have some lemon pie on hand when you read this.
