Title: The Seven Year Slip

Author: Ashley Postin

Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.

So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: stay busy, work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it.

And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again.

Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future.

Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed.

After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing.

I’ve found my first best book of 24!

Clementine inherits her aunts apartment but it has a secret. The secret for Clementine is Iwan and she falls and falls hard. But he exists 7 years in the past……

Oh this book was a delicious ache, how the author writes and captures grief is heartwrenchingly good and how she builds everything up to a crescendo and threads in easter eggs that left me with my jaw hanging, amazing!

Clementine and Iwan’s banter was top notch and, talking of Iwan, he’s made his way onto my bbf list – chefs are HOT!

This was a serving of second chance romance with a dash of magical realism!
