Week 21 Review: The Seven Year Slip

From Goodreads:

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.

An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I loved her previous paranormal romance, and I was looking forward to reading this one! I had such a fantastic time, I loved these two and watching them fall in love, while also dealing with the fact that there's 7 years between them.

Iwan was invited to stay at her aunt's for a time while her aunt was out. But that was 7 years ago, and now that period of time is connecting to the present, where Clem had no idea about the offer-or the reality of the time slip in the apartment.

While this is mainly a story about them falling in love, there's also a story of her grief for her aunt, who was so dear to her, that she didn't see her aunt's pain. And it was a tough story, espcailly since her aunt's love because of this slip, left, and the connection she had to the rest of the story.

All in all, this was a really cute story, I love how they connected, in both timelines, and how they changed and stayed the same, when she's dealing with both his past and present selves. It was just a big, warm, loving hug of a book!

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Ashely Poston!
