The Seven Year Slip

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ 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 novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.
A New York Public Library Best Book of 2023
"A gorgeous love story from one of the finest romance writers out there."—Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After
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: 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.

What a sweet and wonderful book! I loved the magical realism element in this book. Even though it was incredibly sweet, it dealt with some heavier topics as well such as grief, and others I donât want to mention for fear of spoilers. Check your trigger warnings :)
I would highly recommend this book and canât wait to read more from this author!

It was a very cute book. I was not prepared the grief that was in this book. It was quite sad and hit me in a way I wasn't prepared for. Definitely not as light as I thought it would be, but the romance evened it out. I would recommend this.
It was good overall and a different story plot but a little hard to get into and frustrating at times. But stuck with it and glad.
What a snooze fest. I skimmed most of this book and didnât miss much after listening to a podcast review.
Skip this one â there are much better magical realism and romance books out there.

It wasnât awful, it was cute and fun but at some point it got annoying⦠with that said, it is a very cheesy rom com book so if thats what you need in your life, then this is the book for youâ¦.
