"A gorgeous love story from one of the finest romance writers out there." --Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After
A New York Public Library Best Book of 2023 A Most Anticipated Book by Entertainment Weekly ∙ Harper's Bazaar ∙ PopSugar ∙ Real Simple ∙ BookRiot ∙ and more! 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. 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.

I think what charmed me the most and the reason I put this book forward was the idea that it offered the possibility that there is more to this world than what we perceive, believe or see as reasonable and It wasn't too convoluted, just a good story.
Poston creates a time travelling apartment so matter of factly that it is not difficult to believe it could actually happen.
Clementine kept the time shift from being confusion by not acknowledging it. Although we do get glimpses of and enjoyed Iwan's perspective and confusion.
The romance parts were good, not over done but enough that you really felt the connection between the characters.

Clementine enjoyed a wonderful relationship with her eccentric aunt. I would love to have joined them on their holiday adventures to the 43 different countries they had visited together! After the loss of her aunt, Clementine struggled to find happiness and any fulfillment in her life. She 'used her work as a shield', and focussed on her career, losing herself and her relationships to her grief.
I was intrigued and rather skeptical of the magical apartment that Clementine had inherited from her Aunt. Once I allowed myself to just go with it, I became hooked with the possibility of the plot and just had to to keep reading. Although they seem to barely know each other, the handsome aspiring chef, Iwan and Clementine seem to have such a deep and powerful connection. I enjoyed this heart warming story about second chances and quirkiness of timing but was hoping for a different ending.
