The Seven Year Slip
"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 read this book due to the hype and it did not disappoint. While at first I found the "magic" a bit farfetched, I really grew to enjoy those chapters more than any other (except maybe the last couple).
Clementine and Iwan have great chemistry throughout the entire book, even when they finally cross paths again in the present. Clementine and her friends Fiona and Drew also had a really great dynamic that made the book fun to read.
I enjoyed the multiple twists of how everything ended up being connected, although, I figured out the first twist pretty instantly. The rest unfolded beautifully.
Without giving too much away, this book had the perfect amount of unbelievable in it. Would definitely read again.

I didn't like this quite as much as The Dead Romantics, but it's still a great love story with a little supernatural twist. I found some aspects a bit too repetitive, and I didn't connect with Clementine as much as I would have liked. I think I was a little disappointed that she was going on stereotypical lead female character journey of "there's more to life than your career" but this was a tiny bit of a different approach to it. Those are all my negatives though, overall I enjoyed it.
