The Seven Year Slip

“ You’re chasing the moon”“Whatever you say, Lemon”The seven-year-old slip by Ashley Poston is my first book by her. Man! She is so magical in writing ❤️, I couldn’t put it down once I started; it was a magical heaven to read this book. I couldn’t believe it. That I'm clearly rooting for romantic books. Still, I'm not for smut romance nor dark romance. Anytime in for magical realism right now. I cried last night while finishing this book at exactly 12 am; that’s today officially. I am not a wide awake person to late nights, but this one was so heartfelt yet heartbreaking. Clementine West, who is working at Strauss & Adder as a publicist in book marketing. Along with her, Drew and Fiona are her friends who work together. Clementine stays in her aunt's apartment. She and her aunt travel every summer around the world to enjoy themselves. Her aunt was so dear to her. She is someone who always makes Clementine believe in magical things with her stories. Later on, that year in the new year, she received a call from her mother that her aunt is no more. She was the only person who missed her very dearly. Iwan, a chef who is very famous in the olive branch. He lives in the past, 7 years from the present. He was staying in Clementine’s aunt's apartment when she returned from the summer. She stumbled to see the stranger in her aunt's apartment. He is such a green forest man. Ufff!!! The man I craved for in real life 😫😫😫😫. The way he calls Clementine by the sweet name "Lemon." That’s where I fell for him. The author has magic in her writing to get deeply into the world of magic realism, time travel, and not to forget about grief. I'm not spilling many beans. Go read if you love magical realism. This will be my favorite read from this month.“The love stays.The love always stays, and so do we.”

"That was love, wasn't it? It wasn't just a quick drop—it was falling, over and over again, for your person. It was falling as they became new people. It was learning how to exist with every new breath. It was uncertain and undeniably hard, and it wasn't something you could plan for.Love was an invitation into the wild unknown, one step at a time, together."After a life-shattering event, Clementine builds a wall around her heart. But when a charming stranger appears in her aunt's apartment, seven years in her past, she's faced with a dangerous choice: risk everything for love or play it safe.I started reading this book thinking it was just a normal romance novel with a time travel element. But it was so much more than that. What I didn't know is that it deals with the grief of losing a loved one. Hence, this book was not just a romance novel.The magical element in this book was confusing, and to be honest, I have so many questions. But the whole idea of a magical apartment was refreshing and unique. Honestly, I wonder where this author gets such ideas from!This is my second book by Ashley Poston, and I can tell you that her books are not just light and fluffy rom-coms. The way she adds elements of human emotion is outstanding.I loved the friendships in this book! It reminded me of my very own friends.🥹 The main character, Clementine, was simply adorable. I loved how the romance was built in, but the whole idea of time travel somewhat irked me.Mind you, once you start reading this book, you just can't put it down and plan to resume it some other day. Her writing and plot are addictive. I finished a major chunk of this book in just one sitting.By all means, if you are looking for a book with some magic, a story that will touch your heart along with some incredible characters, then don't forget to read this one. 📚❤️4.25✨️

THIS BOOOK!!! The plot, lord christ. It's beautifully written and the flow of the story wouldn't let you put it down. Had me giggling and screaming for all the right reasons. The characters have been created well and have their own story plus it's a fresh story not some jumbo jumbled up spicy story such as twisted series. But this is fresh, light and lovely to read. I'd recommend it to everyone who wants to read. It's the best book I've come across. Love love love to the book.
