i was a little thrown off by the quick change in their relationship but it wasn’t anything crazy so i was still able to really enjoy it. at first i thought she was saying she loved him after two days, but then i realized it was just that she was hyperaware of not falling in love, and she was saying she could see it happening with him in the future.
i also think this story is about more than just the romance, which i really appreciated. the way grief is written is done so well (unfortunately because of the author’s experience) and i appreciated how fleshed out the characters were.

I did find the time aspect confusing at the beginning. I didn’t realise that it was only inside the apartment that the ‘slip’ occurred, so this brought me out of the story for a little bit but, once I’d figured that out, I was invested wholly.
On a more personal note, The Seven Year Slip allowed me the opportunity to reflect on my own feelings towards myself and life and the people I love. It gave me more reason to keep going. The beauty of literature can never be denied. I can’t say I’m excited, yet, to know who I’ll be in seven years, but I hope I still am.
Also, the Author’s Note was quite possibly the most beautiful Author’s Note I’ve ever read. Truly stunning.

I'm glad I hadn't looked at that review before starting this because it may have deterred me from reading. Poston's books are bingeable, and I listened to this in two sittings within a 24-hour period. The characters in this book were so likable, and you will find yourself rooting for them every step of the way. This book is magical and whimsical with themes of family, grief, and friendship woven in. The author's note at the end tied everything together beautifully and made the story feel even more heartfelt. I definitely recommend the audiobook for this one, and I'm interested to see what Poston comes out with next!
