This was such a good book. If anyone would ask me what book to read, it would be this one. The romance was adorable and the way the author portrayed dealing with grief was beautiful.

Wow this book was such a pleasant surprise. I have a bad track record with contemporary romances and I think I finally found one that I genuinely enjoyed. 

The author did such a beautiful job of writing a story about dealing with grief of losing a loved one to su*cide, finding and losing someone you love, self discovery, and so much more. 
I don’t think there was a single character I disliked. Everyone was given such well written personalities and backstories. Nothing about them felt cliche or surface level.
My only main issues was that certain parts became very repetitive and I felt like the romance aspect suffered because of it. I savored the moments between Iwan and Clementine and wish some of the repetitive paragraphs had been traded in for more of their love story. 
All the aside I’m really glad I decided to read this and I will definitely be adding the authors other books to my TBR!

Always chase the moon

The Seven Year Slip was a cute time travel rom com with themes of grief and finding your passion. 

The romance was sweet if a little insta-lovey. I like the nicknames. The side characters were charming. The pacing was good.

I enjoyed it but not as much as I thought I would. 

This book made me realize why I read mostly YA… from the very beginning with the characters starting off at this high end restaurant talking about the wine. Every dinner scene after that they’re drinking wine or beer with their meal. I’m just like so tired of alcohol/wine culture being so normalized. Maybe I also just don’t relate to Clementine because she’s privileged, gets to travel wherever and go to these fancy fine dining places.

I’m sorry but who says someone’s name or nickname multiple times in one conversation? Maybe I’m the weird one but that seems so unrealistic and too intimate? 😭😂

I tried to read this book after reading Song Of Achilles. I was not ready, I was still mourning the last book and the pace at first was too slow. So it sat unread for a few months before I finally came back. And I fell in love quickly. It was such a beautiful cheesy and nostalgic read In the way that makes you want to experience your first love again. It had me tearing up and rooting for the characters happy ending in such a sad set of circumstances. And I think the grief handled in this book was handled well.

A beautiful heartwarming story so elegantly written. These characters will live in my heart rent free, and Ashley Poston has done a fantastic job with the grief the FMC is going through. 
The little twist that was thrown in there was beautiful and unexpected.

Ashley Poston has now become a must buy author for me.

The audiobook has a good narrator, but she pretty much ruined the book with her severe mispronunciation of the MMC name. I can’t believe they released the book like this.
