AHHH it’s the middle of June and this is my first five star book of the year - I am so happy I finally picked this up!
It is soooo good! I stayed up much too late reading it because I didn’t want to leave the world the author created.
This book has beautiful discussions of love (in all different forms), grief, growing up and becoming who you are and want to be. This book had me giggling and crying (and I have not cried because of a book in a very long time). This book gave me all the feels!
While I didn’t think there were really plot twists in the book because it was sort of predictable what would happen (like the end result), the way things unfolded was unexpected and kept me turning the pages to see how things would happen. Perhaps that’s a metaphor for life?
I didn’t realize before reading this that this book takes place in the same universe as the author’s previous book “The Dead Romantics.” I did a soft-DNF of that book a few months ago, but after reading and LOVING “The Seven Year Slip” I’m excited to pick up the previous book and to continue to read more of Ashley Poston’s work.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
