i was a little skeptical about the time travelling trope at the start because of the rabbit hole it opens, so this book was such a pleasant surprise. i laughed, i cringed, i BLUSHED, i cried!!! all the characters in this book were lovable and a joy to read, Iwan is quite literally the man of our dreams, riding on the MEN WHO COOK supremacy. the chemistry between the main characters are off the charts as well uhggghhh. the writing style is light, and especially, tear-jerkingly tender in the final act. This is also a story about grief, and change, as much as it is about love (which is always a lovely new layer to explore), and the central role aunt analea played in clementine’s growth also made this an equally (if not more) important element of the story. Will own this book soon enough! 💧
