The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston

5.0

my favourite romance book I've read this year by far! this was so much more than just a romance for me I legit felt a connection to clemintine and iwan like throughout this whole book I felt like I was there not just on the outside getting a peek inside the lives of these two amazing characters

౨ৎ clemintine west - she struggles with things like grief and pain after her aunt's death which are very real and very well shown emotions in this book but we also see how she works through it and seeing her road to happiness was beautiful and it definitely makes you root for her. she definitely is flawed and has a lot of quirks but she's such a resilient character and I think that's what makes her so special and easy to root for. I loved seeing how she went from being very closed off and weary of iwan to starting to slowly trust him and love him as a person. I think she met him at a time in her life when she needed comfort and she needed someone but she was just so in denial of it and still iwan managed to see through her and help her in ways that neither of them truly understood it was so beautiful.

౨ৎ james iwan ashton - his character is so full of love and passion for life and you can see it through everything he does but especially in his love for cooking. I loved just how kind and patient and caring he was not only in the past but seeing him still demonstrate that in the future and seeing him pursue his dream in the future it was just amazing to watch I truly felt like I was there watching it all go down and watching him charm clemintine in everything he said and did for her was so cute

I would like to believe the main reason I connected with this book and these characters actually lies within the message of this book "everything is a matter of time." I believe if i'd found this book at a different time of my life I probably would've had different thoughts about it but I found it now and that's something we should celebrate.

this book was exactly what I needed at the exact right time like a warm cup of coffee first thing in the morning, or a nice long shower after a long day of school/work this book will always be a 5 star for me and I hope you enjoyed it just as much as I did!
