The Seven Year Slip was everything I needed this summer 💛
Genre: Romance
Format: 🎧
Audiobook Narration: ☆☆☆☆
Pub Date: 6.27.2023
Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
"I loved how a book, a story, a set of words in a sentence organized in the exact right order, made you miss places you've never visited and people you've never met."
Putting together a review that does this book justice is not easy because The Seven Year Slip was absolute perfection. I loved the author's last book (The Dead Romantics), so I was a little nervous going into this book - what if I don't love it as much? Well, I did, and it's on my list of favorites for the year.
The connection between Clementine and Iwan is unmatched. They showed one another nothing but pure respect and admiration for one another, and I couldn't get enough of their moments together. There was something so beautiful about their story; the more it unfolded, the more captivating it became. Iwan showed such restraint and maturity at one point during the book that it brought tears to my eyes.
Speaking of tears, a part of this storyline was hard to read because it deals with losing someone you love unexpectedly. Towards the end of the book, an event takes place that had me sobbing because how magnificent would it be to have a moment just like that? Ashley Poston truly knocked it out of the park with this, and it felt like such a deeply personal novel.
This brings me to my final point: once you finish reading The Seven Year Slip, please read the author's note. I can't tell you how much I admire Poston for her vulnerability and can't imagine putting such a beautiful story together during such a difficult time.

🥹Tear inducing
As I said, The Seven Year Slip will be one of my favorite books of the year, and I am already counting down the minutes until whatever magic Ashley Poston creates next is published.
