The Seven Year Slip
by Ashley Poston
4.5 stars! The hype on this book is so high, but I think it <i>almost</i> lives up to it. My very small negatives for this book is the beginning felt a bit slow, and saw the sweet little twists coming so I think I lost a little bit of the magic.
Now for my positives. I LOVED the way time travel was done in this book. I often don't love time travel romances, but this was perfect. It happened just enough times and the system was easy to understand and easy to believe. I loved getting to see Clementine & Iwan's relationship grow in the past and present. They had a good balance of fun, flirty, funny chemistry & emotional, soulful chemistry. I also really enjoyed the theme of never being too old to try something new, or return to and old hobby or start fresh. I think a lot of romance books tend to lean very young or even older, but this felt perfect for anyone in their late twenties & early 30's.
This book expands past just a typical romance. There are beautiful friendships & family dynamics. It also explores grief, loss, and remembering loved one beautifully, and leaves you feeling hopeful.
