Seven Year Slip
Seven Year Slip | Ashley Poston
"A gorgeous love story from one of the finest romance writers out there." --Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer AfterA New York Public Library Best Book of 2023 A Most Anticipated Book by Entertainment Weekly ? Harper's Bazaar ? PopSugar ? Real Simple ? BookRiot ? and more! An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate...only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics. Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it. So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn't want to get too close to anyone--she isn't sure her heart can take it. And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt's apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would've fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again. Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future. Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she'll be doomed. After all, love is never a matter of time--but a matter of timing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “It‘s never a matter of time, but a matter of timing.” A little hokey, but cute. A unique NYC apartment meddles in the love lives of its residents. Obviously, you need to suspend some belief here, but once you do, it‘s a very sweet and thoughtful story about love, change, and grief. Thanks to my good friend Rachel for the rec!

Brought this book with me to the car maintenance shop but am playing with Litsy instead 😉

I *am* looking forward to this! LOVE time travel and am much in the mood for happy books right now. ❤️

BkClubCare @KadaGul - Thank you! Do you enjoy time travel, too? Do you read a lot of romance (I do not, but I tend to read a LOT of different genres) ❤️ 2mo
KadaGul @BkClubCare, I read more romance 🥰 than time travel 🧳stuff. I cannot get into sci-fi and fantasy. Honestly, I struggle to picture those kinds of stories! (edited) 2mo
BkClubCare @KadaGul - sure, sure. I usually don‘t get tripped up by the world-building nor time travel mechanics if story and characters are fun. 🤩 2mo

I‘m late opening my box of #FallingIntoFall goodies, but it‘s been a great Fall day filled with baseball, including a win by our beloved Detroit Tigers. That win had a heartpounding 9th inning, ye Gods. Suddenly I remembered my box! It‘s terrific! I LOVE biscotti, and the coffee and snacks are perfect. Seven year slip has been on my list and I can‘t wait to read both books. Thanks again, @Kshakal & happy Fall!

A truly magical apartment that transports you back in time by exactly 7 years when you‘re at a crossroads. Clementine is at a crossroads, whether she likes to admit it or not. I liked seeing her slip back in time, figure out the present day connections, and finally come to terms with all the weight she‘s been carrying, including grief, her career, art, and romance. The apartment she didn‘t want ends up being just what she needed.

This was so different from what I was expecting - in a good way!
The time bending apartment was such a fun idea, and I really liked both main characters and their exploration of grief, though I didn‘t connect with the story as emotionally as I thought I would.
I‘m definitely interested in reading more from this author.

You never commit a mundane moment to memory, thinking it‘ll be the last time you‘ll hear their voice, or see their smile, or smell their perfume. Your head never remembers the things your heart wants it to in hindsight 💔

I loved Postpn‘s previous book, “The Dead Romantics”, so I was very much looking forward to this next book. After making it about 80ish pages, I couldn‘t find myself reading any further as the story wasn‘t as engaging and I thought it was very frustrating that Clementine didn‘t tell Iwan about the seven year difference at the beginning and just decided to withhold that information instead. Maybe I will try reading this again someday!

Reading on my kindle is honestly my fav way to read anything. I do love physical books but I find I read faster on my kindle. Anyone else experience this? I buy books with beautiful covers and non-fiction. And sometimes a story I have to own bc I loved it so much. Kindle Unlimited is also so nice along with Libby for endless availability. 🩶📖

Sad, bitter-sweet and touching.
Well done magical realism and interesting premise, but there was a lot of repetition and this novel wanted to be so many things.
It‘s a story about finding yourself and pursuing happiness. I liked the thought of the change of people over the course of their lives and how you can't hold on to someone for who they were in the past for who they are now.

A lot of my booktubers that I follow couldn‘t get enough of this romance, so I thought I‘d give it a go. I liked it, I wouldn‘t go as far as saying I loved it, but it was a fun and fluffy quick read. I like that the main characters nickname was “Lemon.” 🍋

A romance that takes place in a magical apartment that sometimes comes unstuck in time by 7 years. I wasn‘t sure the gimmick would work but I ended up really liking it.

Back in the publishing world but a different company. Clementine has inherited her aunt's NYC flat - which can send you 7 years to the past. There are LOTS of references to 'Dead Romantics', Poston's previous book (including Benji himself)

This book didn‘t really do it for me 🤷🏼‍♀️ the concept was intriguing and I didn‘t bail on it, but it also seemed purposefully cheesy and naive, like a YA romance, and it didn‘t evoke any emotion out of me other than the occasional eye roll. 2.5 ⭐️

What if your flat had the possibility to travel in time? But it would only go back seven years. And you'd meet the love of your life, but they don't know you in the present.

I knew how this would end, I anticipated some of the twists and turns early on, I appreciated seeing the cameos.

Well-crafted #Romance - let's not talk about the science behind the time travel, that would spoil the magic. 😉

My first book of the year, a romance featuring a hot chef. The twist is the protagonist has an apartment that puts her 7 years in the past sometimes. Also a story about grief. TW discussion about suicide

What a great book! It took me the first few chapters to get into it but soon enough it became a page-turner. Many of the things that happen, you see them coming, and it actually complements the book well. I resonate with the meaning behind this book a lot at the moment while looking back to some letters I wrote when was a little girl and the person I have become now. I think anyone would resonate with it in their own personal way.

Grief takes center stage in this romance novel; unsurprisingly, it packs an emotional punch.

Somehow, I accidentally found myself reading two time travel novels at once — funny, because I‘ve always struggled to wrap my mind around the mechanics. One Last Stop is still my favorite when it comes to this particular niche genre but there‘s plenty of warmth & spark here, too. Themes of change, risk, safety, & comfort are layered & complex. 👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: I think Poston has a tendency to “bring things back around” too blatantly — which means that she has a difficult time creating mystery, and she sometimes repeats herself. She also tends to do A LOT in one (fairly short) book. I think she‘s *mostly* successful, which is impressive! Still, I sometimes want to dive deeper into her characters. I think more length (still with tight editing) might behoove her. (edited) 13mo
monalyisha As a general, readerly note to publishers (and not as a slam against this book, which I found largely delightful): falling in love through time and/or over food can only feel like fresh themes for so long. We need some lightly magical romances that *don‘t* involve lemons sometime soon, okay?! (edited) 13mo

Could not put it down. Some themes touched on, as a stream of consciousness: Life and death. Love and loss. Food as love, warmth and laughter — and emotional fuel. Ambition as the motivation of doing vs what is done for the love of it, the curiosity that leads to creating. What makes you, uniquely you. How does that change over time and what stays the same? It‘s a neat fun package to follow this story — and provoke those musings in your own story

This is when Clementine gets told by Earl that she had something in her mailbox. She was estatic but also shocked. What could it be? It was a letter that Vera sent Clementine's aunt, Analea. She and Analea had dated thirty years ago. She must think that Analea is still around or something...

Some authors tend to write in a confusing way and I get lost because the writing is all over the place... Too hard to follow and leads to me taking an even longer time finishing... which I dont like doing! So authors, please write and entertaining book. Thank you

The book focuses on three characters: Clementine's aunt, Clementine, and a mysterious handsome man with a Southern accent and drawl, Iwan. Clementine was told by her aunt who passed away that the apartment has secrets. Her aunt met Vera; now she meets Iwan. Could this be true love? Could this be a coincidence? Idk but I am hooked

This is a book about a magical apartment, about who we are today, who we were in the past, and who we will be in the future. With themes of love, forgiveness, grief and fulfilling your dreams, I could not put it down! Every time I think the last book by Ashley Poston was my favorite, she comes out with a new one that steals my heart. I also loved getting a little Easter Egg glimpse at the characters from The Dead Romantics.

The Seven Year Slip isn‘t one for the world-building purists, but that‘s okay. The “magic” isn‘t the focus, it‘s the romance blooming between Clementine and the man her apartment took her seven years back in time to meet, Iwan. He‘s a time travelling manic pixie dream boy who says stuff like “When was the last time you did something for the first time?”.
