A New York Public Library Best Book of 2023 "A gorgeous love story from one of the finest romance writers out there."--Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After 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. Review: Rich, sensual read about love, life and coping with tragedy... - I’ve agonised over this one – after all, I really hate it when I read a major Spoiler in a book review and I’m aware that the blurb and most reviews are careful not to mention this aspect. But in all conscience, I don’t think I can proceed without giving a major trigger warning, as the book deals with the aftermath of a suicide. If you’ve had to grapple with this heartbreaking event, you may wish to give this one a miss. However, I would also say that Poston deals with the subject with sensitivity and perception and writes movingly about her own experience involving the suicide of a close relative at the end of the book. I found this to be an interesting read. Initially, the book is rather low-key as Clementine is clearly pole-axed with grief. And as the book is written in first-person viewpoint, the fact that she is clearly massively struggling meant that while I sympathised, for the first section of the book, I found her somewhat closed off. The writing is very sensual – unsurprisingly, given that food is featured so heavily. But we also are aware of smells and lighting – and when Clementine blushes. It is a testament to Poston’s skill that this depth of description didn’t hold up the pace in any way. Though I would mention that if you’re looking for foot-to-the-floor action, then this one isn’t for you. Plenty happens and the overall pace steadily picks up as the book progresses and Clementine begins to recover from her paralysing grief that has stopped her in her tracks. A large part of that is down to the romantic relationship with someone seven years in her past – but for me, while that relationship is both complicated and beautiful, it isn’t the narrative engine that powers this book. The relationship at the heart of this one is between Clementine and her dead aunt, who was a huge influence on her life when alive and now has left her bereft. Her recollections of their time together is moving and heartfelt and never, not once, did it tip into sentimentality. In fact, Clementine’s clear-eyed take on the relationships in her life is frankly a tad unnerving. I can understand how she has made her way in a fast-paced, highly competitive field, like publishing. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of watching Clementine thawing out from the terrible grief that has held her frozen, which is powerful and accomplished. It brought to mind Susan Hill’s amazing book In the Springtime of the Year. Oddly enough, I found the timeslip aspect of the book – which was the reason that I actually wanted to read so badly – a tad annoying. I wasn’t convinced that throughout those long seven years, Iwan wouldn’t have made a concerted effort to track down Clementine. Other than that, I thought the romance was beautifully evoked and loved the ending, which I found very moving. Highly recommended for fans of books about the nature of life and living, including the shock of losing someone much beloved – including the giddying sensation of falling in love when you’re not expecting it. While I obtained an arc of The Seven Year Slip from the publishers via Netgalley, the opinions I have expressed are unbiased and my own. 9/10 Review: Beautiful story about love and grief - Rating: 3.5/5 What I liked: • Clementine and Iwan’s sweet, easy-going interactions. • The way in which both characters spoke about their passions (especially Iwan in his poetic way). • The joy in the memories of Analea and the way she lived life. • The inspiring messages within the story. The Seven Year Slip was a beautiful story about love and life in equal parts, all of which became emotional but inspiring. While it took me a while to fully invest in the story, I loved the messages and scenes. Clementine is a character I think many can relate to in terms of her grief and the questions it brings. Iwan bought a lot of light to the book with his passion for cooking and his sweet, lighthearted interactions with Clementine. They made for a lovely couple and it was a joy following their relationship. That being said, I’m not a fan of insta-love, and that sums up the beginning of the couple, so I would have liked a few more meetings between the two rather than the initial weekend. However, this is just personal preference, and fans of the insta-love trope will adore this. There were times it felt quite repetitive, but some of those times I think were there to reiterate the focal point of the plot. It was an interesting take on magical realism and the apartment felt like a main character in some ways. The way Poston wrote about grief and life itself was stunning. The words just flowed perfectly and poetically. Analea’s love for life and being in the moment shone through the book and was so inspiring. It truly had me reflecting on my personal life and questioning a lot. There were so many messages hidden within and it was impossible not to give each one so much thought. It’s a book that will stay with me for a very long time and will be purchasing once released, just so I can refer back to the stunning quotes, essence and spirit it provided. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 49,599 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 4,483 in Romantic Comedy (Books) 9,052 in Women Writers & Fiction 12,213 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 36,356 Reviews | ## Images ![The Seven Year Slip - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81N6pjRZLbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rich, sensual read about love, life and coping with tragedy... *by S***E on 18 July 2023* I’ve agonised over this one – after all, I really hate it when I read a major Spoiler in a book review and I’m aware that the blurb and most reviews are careful not to mention this aspect.
