The Seven Year Slip

Kayleigh's Thoughts

The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston blends whimsical time travel with a cozy romance, following Clementine, a young woman who inherits her late aunt’s Manhattan apartment—only to discover a man from seven years in the past is mysteriously living in it. As their timelines intersect, Clementine and this unexpected roommate form a connection that defies logic and spans years, leading to a heartfelt exploration of grief, healing, and second chances.

Written in a warm, witty tone, the story feels like a modern-day twist on Kate & Leopold, offering a charming and quirky reading experience. Though slightly predictable in its romantic beats, the unique magical realism element keeps it fresh.

This book felt like a hug with a time-travel twist, and I didn’t want to put it down.
