The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston is a magical realism romance about Clementine West, an overworked book publicist in New York City grappling with grief after her beloved aunt's unexpected death and suicide, who inherits the aunt's quirky Upper West Side apartment rumored to slip its occupants exactly seven years into the past. There, she encounters Iwan, a charming aspiring chef with a Southern drawl and a penchant for lemon pies, who believes it's 2016 and she's the intruder, leading to an unlikely summer romance filled with rooftop stargazing, heartfelt conversations, and rediscovered passions that challenge Clementine's rigidly planned life and emotional walls. As the time slip forces her to confront her avoidance of love, career crossroads, and the raw pain of loss—echoing her aunt's wisdom to "chase the moon" and embrace impermanence—the story weaves themes of timing, healing, and second chances without revealing how their temporal connection resolves or alters her future.

Spoiler-Free Review

This is just a sweet little palette cleanser book. I did zero research and was pleasantly surprised that it was both romance and magical realism! Clementine inherits her Aunt's apartment in NYC and learns it has a time traveling mind of its own.

I enjoyed Clementine and Iwan and all the characters in this lovable story. I found only one scene lacking and it was when Aunt Analea makes a highly anticipated appearance in the space-time continuum. But I forgive the author because I got the ending I wanted 🫶🏼 What a great mind bendy time travel love story!
