The Seven Year Slip is a read that captured my mind, spoke to my soul, made my heart beat faster, and tugged just a little more as a swarm of emotions enveloped me. This is my first book by Ashley Posen, and I am captivated by the simplistic yet impactful prose character development that spans seven years into the past and future. This book is about finding yourself through grief, learning to pick the little pieces as they drop, romance and becoming the best version of yourself. Clementine is one of my favourite characters of 2023. Her evolution as she sees the safety net of her job slowly begins to tear into unfulfillment; her devotion towards being a best friend and confidant and reading her heart soar with Iwan is magical. The timelines were distinguished and flowed exceptionally well. The lead and supporting characters were full of life and highly relatable. The little wisdom giveaways are something that lingers in the corner of my mind for a long time. However, I found the ending to be a little rushed, but it did not take away from the central message of this beautiful read.
If you're a fan of romance, time travel, what if and nostalgia, this is the perfect read for you.
