“I think that nothing lasts forever. Not the good things, not the bad. So just find what makes you happy, and do it for as long as you can.”

The Seven Year Slip is a love story between two people living seven years apart. Clementine lives in her deceased aunt’s apartment as she now tries to navigate life without the latter. One day, Clementine wakes up to a stranger in the apartment only to realize he is from seven years in the past. Clementine’s aunt used to claim the apartment was magical and now it was time for Clementine to experience that same magic.

This book was an enjoyable read. I read it in one sitting because I couldn’t put it down. Clementine and Iwan were just *chef’s kiss* (see what I did there? lol). I feel like things went a little fast between them but it didn’t bother me too much. The random switch between timelines was crazy because one thing was going on with past Iwan and then another with present Iwan. It’s like the apartment doesn’t want to give Clementine a break. The concept was very interesting and fun to read. Maybe it even stressed me out a little, but still, I had fun reading this book.
