An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise novel from the bestselling author of "The Dead Romantics."

By Lília

Clementine is heartbroken after the passing of her aunt and does not want to get involved with anyone.

But after meeting Iwan in her aunt’s apartment – now hers – she first thinks he’s invading her space, then learns her aunt had invited him to stay – and slowly discovers they’re living in different time zones: him in the past.

They fall in love, but how do you sort out this situation, where you meet your love in his past but in the present, he’s quite different than he used to be?

And while their love story is developing and unravelling, Clementine still needs to decide what she will do with the vacation she doesn’t want to take and a job that might be changing forever.

I had a false start with this book but decided to give it a second try because I enjoyed The Dead Romantics.

And boy, was I right!
