The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.
Six months ago, Clementine West had the worst day of her life. So, she came up with a plan to keep her heart safe: stay busy, work hard, take no risks. And it’s been working. That is until one day she finds a strange man standing in her kitchen. A man with kind eyes, a crooked smile, and a recipe for the perfect lemon meringue pie. The kind of man that, before everything, she could have fallen for . . .
He’s perfect but for one thing: he lives in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact.
This should be impossible, but Clementine used to love impossible things. And maybe, just maybe, she will again. After all, love is never a matter of time – but a matter of timing.

In The Seven Year Slip, 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 timelines: he is 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 by the same author. And boy, was I right! This is delightful book, worth the time.
