Clementine inherits her aunt’s apartment—which allows her to slip through time and meet Iwan seven years in the past.
Ashley Poston is a gem and this book is SO GOOD. I am a sucker for magical realism generally, and Ashley does them so well, integrating a little bit of magic with a flawless and heart-wrenching romance. This has so much angst and emotion and pain and joy and I just ate it up entirely. I sobbed through a good chunk of it, and audibly gasped at one point, so overall SOLID FIVE STARS. The plot was so original and while I guessed some twists (and totally missed others) I also stayed on my toes the entire time, not sure where things were going and loving the ride the entire way. The side characters were phenomenal and the book also made me EXTREMELY hungry since food was a major component! As a bonus, if you enjoyed THE DEAD ROMANTICS, there is also a fun little easter egg cameo in this one!
In short, I will read everything Ashley ever writes forever and ever and this is an instantly beloved book for me and that is all.
