The Seven Year Slip is beautiful and heart-wrenching. Its perfect pace is partnered with surprising and devastating twists. It captures the ache of grief and the beauty of it too. It is filled with gratitude and hope, anger and confusion. In all, it is love after tragedy, community in darkness, beauty in the grey.
I did find the time aspect confusing at the beginning. I didn’t realise that it was only inside the apartment that the ‘slip’ occurred, so this brought me out of the story for a little bit but, once I’d figured that out, I was invested wholly.
On a more personal note, The Seven Year Slip allowed me the opportunity to reflect on my own feelings towards myself and life and the people I love. It gave me more reason to keep going. The beauty of literature can never be denied. I can’t say I’m excited, yet, to know who I’ll be in seven years, but I hope I still am.
Also, the Author’s Note was quite possibly the most beautiful Author’s Note I’ve ever read. Truly stunning.

Didn’t like this one as much as her previous book, mainly because, once again there were no twist to be surprised by as foreshadowing in Poston's case seems to be more like colorblocking. Also didn’t like the FMC, she keeps waxing on about how well-traveled and experienced she is but never mentions destinations outside the major tourist attractions. She has "eaten her way around the world" but seemingly doesn’t know the first thing about cooking or culinary arts. Also you forgot your ex-boyfriend’s name? What a heartless thing to do. Also the insane amounts of privilege she has and never acknowledges once are just alienating to me.
Overall still a cute story and I loved the idea; I’ll go watch The Lake House now.
