My book club’s February read was “The Seven Year Slip.” Not thinking of myself as much of a romance and magical realism reader, I wondered if I would enjoy this book.
Well, I gave it five stars when we voted at our monthly meeting.
An overworked book publicist, Clementine, inherits her beloved aunt’s apartment and finds a man, Iwan, living there as well, seven years in the past. A love story ensues.
If you’re looking for a fun, witty romance with relatable characters, this book may be for you. I loved the pacing in this touching story; the traveling seven years into the past and future was effortless, and you fall in love with characters you’ve never met and places you’ve never visited.
“I think,” he finally said, choosing his words carefully, “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.”
If you pick up this book based on my post, send me an email at carolelynnjones@gmail.com and let me know your thoughts.
Happy Reading!
