The Seven Year Slip

I didn't really enjoy her first book - The Dead Romantics, so I was very hesitant when I picked this book up. So, I was delightfully surprised when I found myself enjoying it so much that I finished it in a day.

The Seven Year Slip is a lovely timeslip romcom where a woman and a man find themselves entangled in a romance but they exist seven years apart.

It's a sweet book, simple uncomplicated story - I've been drawn to these kind of novels nowadays. The characters are loveable, its romance is really nice. Nothing steamy or smutty, but it was fun nonetheless.

The book also deals with grief and coming to terms with it, but doesn't linger on to too much to make a statement or a point. If I had to pick a failing, it would be that it brings up interesting ideas of self, and how time changes someone and, of course, grief, but it doesn't really stick to everything enough to make a convincing point or leave a message that sticks.

That being said, I really wasn't in the mood for something heavy, so I was happy with this book just the way it was. It was a really fun and light read.
