The Seven Year Slip

This book was sooooooo good. It felt like getting wrapped up in a warm blanket on a chilly day. It had all the perfect elements: a main character who learns more about herself, good food, a swoonworthy love interest, and and eccentric, magical apartment. While I could go on about how the plot is well written with jumps back in time and how even the side characters are interesting, it is really the way that the author wrote that sells this book. It is so poetic in its prose that nearly every page, I found another quote that I loved. It beautifully intertwined the aftermaths of grief and how easily it can be to lose yourself in the habituality of life. Not to mention, it wonderfully showed a love story that spanned 7 years in such a way that I wasn’t frustrated with either of the characters for not getting together sooner.

I can’t accurately put into words how good it was. I will be reading this book again!
