The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
3.0
I'm a little bit disappointed with this one. It wasn't completely terrible, but after having it recommended to me by someone on BookTok as “infinity stars out of five”, I was expecting so much more.
When I first sat down to read this, I was aware of the general setup so I knew that she was going to meet someone and slowly fall in love, but that they would be separated by seven years in time and this would be a HUGE dilemma.
That isn't what happened.
There was no “slowly” falling in love for a start, it was total insta-love and the author did not give the reader any time at all to come along for the ride. And then with the time slip situation…the solution to her problem presented itself within the first half of the book. Like…what was the problem? Where did the stakes go?
So after that, the whole rest of the book just seemed like manufactured conflict that wouldn’t hold up to any close scrutiny at all.
I also didn’t love the FMC And the banter was pretty cheesy at times.
3 stars.
