An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate…only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise new novel from the bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.

Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.

Six months ago, Clementine West had the worst day of her life. So, she came up with a plan to keep her heart safe: stay busy, work hard, take no risks. And it’s been working.

That is until one day she finds a strange man standing in her kitchen. A man with kind eyes, a crooked smile, and a recipe for the perfect lemon meringue pie. The kind of man that, before everything, she could have fallen for . . .

He’s perfect but for one thing: he lives in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact.

This should be impossible, but Clementine used to love impossible things. And maybe, just maybe, she will again. After all, love is never a matter of time – but a matter of timing.

Clementine grew up hearing the story of her aunt's magical apartment. How it could unexpectedly send you to the past or to the future. Clementine always wanted to experience said ocurrence; but she never expected her oppprtunity would come six months after her aunt's death. One day she opens the door to a different apartment, and an unexpected roommate, Iwan. They strike a fast friendship, and after just one weekend, she wonders where Iwan is in her present, seven years after their first meeting. She doesn't have much time to wonder because Iwan literally walks into her publishing firm; but not only has his appearance somewhat changed, his name too. Iwan is now a rising-star in the culinary industry, and her firm wants to publish his first cookbook. Kudos to Ashley Poston for not writing the expected story one would first think of when reading the premise. I was gladly surprised to read that they met in the present well into the beginning of the book. I was afraid of how Poston would manage that knowledge imbalance between the two MCs, and I was happily satisfied with the explanation she came up with. Though I appreciate there was no palpable third-act conflict, I did feel like something was missing. The ending was too short, and the epilogue was really vague.
