I loved this story about Clementine, a frazzled publicist, who is grieving her Aunt Analea's death. Analea left her unique apartment to Clementine - the apartment has a secret. It also has 2 rules, 1. remove your shoes, 2. don't fall in love in the apartment. After an evening out with her friends, Clementine heads to the apartment to find a young man, Iwan, there. He says her aunt allowed him to sublet it. Clementine knows her aunt died 6 mos. earlier, then she realizes that it is actually 7 years earlier! She and Iwan almost instantly mesh, he calls her Lemon. They tell each other about themselves and fall in love. But, when she leaves the apt., Iwan is gone when she returns. In the present day, they meet again. He is now the famous chef, James Ashton, and has changed dramatically. Are they able to make it work when they live in the same time? Love, grief, and being true to oneself-are all in this beautiful story. Clementine has inherited her beloved aunt’s NYC apartment, and as she unpacks her boxes and tries to figure out how to come to terms with her grief, she soon finds herself also trying to remember – and life by – the two rules her aunt set down for her about the apartment (which, by the way, if magical): 1) Always take your shoes off, and 2) Never fall in love with whomever you may find when you walk in the door. It only takes a few days before Clementine needs to put Rule #2 into practice, when she comes home to find a strange man in her apartment and quickly realizes that the magic has happened to her: the apartment transported her back in time 7 years. Can she keep herself from falling in love with a man she knows she’ll lose again very soon, and if he loves her, then why hasn’t he tried to find her in the present? And would he be the same person? A sweet little romance with a neat premise. No real depths here, but the story is fun and decently written. If you like this sort of thing, you’ll like this. Clementine has inherited her aunt Analea's apartment after her unexpected death. It was a magical place when she was a girl, made more so by a vivacious aunt to who loved to take her travelling, inspired her painting and told her about the magic in the apartment. One day, a young man turns up in the apartment to stay for part of the summer, his mom being an old friend of Analea's. Clementine notices the furniture and the fun begins as Iwan continues to show up seven years in the past. There are pigeons, lots of good food as Iwan starts his journey to becoming a chef and book talk from Clementine's job as a book publicist. It was good and a lot more emotional than I thought it may be moving from the past to the present day of Clementine's life, where she is grieving her aunt and at a crossroads with work. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"A gorgeous love story from one of the finest romance writers out there." —Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After A Most Anticipated Book by Entertainment Weekly ∙ Harper's Bazaar ∙ PopSugar ∙ Real Simple ∙ BookRiot ∙ and more! 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 New York Times 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. So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn’t want to get too close to anyone—she isn’t sure her heart can take it. And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt’s apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would’ve fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again. Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future. Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she’ll be doomed. After all, love is never a matter of time—but a matter of timing. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This story had so much potential but for me it was disappointing.
Content: approx 30 uses of the F word, 10 uses of blasphemy, approx 25 uses of other swear words. Two same gender couples. Two open door sex scenes. ( )
