A book I was eagerly waiting to be translated because for those who don't know, The Dead Romantics is one of my 3 favorite books in the world! Therefore, as a fan of the author, I immediately picked up Seven Years Away and got lost in its magic and romance!
Ashley Poston's writing is so magical and wonderful, making you lose yourself in the romance!
Clementine has recently lost her most beloved person, while some changes in her professional life make her reconsider what she ultimately wants from her life. Her aunt bequeaths her an apartment that has 2 rules: to take off your shoes as soon as you enter and to never fall in love there.
Ewan has arrived in New York with a dream: to become a chef and offer the "perfect meal" to the world. But what happens when after a very tiring day, Clementine returns home and finds a stranger in the kitchen cooking lemon tart and fajitas? And were her aunt's rules and stories about time travel really just fairy tales? What happens when the past, present, and future collide? Will it be the right moment for a great love filled with romance, art, recipes, and fantastic food in an apartment that doesn't count time?
I don't know what to say to convince you to read it other than that I can't stop thinking about it for days since I finished it, while as I was reading, my heart swelled with the sweet writing, the beautiful characters, and the magical realism that made the story unique! The story of Lemon and Ewan will reward you, take you on a journey through time, and leave you with a sweet taste of good food after you read it! I wholeheartedly recommend it; I haven't read such a lovely book in a long time!
