Ashley Poston

Beautiful! Ashley Poston did it again! With elements of love, grief, time travel, and personal growth, I found this to be a charming and delightful read. Once again I was feeling my feels and needed a couple tissues.

Clementine's character is endearing, funny, and relatable. She is processing the grief of loosing her aunt while continuing on with her career and life in general. The characters were well developed with the main characters having great character growth, and the storyline flowed well.

I absolutely LOVED this novel! It has quickly wormed it way into one of my top favorite reads. With little elements of "My Girl", "The Sixth Sense" and "Just Like Heaven" this book came together beautifully! This book was charming, funny, heartbreaking, endearing, and delightful. It had me feeling all my feels and I definitely needed a couple tissues.

I enjoyed the chemistry and wittiness of the characters, and how both Florence and Benji grow and learn from one another as the story progresses. Both characters are healing from things gone wrong in their past and help one another heal on their journeys.

**I received an advanced reader's copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review***

Though this has been described as a romance, there is a deeper and darker side to this novel that makes romantic scenes seem like a secondary element. That said, I simply loved it. Poston's writing is beautiful, the way a scene is captured or Florence Day thinks about her feelings is written eloquently and almost poetically. I felt connected to Florence's insecurities and her view of life - a number of tissues were used as she comes to terms with grief, moving forward, evaluating her life, and understanding the power of hope. There are laugh out loud moments, and the characters in the novel are in some ways stranger than fiction. But, that makes the novel more relatable. I would love to meet these characters.

A book that can stir so many emotions for me, and in a good way, is a keeper. This one is a keeper. I am so glad I finally had the opportunity to read this.… (more)
