Since releasing The Dead Romantics in 2022, Poston is on a roll with new and inventive romantic comedies. This is my favorite romance read of 2024 so far, with clever writing that demanded audible laughter. I also enjoyed the reflections on grief, loss, and growth. The Seven Year Slip includes some simple magical realism that takes a new, holistic view of time travel. Poston’s story encourages readers that it’s possible to fall in love with every version of a person.
