The Seven Year Slip

“There was never grief without love or love without grief.”

I was initially drawn to this book after having loved The Dead Romantics earlier this year and because I found the concept so intriguing but, while the romance itself was sweet and ultimately hopeful, what really got to me was the examination of grief throughout this book. I lost my mom two weeks ago, and my grandma back in January, and there are so many lines that felt so painfully real and close to my own experience. It makes sense why once I got to that author's note. I don't know you'll ever see this review among so many, Ashley Poston, but from the bottom of my heart, thank you for putting into words such complicated feelings. Keep up the good work.
