About this listen

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ 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 novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics.

A New York Public Library Best Book of 2023

"A gorgeous love story from one of the finest romance writers out there."—Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

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.

I found the story to be heartbreaking at times and filling up my cup in others. Very well thought out, especially considering the time slips. I also very much enjoyed Ms Pressley’s narration- beautiful job there. Highly recommend. This will be going into my “listen again” collection.

This book is one of those that you start reading and you just can’t stop. The ones that you fit in every second you can just to read one more page. When you get annoyed when they call your name because you have to stop reading. The characters were wonderful and the story was written so well. It’s definitely a book you root for them hoping beyond hope that they will find each other and be happy. I gave it 5 stars but would have given it 10 if I could have.

Such a great read.

I bought this book as a quick read, before jumping into another complicated world building book. As a palate cleanser. I did not expect for it to be memorable but I loved it. The story is beautiful on two different levels. I never read author’s notes but even that was beautiful.
