✩࿐࿔ love and loss and time travel
🌷┆The writing was just beautiful. Ashley Poston got me hooked onto this book right from the first page. She made it not only romance <u>but a life journey too</u>. It showed how a person might change effected by death of a loved one.
<blockquote><i>'Except I didn’t need to be fixed. I’d gone through the worst day of my life by myself, and I came out the other side a person who survived it. That was not something to fix. <b>I didn’t need to be fixed. I just needed . . . to be reminded that I was human.</b>'</i></blockquote>
🥧┆It could be a little predictable but it is such a <u>cute</u> and <u>cozy</u> and <u>sad</u> read. I can never forget how finishing it made me feel and how I want to read it again for the first time
🖌️┆The heartbreak I felt when they fought in his new restaurant, how he lost himself, how she tried to tell him that, how he couldnt understand...
<b>⤷ <i>“Perhaps instead of wanting me to stay the exact same person you met in that apartment, you should let yourself change a little, too.”</b></i>
But what's a love without argument right..? coz ppl in love do find their way back always
<blockquote><i>That was love, wasn’t it? It wasn’t just a quick drop—it was falling, over and over again, for your person. <b>It was falling as they became new people.</b> It was learning how to exist with every new breath. It was uncertain and it was undeniably hard, and it wasn’t something you could plan for.</i></blockquote>
⁀➴<i>“I went on so many dates, I kissed so many people, I tried to fall in love again and again, and all I could think about was <b>you</b>.”
“<u>All seven years</u>?”
“Two thousand five hundred and fifty-five days. Not that I was counting,” </i>
✧˖° OVERALL reading this book and turning each page even at 1AM felt like a warm hug. its such a fun and fluffy read for a cozy day. I just wanna read Asley Poston's other books too now, her writing is just so beautiful. She so effortlessly wrote magical realism that it seems real
<u>Now let's come to the '<b>not likes</b>' </u>
✧ couldnt quite understand how the time travel worked
✧ insta love
✧ What abt other ppl?? Did she disappear from other's life completely for few days...?
✧ What abt her REAL 7 year old self ??
