Clementine has reluctantly moved into her deceased aunt’s apartment in the upper east side NYC. What she didn’t realise is she would be sharing the place with a handsome guy who is frustratingly charming, oh and he’s from seven years in the past. 

What follows is Clementine trying to navigate her life in the present outside of the apartment while trying to follow her aunts rules of living in this magical apartment, 1. Take your shoes off at the door. 2. Don’t fall in love. 

I was really excited for this book as I adored the authors previous novel however this one just fell short for me. 
The themes around death and grieving were extremely reminiscent of her other novel (Dead Romantics) which made this book feel less original. 
Additionally the little twists and what were meant to be “ah ha” moments were just way to predictable. 

There was also cameo from characters from the first book that felt so forced and really wasn’t necessary. 

I did love the relationship between Iwen and Clementine and the concept of the apartment was really enjoyable. I think I would have enjoyed the book more if I hadn’t read her first novel, which is a strange thing to say I know.
