Love the concept of a time travel apartment and the main characters magically running into each other. 

Some of the writing was lovely, and the conclusion was emotional and sweet. But there were parts that felt rushed or cobbled together. For example, the friends didn’t feel fully developed (still not sure if Drew was the pregnant friend or her not-pregnant partner). The pigeons in the window well had more character than Drew and her partner.  Plus, for someone living in a magic apartment, Clementine seemed really oblivious about the coincidences all around her. 

Contemporary romance can be tough. There’s a lot of grief in this one, but overall the HEA is sweet and Iwan is a dreamboat.
