What this book is about

After her aunt dies, Clover inherits her New York apartment — and discovers it occasionally slips seven years into the past. There she meets Iwan, a man she falls for, before she realizes he exists in the present too, but can't remember meeting her. Ashley Poston's bittersweet time-slip romance is less about magic mechanics and more about grief, connection across time, and loving people you might lose.
