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 to 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 the future.
Her aunt always said that the apartment was a pinch in time, a plac
e 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.
Review: I typically like time travel novels, although I'm not so much into fluffy romance novels. I decided to give this one a chance and started it over Labor Day weekend. The weather was perfect and this novel had a lightness about it that suited. It was cute and enjoyable. I found myself wanting to jump ahead to see if pieces came together as expected, but I held back and went along for the ride.
