Six months ago, Clementine West had the worst day of her life. So, she came up with a plan to keep her heart safe: stay busy, work hard, take no risks. And it’s been working.

That is until one day she finds a strange man standing in her kitchen. A man with kind eyes, a crooked smile, and a recipe for the perfect lemon meringue pie. The kind of man that, before everything, she could have fallen for …

He’s perfect but for one thing: he lives in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact.

This should be impossible, but Clementine used to love impossible things. And maybe, just maybe, she will again. After all, love is never a matter of time – but a matter of timing.

I've never listened to a book where I've wanted to listen to it so fast so I can find out what happens in the end and so slow where I could savour every moment.

Chapter 24 was so unexpected and it really hurt my soul but I loved the warmth of this book and the main characters and the apartments magic.

This book will be forever in my top 5 favourite books EVER and will be a yearly re-read.

This book is an absolute joy. Its just beautiful.

This is the second book of Ashley’s I’ve read and she is now definitively rated in my favourite authors. Such a wordsmith, such a turn of phrase, she has me engrossed from start to finish. And the narrator for the audible version! my heart every time Iwan would speak. So good, I was revetted. Ashley will be an automatic purchase for me now. Love your work.
