About the book
Clementine West is a publicist in New York City who inherits her late aunt’s apartment, a space that periodically travels seven years into its own past. While grieving, Clementine encounters a young chef named Iwan inhabiting the kitchen during a previous timeline. They share a summer together within the apartment’s magical walls, but in the present day, Clementine meets the professional, older version of Iwan. She must reconcile the hopeful man she fell for in the past with the ambitious stranger he became while navigating her own career burnout and the weight of her loss.
This story serves readers who enjoy romantic comedies featuring magical realism and time-loop mechanics. It appeals to those interested in the friction between youthful passion and adult pragmatism. Readers find a depiction of how grief alters one’s perspective on time and the importance of choosing a career that allows for personal joy. The narrative provides an examination of the choices that shape a life, helping the reader recognize the difference between mere survival and actual living.
