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.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With this poignant, magic-infused contemporary romance, Poston (The Dead Romantics) explores love, grief, and the courage it takes to create one's "own adventure." As a publicist for a boutique Manhattan book publisher, Clementine lives for work, splitting her limited personal time between her parents and her coworkers, and grieving the recent death of her larger-than-life, Auntie Mame-esque aunt, Analea. Analea left Clementine her "century-old" Upper East Side apartment, which she often described as a place where "time pinched in on itself," but she also warned Clementine not to fall in love within its walls. Clementine learns that her aunt's kooky stories are true when she wakes up to find young chef hopeful, Iwan, also in residence—though he's living seven years in the past. What follows is an easily flowing and often unpredictable romance. The magical element adds a cool twist on the gradually building central relationship and Poston's depictions of grief ring especially true and are sure to tug at readers' heartstrings. This is an emotional delight.
Customer Reviews
Oh my god
This book is so good, the story is so well written it just drags you in it, and you are not able to put the book down. It’s a beautiful story full of romance, with a hint of grief over the main character’s dead aunt. I very much recommend reading it and I am very happy I was recommended it by one of the social media. This just made my top 5 of favourite books I have ever read, and I am 34 and have read many. Wow! Go, read it
Lovely story & enchanting
If ‘Golden Hour’ was a book, it’d be this. Maybe my new favourite book! I just loved it. I really hope there’s a second book, I feel like more can carry on from the story!
Boaring
This book had a lot of hope when i read the blurb but the constant cringey flirting and lack of a real story line just didnt do it for me id like more depth in a book however i dont think it was written for that purpose.
