It also has 2 rules, 1. remove your shoes, 2. don't fall in love in the apartment. After an evening out with her friends, Clementine heads to the apartment to find a young man, Iwan, there. He says her aunt allowed him to sublet it. Clementine knows her aunt died 6 mos. earlier, then she realizes that it is actually 7 years earlier! She and Iwan almost instantly mesh, he calls her Lemon. They tell each other about themselves and fall in love. But, when she leaves the apt., Iwan is gone when she returns. In the present day, they meet again. He is now the famous chef, James Ashton, and has changed dramatically. Are they able to make it work when they live in the same time? Love, grief, and being true to oneself-are all in this beautiful story.… (mais)
