BOOK REVIEW: Slip by L. Ryan Storms

Slip

Author: L. Ryan Storms
Publication Date:  15 April 2025
Genre: YA Fantasy / Romance / Magical Realism

Book Description:

9 minutes and 53 seconds isn't enough time to change the world. It's not even enough time to finish a biology exam.

But 16-year-old junior, PJ "Slip" Ellis, gets to repeat the most anxiety-inducing parts of her life again and again. Because her panic attacks send her 9 minutes and 53 seconds into the past, which means she'll do whatever she can to avoid triggering her nerves. And she's learned to deal with her anxiety...mostly.

At least, until Ethan Morrow appears in class. Now, PJ is falling for Ethan, and her anxiety-once under control-is quickly spiraling out of hand. So, PJ's determined to avoid Ethan with every slip.

If only the solution were so easy. Ethan appears in PJ's life no matter what path she takes, no matter how many times she slips. Is it fate? Kismet? Organized chaos? One way or another, PJ must make peace with herself if she ever wants a shot at true happiness with-or without-Ethan Morrow in her life.

SUMMARY

Slip follows the story of sixteen-year-old Penelope Jane "PJ" Ellis, who has a unique and challenging ability—whenever she experiences anxiety or panic attacks, she's sent exactly 9 minutes and 53 seconds into the past. This unusual temporal displacement, which PJ calls "slipping", has become her coping mechanism for navigating the stressful moments of her teenage life. She's developed strategies to manage both her anxiety and her slips, creating a delicate balance that works—most of the time.

PJ's carefully constructed world begins to unravel when Ethan Morrow, an old classmate, returns to school after moving back from California. As PJ finds herself developing feelings for Ethan, her anxiety—which she thought she had under control—begins spiraling. What's most perplexing is that no matter how many times she slips to avoid Ethan, he continues to appear in her life through different circumstances. Even more startling, Ethan seems to remember events from her "slips" that should have been erased—something that's never happened with anyone else.

The novel explores PJ's home life with her workaholic but loving single mother, with whom she communicates primarily through handwritten notes. PJ's friendship with her best mate Mariana Salvadore provides grounding support as she navigates the complications of her condition. Throughout the story, PJ grapples with whether to reveal her ability to Ethan, especially after previous failed attempts to confide in her mother. The central question becomes whether PJ can make peace with her anxiety and her unique ability to give herself a chance at happiness.

MY THOUGHTS

Storms has crafted a refreshingly original take on the magical realism genre with Slip. What immediately struck me was how seamlessly the fantastical element of time-slipping integrates into the otherwise grounded narrative—a hallmark of magical realism. Unlike traditional sci-fi or fantasy tropes that often over-explain supernatural mechanics, Storms treats PJ’s slipping ability as an organic extension of her emotional reality. The 9-minute-53-second rewinds are not just plot devices but visceral manifestations of anxiety itself, blurring the line between psychological experience and literal magic in a way that feels deeply human. Haven't we all wished we could go back and redo those moments when anxiety gets the better of us? PJ actually can, and watching her navigate this power brings both humour and poignancy to the narrative.

The character dynamics are absolutely brilliant. The dialogue between PJ, Ethan and Mariana flows naturally and often had me chuckling aloud. Their banter feels authentic to teenage friendships without falling into the trap of trying too hard to sound "young". PJ's relationship with her hardworking single mum is portrayed with nuance—there's genuine love there, alongside the realistic frustrations of a teenager who wishes for more parental presence.

Storms handles the mental health aspects of the story with remarkable sensitivity. The conversations between PJ and Mariana about anxiety and mental wellbeing are thoughtfully constructed and genuinely moving. These moments provide valuable insights without ever feeling preachy, which is quite an achievement in YA literature where such themes can easily become heavy-handed.

Where the novel falters somewhat is in its pacing. The second half leans heavily into romantic tension at the expense of leveraging slipping’s unique storytelling possibilities. While Storms wisely avoids over-explaining the ability’s mechanics (a strength of the magical realism approach), I found myself wishing for more creative applications of the slips themselves. For instance, how might PJ’s relationship with her power shift if she actively engaged with it rather than solely reacting to anxiety triggers? The narrative’s focus on Ethan, while emotionally grounded, occasionally sidelines the very device that makes PJ’s journey so distinctive.

I was also slightly perplexed by PJ's reluctance to tell Ethan about her ability when she already knows he somehow remembers her slips. This hesitation feels somewhat contrived, especially given that he's demonstrated an awareness that should make him the perfect confidant. It's a small logical inconsistency in an otherwise well-constructed narrative.

Despite these minor quibbles, Slip delivers a compelling story that balances its supernatural premise with authentic emotional depth. The novel excels at depicting the everyday struggles of teenage life alongside extraordinary circumstances, making PJ's journey relatable despite its fantastical elements.

Book Description:

Rule #1 of Revenge Club: Don’t fall for your target

Andrew

I’ve come a long way since being the gawky, geeky, gay kid who was constantly picked on growing up. Having just sold my tech start-up for so much money it broke my phone calculator, I’m now at a loose end wondering what to do next in my life.

Then I run into Justin. Justin, the golden boy from high school. Justin, the popular jock who turned my life into a living hell for four years.

And do you want to know the kicker? He doesn’t even recognize me.

Even worse, it looks like karma hasn’t done its thing because Justin definitely hasn’t been punished for his previous sins.

Maybe my next mission in life is to give karma a helping hand…

Justin

My life looks perfect from the outside – good job, good friends, no worries. Only I know it is all based on a lie. I’ve never been honest with anyone about my sexuality.

Then I meet the new IT guy at work who has just moved into my apartment building too. Given I seem to be having an extraordinary run of bad luck with technology at the moment—like having my email randomly decide to spam the entire company with images of trolls in intimate embraces —Drew’s been a lifesaver. And the more I get to know Drew, the more I want to confess my secret in the hope we can become something more.

But I can’t help the niggling feeling Drew is hiding something from me…

The Revenge Game is a laugh-out-loud journey through misadventures in revenge and the unexpected twists of fate. It’s where old grudges spark new attractions, where secrets unravel, and where two men learn all about redemption and love.

SUMMARY

The Drowners by David A. Anderson is a poignant coming-of-age novel set in 1990s Dublin. The story revolves around Aaron Anderson, a 15-year-old struggling to find his place in the world. Haunted by disturbing dreams and feeling like an outsider, Aaron navigates adolescence with sarcasm and wit. After being expelled from school, he finds a new beginning and forms a deep bond with Robbie, an aspiring actor of Jamaican descent. Together, they face the challenges of first loves, societal pressures and personal revelations. As Aaron grapples with his identity and the expectations of those around him, he must confront his past and decide whether to embrace his true self or conform to societal norms.

MY THOUGHTS

This book is a powerful exploration of adolescence, identity, and the complexities of human relationships. The author's use of humour and poignant moments creates a narrative that feels both authentic and relatable, drawing readers into the world of 1990s Dublin. The setting provides a unique backdrop, capturing the era's optimism and cultural nuances, which adds depth to the story. One of the strengths of the book is its raw honesty; it doesn't shy away from difficult themes like drug use, identity crises, and the struggles of growing up. This unapologetic approach makes the narrative feel real and engaging, allowing readers to connect with the characters on a deeper level.

The exploration of mental health themes in The Drowners resonated with me, particularly in its portrayal of Aaron's inner turmoil and his struggles with identity and societal expectations. The narrative reminded me of My Mad Fat Diary, a British series known for its honest and relatable depiction of teenage life and mental health struggles. Both share a similar tone in addressing complex issues with humour and sensitivity, making them relatable and impactful. The music ensemble in the book, with its references to iconic artists like Bowie, adds another layer of depth, reflecting the characters' emotional journeys and the cultural context of the time.

In terms of its themes and tone, The Drowners also brings to mind The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. Both stories explore the importance of finding one's place in the world through friendships and shared experiences. The film Submarine, directed by Richard Ayoade, is another point of comparison, as it too captures the awkwardness and humour of teenage life with a similar blend of wit and pathos. Even classic coming-of-age films like The Breakfast Club come to mind, as both The Drowners and The Breakfast Club highlight the importance of finding one's identity and forming meaningful connections with others amidst the challenges of adolescence.

However, at times, the dialogue felt slightly mature for the age of the protagonists, which occasionally required a reminder that these were teenagers. Despite this, the overall authenticity of the characters' experiences and emotions remained intact, making their journey relatable and impactful.

The character development is strong, particularly in the portrayal of Aaron's inner turmoil and his relationship with Robbie. Aaron's struggles with his identity, family expectations and personal relationships are deeply explored, making him a compelling and sympathetic protagonist. The dynamic between Aaron and Robbie is especially well-crafted, showcasing how their bond evolves from an awkward beginning to a comfortable and supportive friendship. The dialogue is smooth and authentic, contributing to the overall sense of realism in the story. The way the characters interact with each other feels natural, which is a testament to the author's skill in crafting believable relationships.

One minor issue is the lack of clear dialogue tags, which can sometimes make it difficult to discern who is speaking. However, this wasn't a big enough issue to cause a disruption in an otherwise smooth transition from one scene to the next. The narrative flows well, and the reader is able to follow the story without significant confusion.

Overall, The Drowners is a compelling read that offers a satisfying conclusion that aligns with its themes of embracing uncertainty and finding courage in the face of adversity. The book's ability to balance humour and sensitivity while tackling complex themes makes it a standout in its genre. I highly recommend it for its honest portrayal of adolescence and its exploration of identity, relationships, and personal growth. The author's willingness to confront difficult subjects head-on creates a narrative that is both impactful and memorable.
