I didn't *completely and absolutely fall in love* with the entire cast of characters as most other people seem to, but I did end up liking them a lot.
Also. I can excuse sex on an empty subway cart. but sex on a PACKED subway??? thats crazy😭😭😭

I fell in love with this city and this family and I don’t want to leave.
The relationship between Jane and August is beautiful and I thought the character development was really well paced. I love the friendship group and found family aspect, and Jane. I think 70% of my annotations were about how much I fancy her haha.
I’m 50/50 with the ending, it’s definitely cute and tugs on your heart strings! But it would have been very interesting to see the alternative.
If you’re looking for a story that’s hilarious, LGBTQ+, has found family, and is a little heartbreaking, definitely give this a read.

Edit: You know what I think this novel needs? Jane's POV. If we had a dual POV with Jane and August, I think it would have been so much better. We could have seen her flashbacks instead of just being told about them through August's eyes. That would have been so much better and maybe getting her inner thoughts about how she feels about August wouldn't make the romance so one-sided for me.
