This is the story of August - a student who moves to New York for a new start in a new city and Jane - the girl she meets one day on the subway. Except Jane is always on the subway. Only on the subway. And has been that way since 1970s.
Trying to figure out what happened to her while seeing these two fall in love - I literally am tearing up just thinking about it.
If you're looking for something with a mystery and really decent characters that seem like real people, then check this out.

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.
