Casey McQuiston has once again made my sad lesbian heart happy once again. The fact that this one was wlw made it even more relatable (for me) than Red White & Royal Blue - both are amazing though. Also, I've finally found someone I can use to describe my type, because It's literally Jane.

I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it besides that it was by the same author as "Red, White and Royal Blue," which I liked. I am glad I went into it this way and was able to speculate about more aspects of the book than if I had read the summary or any of the reviews. I loved the romance, I loved the sense that something out of the ordinary was happening, I loved the mysteries, I loved the found family vibes of the apartment and the restaurant. This set the bar high for me with romance and captures well what I like out of a romance novel.

Before reading, I knew nothing but the book blurb on Libby, that a few friends had liked it, and that I had liked Red, White, and Royal Blue. I was expecting it to be a  Very good, but straightforward adult romance much like Red, White, and Royal Blue, but instead it has a whole mystery piece and a sci-fi piece and a queer history piece and found family piece and yes, it’s a contemporary romance too, but it’s so many things at once that it absolutely nails the so specific it’s universal without being straight up predictable tropes. In short, thank you, Casey McQuiston for combining all of my favorite genres and writing a book that is much much more than it seems in both light and deep ways.

Joyous, hopeful, surprising, romantic, and a bundle of queer and queer history, and butch girls, queens and pancakes. It’s family, chosen and birthed into, about reunions and separations, choices and letting go.
What a ride, I don’t want to go into much detail as I felt the story should be known by just these details and jumped into. 
It’s an easy read and addictive too, the mystery, the heist, the romance, and all the amazing characters pull you in deep and you don’t want to let go.
Read it. That’s my rec.

Love how this book shows how amazing is a queer community, I did not expect that the book about time traveling will be interesting. But it is. I love some of the characters. But I wish the ending was a bit darker, but overall it's still a good book and very informative.

This book. THIS BOOK. It made me feel so much. I’ve been reading a string of excellent books and I think this one takes the cake. So uniquely queer and fun while heartfelt and grounded in truth. Definitely not perfect: August saying to Jane that people being called slurs is not a thing anymore which is just…not true. But overall I really enjoyed this book
