๐‘…๐‘’๐“‹๐’พ๐‘’๐“Œ: This shit is so cute. Literally fucking giggling out loud, dying on the floor of laughter, and kicking my feet. Honestly, I love that most of the characters are members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Itโ€™s nice to read something different than what seems to be the typical. It was so funny and lighthearted but also made me feel all the feels. All the characters are amazing. I feel Noodle the Poodle deserves to be mentioned. The lovely drag queen Annie Depressant also deserves a mention here because honestly the name is enough.

I was really on the fence about this when I first started but my god, I loved this.

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.

The sci fi elements and mystery payoffs werenโ€™t that satisfying to me. Almost would have preferred if Quiston approached it  as historical fiction instead. That said, the spice is SPICIN, keep it UP.

I started enjoying this much more near the end, I think. It got more emotional and the writing became a tad more lyrical, and I liked that part. I'm happy I was able to predict some of the plot twists, I think they were well constructed in a sense that they were hinted at but not stated too obviously (like, an attentive reader would catch onto them).
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 crazy๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
