Cons- Jane had no agency, it seemed like she wasn't getting any say in how things went down and August didn't listen to what she had to say at times. There was also the white savior proble of August trying to fix Jane's problem and telling her at one point that racism *isn't a problem anymore*(or a similar line to that). Which I found to be a disgusting statement considering current and past events. Additionally there were too many plot points that didn't make sense no matter how little I tried to think about it. It may have been ok if I could've turned my brain off but unfortunately I could not. August was such a terrible character and I found the ending to be unrealistic in some ways. I also just couldn't wrap my head around August being able to ditch work and school for ages and a few other plot points that I won't include here because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone intending to read it. On a final point I found that the sci-fi elements didn't mix well with the contemporary parts of it which is what caused me to have all these issues with it in the first place.
Pro- I enjoyed her roommates significantly more than I liked August.
