It might be an understatement to say I loved this book.
Found family. A love lost in time. Drag shows and pancake houses, and a thousand tiny little things that make you feel like you belong.
Not to sound like I’m eighty years old, but this book was delightful. I can’t think of any other way to say it!
What a dream.
P.S. the acknowledgements made me cry..?

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press for providing me with an arc of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review!
August is a cynic who doesn’t believe in things like magic or love at first sight, but all that changes when she moves to NY and meets Jane on the subway. The only problem? Jane is literally displaced in time and it’s up to August to help her.
Don’t ask me how, but I honestly missed the part in the description that reveals the supernatural/sci-fi element of this book, but that just made it even more enjoyable! The characters leap off the page: each is clearly their own person and I loved meeting everyone. I also loved the diversity of the characters. It’s refreshing to read about people who feel completely unique and real. It felt like these people could exist somewhere in the world.
The story itself (aside from the notable twist in the description) was pretty predictable. While most of the basic story was a little predictable, there was more than enough twists and surprises woven in to keep me interested and make for a really great story.
Well worth the read!

A very different type of book from her debut, but not in a bad way! A bit of mystery and detective work makes this a cute and fun page-turner.

Very unique concept and definitely some cute queer moments and love the queer chosen family trope but it felt like many parts dragged on and the book could have been a lot shorter

I might like Red, White, and Royal Blue a *tiny* bit better, but this was still a perfect delight.
