From hearing people online talk about Jane, I thought I'd fall in love with her; instead I found both August and Jane to be at best boring, at worst annoying. While I was curious about the mystery of whether or not Jane would return to the 70s, I realized I wouldn't have even been upset if the main couple was separated and Jane had gone back to the past. I was more upset about
There were a few other minor things that also bothered me. I was honestly shocked that August hadn't realized that
Maybe I'm being too picky. But I have to say I had much higher hopes for this book with the many, many stellar reviews that I saw. It's not bad, but it's definitely overrated. (Though I can't judge too much since I know we're all starved for sapphic content).

In the beginning I really liked it, but then during the middle I didn’t love is as much after talking to a friend about the book. But then later on I liked it again, but (!) the end, I’m sorry but it made me disappointed! I had hope for at least five other ways the book could end on that I thought would be a more real end but it was still interesting to read!
I don’t know why, but I couldn’t picture the characters appearance a lot of the time :( and I mixed up Nico and Was which was annoying!
It was a nice book to read and discuss with friends about! I didn’t love it but it was still a good book!
Took me exactly 11 hours to read!

I'd forgive the book for trying to be a "lighthearted" read or whatever, but the implications of Jane's circumstances/experiences, and the references to real life tragedies that queer people faced- I have to wonder, why was this the premise for a romcom? I don't find it disgusting or immoral, just an extremely odd decision. I do not understand this book.
Also, whatever the humor style in this book is... I do not care for it.
