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).

BUT the second half is where the relationship really develops, blooms and makes me heart race. Jane, oh Jane, she is perfect. Her character comes through so well in this book and I have a BIG CRUSH on her. August is lovely, and I think her awkwardness makes Janes smoothness all that better. I also didn't realize this book wasn't a young adult (as that's what I usually read) but I got to the steamy parts and... WOW. It wasn't just a paragraph or a page but PAGES and multiple scenes of spicy content! And well written WLW romance at that.
Overall, this books strong points were the characters (main and all the side characters, seriously there's a lot), and although it had a slow start, I enjoyed the ending and how Jane and August's relationship plays out.

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!
