Love love the ghost butch, and many of the background characters, but I'm not into the main character very much. The ending was sweet, but it lowkey felt like a betrayal of
Jane's character for her to stay in August's time. It's a fabulous ending for August, but it's really really tragic for Jane, and it's lightly addressed but Jane loses everything and everyone she's ever known except for August.

As always i bloody adore this book to pieces.  This is my first re read and I was actually annotating my copy for a very special girl I hope to gift it too when I see them. 

It made me have all the feels. The queer joy.  The love.  It’s like a hug and a breathe of fresh air at the same time. Even when it’s tense.  I adore this book.

I started this book three months ago, at what would turn out to be the tail end of a long-ass reading slump, and that's a shame because it deserves to be read in one fell swoop, not me picking it up where I left off having forgotten details. so I'd like to reread it someday and take it all in at once. this felt much more grounded to me than McQuiston's first book, Red, White & Royal Blue (which was something I complained about at the time in my review of the ARC), which is kind of funny because that one was ostensibly grounded in reality while this one has time travel. but I'm really glad because it serves the novel very well, and McQuiston is good at grounded versus the overwrought antics of RWRB (there's a bit of that in here but it's minimally used for humor, as it should be, not leading the story). this is what all romance novels should strive to be, and I say that as someone who enjoys romance. so fully realized that the romance serves the characters instead of the other way around.

The first sapphic book and the first romance book I read, and it pulled me into a whole world of these books, so I'll always love it (take this with a grain of salt because I know I'm biased)!
Great diversity and representation too!

August moves to NYC believing that magic and cinematic love stories don't exist but then she meets Jane on the subway. However theres one big problem, Jane is displaced in time from the 1970s. I did really enjoy this book, and I love all the characters so much, especially Myla, Niko and Wes. They added so much to this book. August and Biyu are now one of my favourite couples in literature. It was so well written and intriguing. I only have two issues with it, firstly the chapters are excessively long, I'm sorry but 40 pages a chapter is too long. And secondly the ending, for me, was only happy for August.
Biyu left her entire life behind and she was just supposed to move on? I think it would've been a better ending if she'd gone back to 1977.
> I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves romance that's not easy and comes with mystery.
