The plot and the characters were*chef's kiss*, the pacing 👎 and the main roma-  nce meh. August was really annoying for the first half of this book but she turned out alright! Jane was good representation but one-dimensional af.

I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it besides that it was by the same author as "Red, White and Royal Blue," which I liked. I am glad I went into it this way and was able to speculate about more aspects of the book than if I had read the summary or any of the reviews. I loved the romance, I loved the sense that something out of the ordinary was happening, I loved the mysteries, I loved the found family vibes of the apartment and the restaurant. This set the bar high for me with romance and captures well what I like out of a romance novel.

Joyous, hopeful, surprising, romantic, and a bundle of queer and queer history, and butch girls, queens and pancakes. It’s family, chosen and birthed into, about reunions and separations, choices and letting go.
What a ride, I don’t want to go into much detail as I felt the story should be known by just these details and jumped into. 
It’s an easy read and addictive too, the mystery, the heist, the romance, and all the amazing characters pull you in deep and you don’t want to let go.
Read it. That’s my rec.

Love how this book shows how amazing is a queer community, I did not expect that the book about time traveling will be interesting. But it is. I love some of the characters. But I wish the ending was a bit darker, but overall it's still a good book and very informative.

It took me quite long to finish this book because, although it was relatively short, it was slow paced and had long chapters. However, I still enjoyed this book and the writing style Casey McQuinston used. The cast of characters was very diverse, which I loved, and they were portrayed in a very real and respectful way. I was recommended this book by a friend and I am glad I read it because I am always down to expand my TBR with sapphic books. I felt satisfied with the ending, and it really made the book for me. The only reason I rated it less than 4 stars is because I am not a big fan of slow paced books (just my personal taste).

Wow. Such an interesting concept! The elements to this story are crazy and wonderful and intriguing. I love the witty banter and commentary... I laughed and I cried. I'm pretty sure this is the first book by this author that I've had the pleasure to enjoy but I'm about to go add a bunch more to my TBR.
