I only have two things to say:
1. White MC says that “Racism doesn’t exist anymore” to Asian love interest.
2. They had sex on a train. A very public train.

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.

I really enjoyed this book. I will admit it dragged a little towards the middle but it gripped me again shortly after and I raced to finish it.

This was really easy to read and really engaging, and the magical/sci-fi realism was well done and enjoyable.

I feel like the main theme in this book is love: love of a person, a place, of yourself, family & friends. There’s so much love in the friendships August makes and I adore the people she spends her time with in NYC. The love for NYC is wonderful too. This community and the community in Billy’s diner too. How everyone bands together. The love within the queer community too and unquestioned acceptance of each other as well as the supernatural elements was great.

I think identity, relationships, family, love & loss were all approached really well. The characters were fantastic and I could totally read a spin off book on any of them.

I thought parts of the plot were predictable but I didn’t mind one bit. 

Super queer, super loveable, fun and a wild ride.
