This book is everything I have ever wanted. The dialogue, the setting, the romance, the found family, everything about this book. It is beautiful, and it is sad, and it feels very real despite the time travel aspect. I think that is one of the reasons that this book works so well. It is asking you to believe that a woman could get stuck on a train for 45 years, but that is also the least interesting thing about Jane. It’s fascinating, but what is more important is Jane’s story, and August’s story, and the effect that they all have on the people around them. This book is at times heartbreaking, and at times hilarious, and sometimes it is both at the same time. I truly cannot recommend it enough.

Personalmente ho apprezzato questo libro, ma solo moderatamente. 

Ciò è dovuto al fatto che a volte la narrazione risulta un po' troppo lenta e, al fatto che mi sembra che l'ultimo sia in parte di troppo, mentre se fosse stato condensato avrebbe avuto su di me un impatto maggiore. 

Inoltre, i personaggi mi sono piaciuti, ma con moderazione e perciò non sono mai riuscita a legarmi veramente a legarmi a pieno a loro.

Ho, invece, apprezzato la trama e la lentezza con cui

Jane è riuscita a recuperare i propri ricordi grazie all'aiuto di August, soprattutto quando quest'aiuto erano dei baci, e la loro storia d'amore

. 

Altra cosa che ho molto apprezzato è stato

l'esecuzione del piano per liberare Jane

Absolutely charming. It was a hell of a drive and I adored every single second of it. I’m (maybe) gonna update this review later, but now my head is numb for reading this book for the last 5 hours.
