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.

This book. THIS BOOK. It made me feel so much. I’ve been reading a string of excellent books and I think this one takes the cake. So uniquely queer and fun while heartfelt and grounded in truth. Definitely not perfect: August saying to Jane that people being called slurs is not a thing anymore which is just…not true. But overall I really enjoyed this book

This book was amazing! I wish I could give it a trillion stars. The romance is so sweet, there’s multiple moments that made me squeal with joy or cry with tears of every emotion. And the book didn’t leave you with any big question marks, and it gives you a happy ending. If you need a happy book this is one you should read.

went into it blind, found myself pleasantly surprised. didn’t expect the sci-fi elements and i really did enjoy them, though i thought they could’ve benefitted from more explanation. i also think august should have faced more realistic consequences for her actions. even if things get patched up quickly, some consequences would be better than no consequences at all.

overall, i enjoyed the characters and the plot, wanted to know how it ended, and wanted everyone to get a happy ending, which is really what i wanted to get out of it, so i’m pleased!

bonus points for almost everyone actually getting a happy ending!

What an original story!!
At first I thought it was just another “girl meets girl on the train and they flirt while girl A gets over her insecurities”.
But no!!! So much mystery! 
The romance build up was actually believable and deliciously paced!!
August’s found family was adorable and sweet!
I loved this book way more than I thought I would. It was engaging from the start!
