I really enjoyed this! The characters were great, and the story was unexpected but very fun. I really wanted the B plot to end differently, but overall I liked it.

6/5 stars. loooooved it. loved the
subway sex
way less, but the book was enjoyable enough that it could be overlooked. was worried at first, bc chapter 1 August was insufferable, but i'm so glad she let her roommates love her. the supporting cast was very fleshed out and three dimensional, which allowed the book to be as immersive as it was.

When I first started this book I thought I would slowly read it/listen to it while working & just take my time. Little did I know, after the first couple chapters, I just couldn’t put it down! I fell in love with August & Jane, & the mystery that is Jane. It was intriguing, & I couldn’t wait for the story to continue! It brought a bit of fantasy into my romance books, instead of the usual romance in my fantasy books; it was amazing!

I really loved this book. The writing was great, the cast of characters sparkled off the page, and the mysteries were really fun with a slow build to unraveling them all. I loved the steamy romance. This book made me feel more confident as a queer woman. It made it easier to imagine a community and I loved the found family. I was totally absorbed while I was reading it and while I had a few quibbles, overall I found it a wonderful world to escape into with a fresh and fun concept.

Edit: dropping my review from 4.5 to 4. When the excitement of being in the story has worn off I have a few more criticisms of some of the racial dynamics in the book.

I read this as a fan of RWRB and it completely overturned my expectation. Such a beautiful romance through the lens of such a layered character with a dash of detective work and sci-fi that just makes it all so much more delicious. Highly recommend it if you're into tooth-rotting fluff or are more partial to romance than either of the above genres.

Time travel, the subway and saphic romance, what more is there. Very emotional and well writen love story. The amount of detail about the 70's and 80's queer protests was so good. I loved feeling like a part of this little queer family.
