This book is aggressively queer in the best way; there is a love letter here to the community that springs up wherever it can grow, whether through kindness or adversity, and it's amazing to see. The characters are grounded and real despite the time travel aspect, and it doesn't shy away from the consequences of that either. I normally find romance novels of this length to be a bit much, but I tore through this book and despite the satisfying epilogue still found myself with post-novel depression. An absolute must-read for queer romance, honestly.

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!
