I read this book right off the back of RWRB and while I didn't love it as much, it still was a fabulous read.  Nobody writes found family and seamlessly integrates diverse characters quite like Casey McQuiston and I LOVE IT.  I felt so at home with these characters and August's evolution perfectly encapsulates how it feels to be a girlie in her twenties.  I would've rated this book higher but the explanation of Jane's time warp situation and how she's energetically connected to August/how August makes Jane "more real" were very confusing to me and seemed sloppy and underdeveloped.  Considering freeing Jane from the train is such a big plot point, I shouldn't have been so confused by the logistics.  The love story was laid out wonderfully, the physics of the situation was not.  That aside, I read it in basically a day so clearly enjoyed it overall <3
