Super cute! The author did a great job of developing the supernatural mystery surrounding Jane in a way that felt natural with no conclusion jumping (except by August when she decided Jane might be a vampire ๐). The romance development was also excellent and I found myself rooting for August and Jane the whole time.
๐The Gist ๐: In her ongoing quest to escape her own life, August moves to an apartment in New York. On possibly the worst day of her year, she runs into a kind, gorgeous woman on the subway who gives her a train. Coincidentally, the woman is on the same train the next time August boards. And the next time! And the next... It occurs to August that these coincidences are a little too much to ignore.
