I liked the overall story though I felt like it dragged on at some points. For example there was quite a bit of time spent explaining *why* Jane was trapped when I felt like that didn't really need to be explained (and ultimately was like ' we'll this is a wild guess anyway'). Also while I admire the authors dedication to showcasing the beauty of queer spaces, community friendships etc at times it felt like I was reading two different stories almost? Like we get a long scene at an event before ping ponging back to the plot of Jane being stuck on a train. This more of a personal gripe since I prefer a tighter plot driven stories- anyone who enjoys character interaction deep dives will enjoy that more.
Graphic: Homophobia
Moderate: Violence
