Overall I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would when I got stuck in the 'Slow start, third person pov, should I even bother?' Phase.
However once I realized that even Jane didn't know what her own deal was, I was hooked. I definitely thought it was going to be one of those 'timeslips at midnight into another time' type of stories. I would have still loved that but I'm glad it went in a different direction. I love the way the author captured the easy slip from starngers to the all encompassing feeling of first love. I also adored our gang of friends, especially myla & niko.
I loved seeing Jane's progression from remembering who she is all the way to accepting herself enough to want to be called by her real name.
My only complaint is that the end felt a little abrupt and a request that to the thirdrail gods that the one day there will be a sequel in Jane's pov starting with that bus ride. Also there's nothing I love more than casual rep & this does that very well.
