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!

 Started reading this on the subway during my last minute solo trip to New York, which felt apt. Also, definitely missed my stop.

4.5 something about the way CMQ writes 20-something characters having existential and identity crises has been really hitting these days (┬┬﹏┬┬)

I am wary of books and movies that play around with the concept of time as they can either make me very disappointed and frustrated or they can intrigue and excite me- the former is occurs more often. This book though was the latter! I have so many unanswered questions and some confusion though that I probably will think about for so long.

This was an incredible read. it really felt like a love story to 70’s queer history told in a way that brings it to the present. Casey’s characters are always people you want to root for, regardless of what is going on. She also managed to make it feel like we inhabited all the place in the story and befriended all of the characters. A really fun read!

It was engaging, emotional, sexy, funny, sad, and sweet all the way through. I could pick it up and put it down and easily drop back into the story until I had another spare moment. The characters feel very real. I even teared up a few times! It's been a long time since I've read a book that so beautifully tells a story. I love McQuiston's way with language, and I love the queer representation. It's definitely worth the hype.
