Really unique and immersive! I used to live in NYC and loved how gritty and real this book felt as a depiction of the city, while also being very loving. The found family trope is perfection.

While I had a good time reading this book, it's not one of my favorites. August and Jane were cute, but I liked August's friends turned found family more.

Heartwarming and funny. Felt that it was sometimes a bit tough keeping track of all the side characters, but perhaps that was partially because I listened to the audio? I thought I was really going to enjoy the time displacement aspect of the story but the setup just didn't quite work for me.

While this book started off pretty slow for me, by the second half I had become so attached to the characters and their storylines that I genuinely couldn’t put it down! I typically don’t prefer romances centered around young adults because I find the people unrelatable and the relationships insignificant. However, the author explored various relationship dynamics in this book to develop depth in these characters that very quickly grew on me. After all, what’s not to love about a big queer found family?! 🌈  The time travel component also helped to raise the stakes, which had me rooting for our protagonists amidst an unpredictable ending.

I started enjoying this much more near the end, I think. It got more emotional and the writing became a tad more lyrical, and I liked that part. I'm happy I was able to predict some of the plot twists, I think they were well constructed in a sense that they were hinted at but not stated too obviously (like, an attentive reader would catch onto them).
I didn't *completely and absolutely fall in love* with the entire cast of characters as most other people seem to, but I did end up liking them a lot.
Also. I can excuse sex on an empty subway cart. but sex on a PACKED subway??? thats crazy😭😭😭
