5.0

A delightful queer time-travel romance with a lovable ensemble of characters. It’s fun, sweet, a little sad, a little hopeful, and ultimately a celebration of found family. A little slow at times with some dubious scientific explanations, but a solid read.

This was a great book, but there's only one problem, the book just kind of ended in a weird place.

Two girls,  sitting on a train, making out cuz they're definitely gay.

Fun little mystery. It was quite slow, there were some bits that got picked up and dropped  few times. I did enjoy it for the most part, but it think it would have benefited from some tighter editing. 

Jane was cool and great. I wish she was my gay mom.

Some detailed spicy sex scenes. Some in public. Main character Jane is Asian American, and dealt with racism and homophobia.

This is the second book of the year for the bookclub! 

In the beginning I really liked it, but then during the middle I didn’t love is as much after talking to a friend about the book. But then later on I liked it again, but (!) the end, I’m sorry but it made me disappointed! I had hope for at least five other ways the book could end on that I thought would be a more real end but it was still interesting to read! 

I don’t know why, but I couldn’t picture the characters appearance a lot of the time :( and I mixed up Nico and Was which was annoying! 

It was a nice book to read and discuss with friends about! I didn’t love it but it was still a good book!

Took me exactly 11 hours to read!
