A delightful queer time-travel romance with a lovable ensemble of characters. Itโ€™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.

im writing this review actively still crying if that helps you gauge how i feel about this book /pos. oh my GOODDDD AAIUUGHHHGGGH. WAAAHH.  i  just love gay people so much!!!!!!!!!!!! 
i had a vague idea of the plot when i picked this up just from tiktok osmosis but i got only a little bit in and i was like oh lol i must have been thinking of a different book they're both normal theres no scifi PSYCH i got tricked so even tho i knew the plot at the beginning very loosely i was able to get the plot twist authentically 
casey mcquiston is incredible at what she does.
 perfectly written, i cared so much about literally every character, not only was the romance good (AND BOY WAS THE ROMANCE GOOD I LOVE THEM) all the other plot lines (as well as side character romances) converged perfectly and made sense alongside each other, and they also didn't feel like just a backdrop for the romance. obviously the romance is sort of the main part, so they got a little pushed to the side but they were all still so interesting on their own. 
sometimes romance can be a little cringey for me (+ second hand embarrassment is common) but there definitely wasn't too much in this book even though there was a little the rest was good enough to ignore. 
every character is vibrant and real and just the power of community in this is so beautiful. i think i sobbed for like the last like hundred pages just with the cumulation of everything happening. 
every book i cry at gets five stars but honestly i think it would have gotten it regardless. summer read which is impressive enough but i literally read this AT WORK. i was locked in fr i was so hyped to get home tonight so i could finish it. 
yet another sapphic love story on my 5 star list who am i becoming

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.

๐‘…๐‘’๐“‹๐’พ๐‘’๐“Œ: This shit is so cute. Literally fucking giggling out loud, dying on the floor of laughter, and kicking my feet. Honestly, I love that most of the characters are members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Itโ€™s nice to read something different than what seems to be the typical. It was so funny and lighthearted but also made me feel all the feels. All the characters are amazing. I feel Noodle the Poodle deserves to be mentioned. The lovely drag queen Annie Depressant also deserves a mention here because honestly the name is enough.
