Quick read, but I was left with a lot more questions than I would have expected. I love the use of graffiti, and the limitations Laura and Jonas face—hard to have much of a romance when you can only find the other person on a single subway car. I don't mind being asked to suspend disbelief, but...well, doesn't mean I don't want explanations. What was Max's role in all of this? Why Laura and Jonas specifically? Laura's deception at the end...smart, maybe, but also leaves a whole 'nother set of questions regarding the present day.
It's intriguing, but I also didn't mind so much when the book ended. Without some more answers to the why questions, the story felt a bit too untethered for me.

I'm still undecided on the rating as it was an odd book.
The aspect of the story was interesting, but it was really slow and dull.
I love books with time travel in, but this one just fell flat for me and was sadly a disappointment :/
On the plus side, the cover is gorgeous and I did like the general plot of the story.
Sadly it just wasn't for me.
But it may be the right book for you :)

A unique love story across time. Writing isn't bad, characters are pretty fleshed out, it's a decent YA romance novel.

2 teenagers meet on a subway train, but one is from 1973 and the other, present day. Are they time travelers, is it the train, or is it fate?
This book has a lot of potential, with interesting family dinamics and a good look into New York art. But the execution was a little off for me.
I was impressed by the ending though, not what I expected

This could've been a great and cheesy love story if only the characters were older. They were 14, but they acted as if they were 17, 18. (Slight spoiler alert here)They even slept together, at 14! That just made me very uncomfortable and annoyed.
Other than that i really enjoyed the descriptions of the NYC subway, it made me want to go back to NYC :)
