Rating: 4/5 stars
Summary: August has recently moved to New York and on her regular commute to college aboard the Q Train, she consistently sees the mysterious (and drop dead gorgeous) Jane. August later finds out that Jane is from the 1970s, stuck in a time loop, and August needs to use everything she's tried to leave in her own past to save her.
This was such an addicting book that centred around such a unique concept, I had so much fun reading this and I definitely think it’s worthy of all the praise I’ve seen it get on Bookstagram. It felt like a mix of romance, contemporary AND fantasy - with a touch of historical too! I’ve never read anything like this and it was such a stand-out book to me for this very reason.
I’ve said all I need to about the plot. Don’t go into this expecting anything less because Casey does not hesitate in giving everything I’ve detailed above AND MORE. All of this alongside an absolutely brilliant cast of characters made for such an incredible reading experience. Each and every character was really brought to life, it was so easy to forget I was reading a book and not actually sat in Billy’s with a plateful of pancakes in front of me, listening to the group’s banter. It sounds ridiculous, but there are some books I read where I feel like I know the characters so personally that I actually feel like their friend. This is one of those books.
There is so much more I could say about this book but I think the world of the wonderful August, Jane, Niko, Myla, Wes, Isiah, Winfield and Lucie deserves to be experienced first-hand by everyone (also, yay for Lucy with an ‘ie’ representation! This Lucie is very happy to see her name spelt CORRECTLY)😉. Just go and read this. Seriously! Thank you so much again to Pride Book Tours for the amazing opportunity to read this incredible book and for gifting me my copy.
