From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks...

For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone.

Loved it, couldn't wait to see what would happen next

Absolutely loved this. It is so much better than the blurb made it seem.

Short (spoiler free) summary: The female protagonist meets a woman who's become separated from her original timeline in the 1970's and is trapped in the subway forty years later. They fall for each other as the protagonist tries to unravel what happened and free her from her eternal subway ride.

The cast of characters is great. They feel vibrant, alive, and filled with entertaining personality.

When we finally encounter the sex scenes, they don't feel forced or artificial and they're very hot.

I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next. The story lies somewhere between slice-of-life, mystery, and urban fantasy (barely), and I loved every moment.
