We follow August as she moves to the city, falls in love, and allows herself to be drawn out of her self-isolation and into a supportive queer community.
We meet Jane, the mysterious punk who is somehow always on the same train as August, and when August describes her devastating cheekbones, we nod in understanding.
For me it's the found family. Specifically, the queer community who just immediately pulls Augist in and simply ignores her initial resistance. Her roommates don't just treat her like a roommate. As soon as she moves in she's a part of their group, their family.
And then there's the mystery. Who is Jane, why won't she go out with August, and how is it that she's ALWAYS on the same train as August every single time??
It's a love letter to the queer community, with well rounded characters and a welcoming community.
10/10 stars, you should read this book.
