Onto my second queer romance by Casey McQuiston and I couldn't be more in love with this book. August is new to the Big Apple and one day on the train bumps into Jane. They strike up a connection. Just one hitch, Jane's stuck on the subway and has been since the 70s.
- The cast of characters are amazing. Of course there's anxiety-ridden August the protagonist and firecracker Jane aka Subway Girl. There are roommates, colleagues, drag queens, all of whom build this sprawling family of characters of all shapes, sizes and orientations.
- The romance is saucy. It starts off slow but soon builds to raunchy. I loved how well McQuiston wrote those scenes and didn't make them feel very or overdone.
- The way this book talks about the history of queer people is amazing. The struggles, the deaths, the riots, the brutality but also the love, the camaraderie, the determination to be and to take up space. It left me with a sense of pride in the community of how far we have come.
Warm, fuzzy and filled with love. Well recommended.
