![]() ![]() With all the fun and camp of a drag show (of which this novel features more than one) but grounded in the tenderness of first love, this time-slip rom-com is an absolute delight. Together with her found family of queer misfits, August sets out to save Jane and find herself. Worse, she’s stuck on the bizarrely malfunctioning Q line, doomed to ride the Subway forever in an amnesiac’s fog-unless August can find a way to rescue her. McQuiston’s joyful sophomore romp mixes all the elements that made Red, White & Royal Blue so. Jane’s circumstances are also far from ordinary: she’s from the 1970s, displaced in time by a mysterious event. Griffin, 16.99 trade paper (432p) ISBN 978-1-250-24-449-9. Description : From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new. But before long she finds herself falling for Jane Su, a punk lesbian she sees everyday on her commute. She is, as her new roommate puts it, “a reformed girl detective,” and she’s jaded and bitter enough to earn the title. At 23, August Landry moves to Brooklyn with few belongings but heaps of emotional baggage from a childhood spent helping her conspiracy theorist mother work to track down a long-missing relative. McQuiston’s joyful sophomore romp mixes all the elements that made Red, White & Royal Blue so outstanding-quirky characters, coming-of-age confusion, laugh-out-loud narration, and hilarious pop-cultural references (“Bella Swan, eat your horny little Mormon heart out”)-into something totally its own. ![]()
