One Last Stop

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. She can t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. But then, there s this gorgeous girl on the train. Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August s day when she needed it most. August s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there s one big problem: Jane doesn t just look like an old school punk rocker. She s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it s time to start believing in some things, after all.
