When August comes to New York, she was hoping to start a new life. At the same time, she wanted to erase two things from her mind i.e magic does not exist, and the second thing about true love which does not exist in the real world. For months August kept on working in a robotic manner and she was just exhausted by that routine.
The boredom was actually killing her and she might have committed suicide if she hadn’t met Jane in the subway. The girl was so much appealing that she attracted August right at the moment when she saw her. Perhaps August was in the most dejected mood in her life when she met Jane and everything completely changed after that moment.
August got a kind of hope from Jane’s existence and she wasn’t able to think of anything else afterward. Casey McQuiston has added attraction between the two girls in an extraordinary way. There is something between them that they cannot explain in front of each other.
August also thinks that there is something peculiar about Jane and then she finds her connection to different eras and it seems that Jane is in need of serious help. Jane has been existing in the world since 1870 and she is in need of someone who could save her. Natalie Naudus has narrated both of the female characters so listen carefully so that the characters don’t get mixed in your mind. I Kissed Shara Wheeler and Red, White & Royal Blue are also on these kinds of themes which are not for the children to understand at an early age.
