Whoa!  Interesting story.   A cynical girl moves to New York City sort of looking for all the great things New York City promises but actually not believing a word of it and putting b.s. on her label for New York until...she meets the woman of her dreams she didn't even realize she had on the subway.   The gal is on the same car, same seat every day, funny same time that August rides, even sometimes late at night or early in the morning, even different trains she is always there.   Finally after ogling her for what seemed eons, August starts broaching conversation.  It blossoms into a love story between August and punk-rocker subway rider, Jane.  Funny, her outfit looks so authentic not like wanna be punkers.   So authentic in fact, Jane still listens to cassettes!  Whaaaat???   Must be a vintage things or is it?   The two gals start doing experiments and it turns out no matter where Jane gets off the subway, the next thing you know she is right back on.   What is up with the universe?   A good story with magical twists and turns.  I would recommend this one to middle schoolers on up.
