Reviews with content warning for Violence - One Last Stop

A New Girl vibe + A Schitt's Creek cast + Lesbians = one happy reader. I grinned, giggled, laughed out loud, and stifled reactions in public because of this book. I felt some type of way about reading certain scenes at work and kept reading anyway because I was not hitting pause on this story for love or money. Pancake Billy's House of Pancakes was a magical setting with a feeling that I can only dream of transposing onto my own stories, and the characters were either helplessly lovable or comically despisable.

The ending felt a bit self-indulgent, but I'm willing to let that slide because of how enjoyable the whole reading experience was.

This was an incredible world to get lost in, especially during Pride month. I'm glad to have spent time in it.

I found this book to be a fun read, but too long. It could have benefitted from stronger editing, potentially one or two fewer side plots would have helped the pacing. Overall this is a cute love story with flourishes of the supernatural. I found the characters to be really endearing, and the sex scenes were quite well written. I’m not 100% sure I’d recommend it - this is more of a skim than a deep read to me.

Casey McQuiston has once again made my sad lesbian heart happy once again. The fact that this one was wlw made it even more relatable (for me) than Red White & Royal Blue - both are amazing though. Also, I've finally found someone I can use to describe my type, because It's literally Jane.

Love how this book shows how amazing is a queer community, I did not expect that the book about time traveling will be interesting. But it is. I love some of the characters. But I wish the ending was a bit darker, but overall it's still a good book and very informative.

It took me quite long to finish this book because, although it was relatively short, it was slow paced and had long chapters. However, I still enjoyed this book and the writing style Casey McQuinston used. The cast of characters was very diverse, which I loved, and they were portrayed in a very real and respectful way. I was recommended this book by a friend and I am glad I read it because I am always down to expand my TBR with sapphic books. I felt satisfied with the ending, and it really made the book for me. The only reason I rated it less than 4 stars is because I am not a big fan of slow paced books (just my personal taste).
