A cute lesbian read with a twist of time-travel mystery. Everything I love in a book.

If you’re looking for a mysterious sapphic romance with a colorful fun cast of characters, One Last Stop is your book. From the moment we met August and her new roommates, I knew I was going to fall in love, and I hadn’t even met Jane yet! This book is full of witty lines, funny moments, tearful confessions, and, in traditional wlw fashion, lots of obvious mutual pining confused with female friendship. You’re not only sucked into the impossible romance of August and Jane, but you fall in love with all the quirky side characters, leaving you wanting more. The only thing I’d change is how I am wanting so much more!

went into it blind, found myself pleasantly surprised. didn’t expect the sci-fi elements and i really did enjoy them, though i thought they could’ve benefitted from more explanation. i also think august should have faced more realistic consequences for her actions. even if things get patched up quickly, some consequences would be better than no consequences at all.

overall, i enjoyed the characters and the plot, wanted to know how it ended, and wanted everyone to get a happy ending, which is really what i wanted to get out of it, so i’m pleased!

bonus points for almost everyone actually getting a happy ending!

I know relatability to a character isn’t everything but there is something special in connecting with a character and their experiences, especially when it isn’t one you’ve gotten to see depicted before. It’s just nice to read about a 23yo who doesn’t have shit worked out, who is afraid of graduating, who has no experience in love, who’s working for the first time, living in a big city away from all she knows—that isolation, being miles away from anyone who not only knows you but also /cares/ about you. Being broke af, being tempted to skip class on days that start off wrong or just wanting to spend some more time with friends.  Making friends, especially close friends, when you’ve never really had any and don’t know how (I absolutely adore the found family in this book).
Moving to a city and having to take public transport everyday—falling in love with a stranger over a train ride and forgetting they exist once you alight. 
Having a crush and just, a very deep infatuation for the first time—gosh August and Jane were so cute and the audiobook narrator for this book emotes August’s inner thoughts phenomenally. 

I loved this book! I don’t typically choose to read contemporary romance but this one has a (paranormal-ish) twist! And the mystery was good and the character relationships & friendships were 💛💛💛 & I cried so much in the last quarter 😭

What an original story!!
At first I thought it was just another “girl meets girl on the train and they flirt while girl A gets over her insecurities”.
But no!!! So much mystery! 
The romance build up was actually believable and deliciously paced!!
August’s found family was adorable and sweet!
I loved this book way more than I thought I would. It was engaging from the start!

📖 One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston Book Review 📖

9th book of January 2022 and 9th of the year: 

Another amazing book by a favorite author! I laughed my butt off throughout the entire book, fell in love with all of the characters SO quickly, and loved all of the representation and the queer found family aspect in it. I fully want to read an entire book series based on Jane’s life, and I also can’t wait to start the author’s newest book! Some author-provided TWs are (on page) drinking, light drug use(weed), semi-public sex, sexual content, exploration of depression and anxiety, memory loss and cognitive issues, familial estrangement, familial death, grief, missing persons, implied PTSD, and (off-page/past/alluded to) homophobic violence and hate speech, police violence, the AIDS crisis, racism, childhood neglect, arson, and a historic hate crime resulting in loss of life📚♥️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
