Seriously, I was totally and delightfully unprepared for what I was about to read. I was thrown off from the rom-com vibes I expected (and they are there, of course!) by the appearance of so many sci-fi vibes. I’m not sharing anything more than that because I really want everyone to be as unprepared as I was. I savored my experience reading One Last Stop, because it surprised me and I miss being surprised by books, which bookstagram kind of takes away from on occasion.
One thing that I will say about McQuiston’s books, now that I’ve read both, is that there are always parts where I feel like I’ve missed something. The writing and character development sometimes happens so quickly that something really major will happen, I’ll be confused about how we got there, and then I have to go back and double-check the plot to make sure I’ve kept up. It’s not necessarily a negative thing, just something I’ve noticed. Makes me feel like I need to read closer!
If you’ve read this one, let me know what you think! This is barely a review but I would hate to spoil something joyful for other readers and there are so many gems to discover in this one. One Last Stop by Casey McQuinston is out on June 1!

I fell in love with all the side characters in this book. From August's coworkers to her roommates, this book is full of the most loveable characters.
