Rated 3 stars for a cool plot with a cast of 2 dimensional people.

This book taught me that choco chip bagels exist.

This is the story of Lonely Girl who gets dropped in among perfectly quirky characters, and she is amazed the story is about her and not them. I'm fine with plain characters, but this book seemed to lean on how unique each person was when they only had 2 things going for them max. Most of the book was the development of these characters, but I still wanted more.

I also did audiobook this and I think the narrator's voiced could be playing a role in my perception.

The plot of this book was really cool, and I did enjoy the side quests and background happenings.

YES YES YES YES. Thank god for Casey McQuiston who writes romance books for the gays and the gays only. I loved Red, White, and Royal Blue, and One Last Stop was just as lovable. The novel follows August who has recently
loved to New York, and her relationship with Jane a girl from the 70s who is stuck on the Q train.

The concept may seem a little out there, but the relationships and romance are STELLAR. I loved this cute and heartwarming romance that (thank god) had the best happy ending.
