Chubby femme bisexual from Louisiana meets effortlessly cool butch Chinese American, except the latter is from the 1970s and is stuck on the subway.  Both August and Jane have bounced around the country looking for a home (and an identity), only to meet in New York in what should have been impossible circumstances.  August had an unconventional childhood surrounded by a neverending investigation into a missing relative, and Jane survived the violence against queer people as a revolutionary in the gay liberation movement.  Of course they fall in love.  With a very diverse cast of characters and a race to save a neighborhood landmark, One Last Stop explores community and queer magic in more ways than one.

this was one of the most refreshing and special books i’ve read in a long long time. i feel like the whole cast of characters are my own friends, the whole story and people gave me that warm fuzzy feeling inside. i loved rwarb and this book was the most wonderful follow up. as a bisexual woman, the queer joy and positivity in this book means more than i can express - a sexually positive, diverse, unbury your gays book is exactly what i needed. i also love that this book was about young adults living their life happily while simultaneously not having their shit together - i love love love reading about this as someone at the same stage in life. the magical and time travel aspects of this book also flowed perfectly, they were believable, thoroughly explained and well researched and thought through, they don’t take you out of the story at all which is great for a low-fantasy book set in the present day! overall if you’re looking for a wonderful ride with a beautiful cast of characters then pls read this book - it has my heart <3

Love love the ghost butch, and many of the background characters, but I'm not into the main character very much. The ending was sweet, but it lowkey felt like a betrayal of

Jane's character for her to stay in August's time. It's a fabulous ending for August, but it's really really tragic for Jane, and it's lightly addressed but Jane loses everything and everyone she's ever known except for August.

I started this book three months ago, at what would turn out to be the tail end of a long-ass reading slump, and that's a shame because it deserves to be read in one fell swoop, not me picking it up where I left off having forgotten details. so I'd like to reread it someday and take it all in at once. this felt much more grounded to me than McQuiston's first book, Red, White & Royal Blue (which was something I complained about at the time in my review of the ARC), which is kind of funny because that one was ostensibly grounded in reality while this one has time travel. but I'm really glad because it serves the novel very well, and McQuiston is good at grounded versus the overwrought antics of RWRB (there's a bit of that in here but it's minimally used for humor, as it should be, not leading the story). this is what all romance novels should strive to be, and I say that as someone who enjoys romance. so fully realized that the romance serves the characters instead of the other way around.

I don’t know how to feel about a sci-fi romance like this, if I’m being honest. The premise felt unrealistic and a bit difficult to wrap my head around with all the space time continuum stuff going on but the characters are beautifully written, unique, and loveable as all hell. The love stories are sweet & strong. The found family in this book is so genuine and real. I just wish the main thread of the story wasn’t about traveling through time.
