I am wary of books and movies that play around with the concept of time as they can either make me very disappointed and frustrated or they can intrigue and excite me- the former is occurs more often. This book though was the latter! I have so many unanswered questions and some confusion though that I probably will think about for so long.

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.

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.

📖 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📚♥️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Endlich, ENDLICH!, kann ich euch mein Highlight dieses Sommers vorstellen. Dieses Buch hat mir meine Schwester zum Geburtstag geschenkt und ich habe es innerhalb kürzester Zeit verschlungen. 
Die Protagonistinnen sind unglaublich sympathisch. Da ist August: eine totale Realistin, desillusioniert, verschlossen, introvertiert und ängstlich. Sie studiert in New York und hilft nebenbei in einem Café aus. Jane ist das genaue Gegenteil von ihr: extrovertiert, laut, rebellisch und wild. Sie ist ziemlich cool, wenn ihr mich fragt. Wie die beiden sich kennenlernen? Durch die New Yorker U-Bahn. Jane leiht August einen Schal und danach sieht August Jane ständig. Immer dann, wenn sie in die Linie Q einsteigt. Totaler Zufall, nicht? Und so kommen die beiden ins Reden und können sich näher kennen lernen. Und August ist begeistert von Jane. Und gleichzeitig verunsichert: Wie kann es sein, dass Jane einfach immer in der U-Bahn ist, wenn auch August einsteigt? Geht da alles mit rechten Dingen zu?
Ich sag's euch ganz ehrlich: Wenn ich die Möglichkeit hätte, würde ich mich mit beiden Protas gerne anfreunden. Und eigentlich mit vielen anderen der Figuren auch. Die sind alle so unglaublich liebenswürdig! Da sind so viele spannende Details an den Figuren und an ihrer Umgebung, die es zu entdecken gibt. Bei Büchern wie diesem wünsche ich mir manchmal, dass ich einfach mal langsamer lesen könnte. Vielleicht sehe ich dann ja noch mehr von dieser Welt?
Keine Ahnung, ob man das hier jetzt gemerkt hat, aber ich liebe dieses Buch. Es war eines meiner Sommerhighlights und wird wahrscheinlich sogar in der Liste meiner Jahreshighlights aufscheinen. Ich wünschte, ich könnte es nochmal zum ersten Mal lesen.
Mein Fazit? Eine absolute Leseempfehlung. Dieses Buch ist unglaublich schön und ihr solltet es alle bei euch im Regal stehen haben.
