Its impossible to explain what I liked and didn’t like about this book without major plot spoilers, so I’ll just say this: if you’re looking for a run of the mill rom-com / queer love story this is NOT it. If you’re open to some slight supernatural flair and suspension of disbelief, you may really enjoy this. I’d liken this most closely to “Just Like Heaven” with Reese Witherspoon, not the same storyline at all but you have to be willing to be okay with some bending of reality. 

I never read the synopsis of a book or any detailed reviews before picking it up, so maybe people often pick this up knowing full well what they’re getting into. I was not one of those people. About 25% into the book some big things change the trajectory of the story and I had to put it down for a few days and readjust my expectations before returning. I’m so glad I did. What a sweet, unique story with a lot of really positive, but not glorifying, representation. I can honestly say I’ve never read anything like it before and that, in itself, earns some major points.

One Last Stop is the perfect sophomore release by Casey McQuiston. While Red, White, and Royal Blue saw the fast and risky relationship of two queer men, One Last Stop features two queer women will-they-won't-they-ing for a heart wrenchingly numerous amount of chapters while the threads of mystery get ever more intriguing. But don't fret: The heightenings and culminations in the second half of the book make the heartache oh so worth it. I recommend this book to anyone in need of a realistic and hopeful romance. And although this book reads like young adult fiction, there are some certainly not young adult scenes. For appropriate readers, though, it adds to the investment in these women.

Casey McQuiston has once again made my sad lesbian heart happy once again. The fact that this one was wlw made it even more relatable (for me) than Red White & Royal Blue - both are amazing though. Also, I've finally found someone I can use to describe my type, because It's literally Jane.
