this was highly recommended in a lot of lesbian smut posts. the sex was not very detailed and vulgar (which i want!). the build up because of their chemistry is the hottest part (2/5 smut ⭐️). but aside from the lack of filth, the story is very well written and the sci-fi is interesting. the ending had me gooped ngl. definitely more of a slow burn love story but the outcome is worth the wait.

I kinda looked forward to reading this, but I don't feel completely satisfied with it.
The first half of the book felt really slow and uneventful, and I just wanted to slap a few people. Even the second half didn't really blow my mind, but I like how everything started making sense and finally saw some character growth.
Both MC were okay. They were fun, they had growth, and by the end of the story, they seemed so much more comfortable with themselves, which I adore.

I love the found family trope and how August found some awesome people to have around her. I love the other characters more than the MC...
Of course, the contemporary-si-fi theme was interesting. I wish it was more scientific details... I guess.. idk. But it was an interesting time travel kind of thing.

Another thing that was really uncomfortable for me was how much and intense PDA was happening...

Crying happy lesbian tears as I write this review since I just finished reading (mind my "just finished reading" bias). One Last Stop is such a lovely and wonderful book. It was silly and relatable and emotional and so human. Any serious topic it approached, it did with grace and realness. This is the second Casey McQuinston book I've picked up and then finished within 24 hours. Her writing isn't ever too flowery or too straight forward, and although there were a few times I felt like I was reading a Tumblr interaction in terms of dialogue, it was never not good. If you want a sapphic romance that was written with pride and admiration for queer culture, this is the book for you. I don't care how unrealistic some aspects (aside from the whole stuck in time bit) of this book were, it made me so happy to read queer people living happy in their skin. The actual relationship was really nicely made too and anytime I thought McQuinston was going to pull a trope I didn't like (

like a third act breakup that thank god didn't happen- we love healthy communication

), she would steer it into a much better plot point or conversation. I think I'm rambling at this point but seriously, if you want an upbeat, sapphics are allowed to be happy, queer people are amazing and resilient kind of book, this one is for you.
