“Coffee Girl,” Jane says.
“Subway Girl,” August says back.
Wow, this book was… wow. Casey doesn’t disappoints at all. The main character, August, was pretty relatable and her development was beautiful. Jane, the love interest, was amazing to get to know. And the secondary characters stole my heart. I love them. I love every single one of them. This story was wholesome. And they way Casey wrote this romance in a damn subway? Brilliant. The end was not what I was afraid would happen and I’m so happy it didn’t end that way. But I cannot forgive Casey for making us wait 200+ pages for that.
I think the relationship with the mother or, more exactly, how they got through about what happened between August and her mother lacks some development. But it’s fine. But I hate the mother, she is manipulative af.

I would like to preface this by saying that you shouldn't compare this book to red white and royal blue. It's totally different and you'll be disappointed if you go into expecting a rwrb type experience.
With that out of the way, I absolutely fucking loved this book! Casey Mcquiston has done it again! It's romantic, sexy, mysterious, and big hearted. There's a nice heavy dose of found family and a diverse cast. I adore all the characters and I loved the sci-fi/mystery element of the story. If you're a fan of romcoms, found family, and mystery you'll love One Last Stop!
