FUCK! I loved this so much. I loved every second. I love queerness and chosen family and finding yourself and love and friendship and belonging. This is truly such a special book. Also…. If you want to get weird on public transit with a curvy, wavy haired, bespectacled bisexual woman… I’m literally right here.

I did not give One Last Stop a favorable review. It just wasn't one for me. I found it hard to relate or even connect with the characters. The writing was great and the storyline could be great. It just missed the mark for me.

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

Who was going to tell me about the low key fantasy/sci-fi element? How has this been hyped on BookTok for ages and I haven’t seen a single mention of that? 
Anyways, it wasn’t terrible but not what I wanted or expected and the writing style isn’t for me.

When I first started this book I thought I would slowly read it/listen to it while working & just take my time. Little did I know, after the first couple chapters, I just couldn’t put it down! I fell in love with August & Jane, & the mystery that is Jane. It was intriguing, & I couldn’t wait for the story to continue! It brought a bit of fantasy into my romance books, instead of the usual romance in my fantasy books; it was amazing!

I don't get what pushes authors to make each chapter in their books last FOREVER.
to be honest, over all wasn't that bad, but the public sex scenes made me sooo uncomfortable and each chapter felt like an eternity.
took me almost a year to finish this book and I can't believe I actually powered through and didn't give up.
this was not for me, but, maybe it is for someone else. great presentation, variety of characters, interesting story.
