A review by solaceinprose
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

5.0

I want to scream at the top of the mountain on how much I loved this book, but that would require way too much physical effort so let me scream in this review. I FUCKING LOVED THIS BOOK. Man, I thought Red, White, & Royal Blue was going to be hard to top, but Casey absolutely outdid herself with this one. This is one giant love letter to the LGBTQIA+ community, to New York, to found families, to who we were before and who we are now and all the us in between. This book was funny, charming, sweet, hot, and all the adjectives I can come up with. I loved every person in this book, and that doesn't always happen. Every single person in this book brings their own story and life, and it helps shape August into who she becomes. And God, the person she grows into is a beautiful, hopeful, lovely person. RW&RB was my favorite book of 2019, and this book just became my favorite on 2021.

'Myla sighs. "Sometimes the point is to be sad, August. Sometimes you just have to feel it because it deserves to be felt."'

I want this printed and posted on my wall. I don't think I've had a quote from a book hit as hard as this did. How much I needed to read that.
