One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
I really wanted to like this book! I know Casey MiQuiston is really popular in YA right now but, beyond the gay and POC representation in her books, I really don't know why. The characters were so hollow (I really don't like when writers "tell" me a characters personality instead of showing me—we are told over and over again that August doesn't trust people and is cynical but within 3 chapters she is best friends with Isaiah and Myla and already falling in love?) Maybe this just isn't the type of book for me and is meant for a different audience, but I hope this isnt just Casey dumbing down her writing for YA—teenagers can handle complex characters!
