A review by galacticvampire
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

lighthearted slow-paced

2.0

Nothing happens until at least 50% in and every single side-character is more interesting than August.
The moments where the full-cast actually interacted, like in the parties, show the potential this had to be more involving and fun; but they were too far in between to make up for the repetitiveness of August and Jane "case solving" (pages and pages of the first dropping every single important thing in her life to annotate on the other's food preferences)

Some issues I had included: the fingering scene in a PACKED subway was completely unnecessary and is treated as something totally normal?
August completely drops out of her life for months but is apparently a super genius who graduates quicker than she expected. On that topic, she worries about her student debt at least 5 times throughout the book but suddenly in the end she's almost done with it?
That scene where August says that "most people aren't like that anymore!!" about the racist-homophobic comment.... Felt really tone deaf and was never addressed again.
