I mean, is it a perfect book? no. did I devour it anyway? of course, it's filled with queer folks!

One Last Stop is syrupy sweet, hopelessly romantic fuel for the soul. August and Jane are in the cheesiest love, and so are most of the people around them. when you find your person, you become corny as h*ll, it's just science. the romantic in me was giddy with it. I was fully twirling my hair, y'all. 

the time travel is....wibbly wobbly, but I personally don't care that it didn't make perfect sense. the time travel is central but fluid, it can bend to the plot's will and that's fine. I didn't *love* the Jane/Augie connection, felt a little too deus ex machina, but whatever.

my only true complaint is that Jane sort of feels the same level of fleshed out as the side characters. I think she deserved more time front and center, I wanted to learn everything about her. actually no, there's another complaint - please don't get freaky in public, thanks. biohazards are real and also ew.
