One Last Stop falls into a genre that I usually can’t quite get myself to enjoy: Somewhat far-fetched science fiction. I’d previously read one of Casey McQuiston’s books, namely Red, White and Royal Blue and absolutely adored it, and so I thought it was a good opportunity to discover some more of their writing.

What I enjoy most is the way that the main character struggles with this issue, and the way her emotions are depicted, not only in relation to Subway Girl, but also in relation to her hilarious queer friends, her chaotic and possibly not-very-good mother, and the ever-present dread of having to go to University instead of hanging out with the girl on the train for all eternity.

Please read this book, especially if you enjoy the sci-fi aspect more than me. Which I’m sure you do, given I ignored it as best I could.
