"One Last Stop" is a novel written by Casey McQuiston and was first published in 2021. It consists of 17 chapters, acknowledgements and information about the author.
The plot of this, though mainly a romance, was different than other romance novels, because it also managed to include a kind of sci-fi subplot which did this book really good. It managed to keep me hooked from start to beginning thanks to the very interesting storyline.
The characters in this book are everything I could've wished for! There are so many great characters, all with their own personality and way of living. Furthermorw, the chemistry between each of the characters and how they interacted with each other was just adorable.
Also, can we talk about how much representation we got in this book? There is a bisexual and plus-sized main character. We got AAPI and BIPOC characters and LGBTQIA+ people in this book.
Going forward, the writing wasn't that special or difficult. But that isn't necessarily a bad point, because that way the book is easier to read for non-native English speakers/readers. It also helped to keep my mind focused on the story while reading.
A thing I would like to add is that I really liked the execution of found family in this book. It was implemented very well into the overall story and had me sobbing because I totally love found family.
So, all in all, this book was very good and I really liked it and can and will recommend that to my friends and followers on social media.
