This book is just fun. I had such a good time reading it!
I was skeptical at the length (after all, the premise didn’t seem to need a book too much beyond 300ish pages, yknow?) but I didn’t even mind because any “lulls” in the plot were filled with fun banter by diverse and hilarious characters. I actually found my self laughing out loud.
This is my first read by this author and I am absolutely picking up the rest of her books. I loved Jane and August, her witty roommates, the Queen next door, Noodle the Poodle, the mystery of Jane, August’s relationship with her mom. It’s a fantastically fleshed out, found-family story that I haven’t stopped thinking about days later.
There’s a perfect description in the acknowledgments… if “a lesbian time travel subway romcom” sounds intriguing to you, then you must pick up One Last Stop!
