August, a 23 year old cynical college student, moves to NYC in the hopes of finding some solace. She’s not sure how moving into an apartment with 3 other roommates and working at a diner will help her achieve it… nor is her chance meeting with a gorgeous girl on her subway commute. As she gets to know Subway girl August learns Jane is displaced in time and she’ll have to use her wits to help Jane and to finally help herself.

All of you have been raving about McQuiston’s books and it was about time I read one. One Last Stop’s paranormal angle was entirely unexpected as I never did read the synopsis, but I slowly found myself getting sucked into the story and all the characters. So far this year these were the most loveable characters I’ve read. Although the book was just a tad long for me I did enjoy it on many levels.

Behind the contemporary setting, the romance, the paranormal, the magic.. this book was a true accolade to the queer community. From the hardships the LGBTQ+ community went through and continues to go through, to the joy and celebration of the queer community, One Last Stop dug into the soul of what Pride means. This book tugged at my heart and please know that my page will always be a safe space for all LGBTQ+ and marginalized peoples.

Thank you @raincoastbooks @stmartinspress for sending a copy my way in exchange for an honest review, 4✨. Now this just means I need to get to Red White and Royal Blue and I Kissed Sara Wheeler.
