Totally biased because if the protagonists weren’t both women I probably wouldn’t have rated it 5 stars. But dammit the last 1/3 of the book really nailed the whole sapphic-fated-epic-once-in-a-lifetime love which is a very specific concept that is near and dear to my heart! The emotions were written so tenderly that it got me in my feels and sucked me in throughout the final act, bumping it from 4 to 5. I’m also pleasantly surprised at the author’s writing. I had my reservations before starting...
this novel will live in my mind rent-free, it is so amazing and wholesome.
After reading this book, I feel cognitively and emotionally weary.👉👈
There is a circle in hell full of all the things I would do to get my hands on this book.
↠ 5 starsThe Q train is a place and a person, and for August Landry it's proof that there is a bit of magic left in the world. Moving to New York City at twenty-three was supposed to prove to her the exact opposite, that the world is indeed just as cynical as she expected; but with a weird new group of roommates, her new job at a 24-hour pancake diner, and the gorgeous stranger who keeps magically reappearing on her morning commute, August is far from being proven right. Subway girl is Jane, and...
You guys! This. Book.One Last Stop is a sapphic chaotic time-loop romance with immaculate junior-millennial vibes and I fell in love with the bonkers story, the incredible characters (not just the MCs but everyone in their lives), the sense of queer community and - last but certainly not least - the giddy firecracker of a romance at its heart. Think of the wildest, happiest, most impossible night of your life, one where you were surrounded by love and touched by luck and everything felt magic an...
Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop follows the cynical August who’s just trying to get by in a new city and Jane, a punk lesbian displaced from the 70s, unable to leave the subway. This F/F time slip rom-com brings a nuanced exploration of queer communities past and present, full of McQuiston’s typical humour, vibrant characters and, of course, a gorgeous romance.As with Red, White and Royal Blue, this book’s strength lay in its characters. McQuiston has this incredible ability to create authentic
reading vlog available now.My biggest issue was August as a protagonist. Most of her actions felt very convenient and the way that the things continued to fall into place for her [ such as never having to do any assignments, to the way her family was intertwined with Jane's story, to the way she was absent from work for long stretches of time and was yet still able to pay her share of the rent and never get fired ] was all too coincidental for me. So much of the book also had the romance feeling...
This book was queer, found-family perfection and I loved it with every single fiber of my being!!!!!!!!! It was the perfect mix of hilarious and heartwarming and horny as heck and I just really, really fucking loved it and I cannot wait for all of you to fall just as much in love with August and Jane as I did. Brb while I swoon to the moon and back bc this book was absolutely EVERYTHING
This book is extremely smart, refreshing, unconventional, exhilarating, truly original with its remarkable historical references, quirky, unique, extremely likable characters! MCs are August: raised like forced Veronica Mars meets Nancy Drew style to search for the disappearance of her missing uncle with her hyper, hoarder, conspiracy theorist mother and Jane: vintage chic, friendly hipster, a true old soul, wait a minute she’s truly 70: stuck in subway and her only desire is returning back to h...
I'm a bisexual nonwhite New Yorker with roots in Flatbush, so if you're not interested in hearing the take of someone who is extremely familiar with the landscape and train line Casey McQuiston appropriated for use in this book, then skip this review. This is going to be a niche review for a niche audience: people who take the Q train, the real Q train, the actual physical space that barely gets a decent physical description once in this entire book but that supposedly was this big source of ins...
For the first time in a multitude of months, I have finished a book not for work or class! This is extremely exciting given one of my New Year’s resolutions is to start reading again! “I swear to God, if a ghost kills me, I’ll haunt the shower. You guys will never have hot water again.” One Last Stop is an excellent romance between August, a bi former amateur detective recently moved to New York in search of a home, and Jane, a Chinese lesbian displaced in time from the 1970s. I think the str...
