With all the fun and camp of a drag show (of which this novel features more than one) but grounded in the tenderness of first love, this time-slip rom-com is an absolute delight. Three things we love about One Last Stop by caseymcquiston: 1 It has a paranormal twist. Together with her found family of queer misfits, August sets out to save Jane and find herself. When August meets Jane on the subway, she immediately falls for her, but theres one problem: Jane is displaced in time. Worse, she’s stuck on the bizarrely malfunctioning Q line, doomed to ride the Subway forever in an amnesiac’s fog-unless August can find a way to rescue her. Jane’s circumstances are also far from ordinary: she’s from the 1970s, displaced in time by a mysterious event. Her skeptical voice pulled me in from the very beginning and kept me captivated until the very last page. First of all, let’s talk about August, our cynical protagonist. It was quirky, fun, charming, and definitely had its fair share of serious moments, but it was perfect. Casey McQuistons One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible. linktr.ee/caseymcquiston Born January 21 Joined January 2011. One Last Stop was everything a contemporary romance should be. But before long she finds herself falling for Jane Su, a punk lesbian she sees everyday on her commute. Maybe its time to start believing in some things, after all.
She is, as her new roommate puts it, “a reformed girl detective,” and she’s jaded and bitter enough to earn the title.
She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many. One Last Stop is an electrifying romance that synapses into the dreamy 'Hot Person Summer' kind of story you wish you were a part of. At 23, August Landry moves to Brooklyn with few belongings but heaps of emotional baggage from a childhood spent helping her conspiracy theorist mother work to track down a long-missing relative. For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. McQuiston’s joyful sophomore romp mixes all the elements that made Red, White & Royal Blue so outstanding-quirky characters, coming-of-age confusion, laugh-out-loud narration, and hilarious pop-cultural references (“Bella Swan, eat your horny little Mormon heart out”)-into something totally its own.
