Overall, I highly recommend this story if you like the girl-lost-in-time trope, found families, mysteries to solve, and sexy sapphic romances! It’s just one of those stories that leave you with a warm, fluffy feeling. Like no matter what, there are people out there who understand you, support you and are cheering for you. Reading this book just makes you feel good, hopeful and a bit more ready to take on the world. Just like with her previous novel, One Last Stop is just one of those feel-good books. The book really payed homage to the LGBTQIA+ activists of the time, the challenges they faced, but also how they paved the way in a lot of ways. I actually learned about the 1973 UpStairs Lounge fire through this book, which was just horrible. With Jane being a Chinese-American lesbian who lived in the seventies, there’s a lot of queer history to unpack. And the friendship and found family aspect between all of them was AMAZING. There’s Wes, the queer Jewish tattoo artist and Isaiah, the accountant/drag queen across the hall.
There’s Myla, the queer Black artist/electrical engineer and her boyfriend Niko, the trans Latino psychic. The found family and merry band of queer roommates.Īs much as I loved August and Jane, I have to say that August’s new flatmates frequently stole the show. Also, this was so sex-positive and I’m here for that! The chemistry between the two was undeniable and I loved all their scenes together. There was definitely attraction at first sight, but I love how it developed from the initial attraction to yearning to love. I loved the romance between August and Jane. The romance that’s equal parts sweet and steamy. Also, Jane is just so cool and kind and awesome and really made me want to buy myself a leather jacket too. So naturally, this provides a mystery August just has to solve. Turns out, Jane is stuck on the subway since the seventies. She always meets her on the subway, in fact. I liked her as a protagonist and seeing her development throughout the story.Īugust meets our heroine Jane on the subway. She’s also a reluctant detective, which makes for a very interesting backstory. Here’s everything I loved about it:Īugust is very distant at first, not really used to making friends but actually pretty lonely. I mean, an f/f romance by Casey McQuiston featuring a girl lost in time? Yes, please! And I’m happy to say it definitely lived up to all my expectations. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all.Ĭasey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.Īfter falling in love with Red White and Royal Blue (one of my all-time favorite reads), I’ve been anticipating One Last stop from the first moment I heard about it. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.īut then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks…įor 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.
