Casey 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.
Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all. 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. But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train.
And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. 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. 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. itself) and a sultry-comic seduction on public transit (rivaling the iconic Risky Business scene) will have listeners hooked." - BookPage, Starred Review "Narrator Natalie Naudus brings a quiet intensity to this genre-crossing audiobook.the perfect fit for a tale of queer joy, first love, and self-discovery." - AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop listeners in their tracks.

Adorable.īut they aren’t the only two characters in this book, and I have to say: I would read a book about every single side-character in One Last Stop. Both of them are realistically flawed, but often in painfully relatable ways. Together, their chemistry is amazing and they bring out the best qualities in each other.
CharactersĪugust is an incredible protagonist with a great journey, and Jane is the perfect love interest for her. From the mystery to the romance, One Last Stop is absolutely addictive. It did take me around 50-80 pages to get fully invested, but once I was in, I couldn’t put it down. Like Casey McQuiston’s first book, there’s plenty of quotable moments, and I feel that their writing has definitely developed even more since Red, White and Royal Blue. This book is funny and heartwarming, the writing adding humor and relatability to each moment. If you haven’t- then what are you doing here, go read it! Or maybe read One Last Stop first. If you’ve read Red, White and Royal Blue, then you have a good idea of what to expect with the writing of One Last Stop.
