I was not expecting the paranormal aspect in One Last Stop。 This sounds like a cute romcom， so I was all in！Cynical August moves to New York City and starts serving tables at a 24 hour pancake diner。 But then she meets a girl on the train - Jane。 Except Jane isn’t a normal girl。 She’s stuck in time。This was a cute book and I really liked August and her growth。 Especially her contentious relationship with her mother。I definitely found there were too many characters in this book。 Maybe it was beca I was not expecting the paranormal aspect in One Last Stop。 This sounds like a cute romcom， so I was all in！Cynical August moves to New York City and starts serving tables at a 24 hour pancake diner。 But then she meets a girl on the train - Jane。 Except Jane isn’t a normal girl。 She’s stuck in time。This was a cute book and I really liked August and her growth。 Especially her contentious relationship with her mother。I definitely found there were too many characters in this book。 Maybe it was because I listened to this as an audiobook that I couldn’t keep track of all the characters。I also found some scenes were dragged out and could have been shortened a little bit。All of that said， this was a fun romcom and mystery to solve with August and Jane。 I also had a mad craving for pancakes while listening to this！I enjoyed the narrator Natalie Naudus， who had a great voice and perfect pacing for this book。I listened to One Last Stop thanks to an ALC from NetGalley and MacMillan Audio。 。。。more

This book。 It's found family， and deep love stories， and true friendship， and a psychic， and a drag queen， and a boy who feels like a disappointment， and a subway car。 It's relationships。 It's love。 It's making a home when you've never had one before。 I think one of the coolest parts about this book is the slow way it makes you feel like you're allowed to live your life the way you want to。 It's about seeing people being happy， and being themselves， and looking at people who live their lives in This book。 It's found family， and deep love stories， and true friendship， and a psychic， and a drag queen， and a boy who feels like a disappointment， and a subway car。 It's relationships。 It's love。 It's making a home when you've never had one before。 I think one of the coolest parts about this book is the slow way it makes you feel like you're allowed to live your life the way you want to。 It's about seeing people being happy， and being themselves， and looking at people who live their lives in spite of the way other people might feel， and I love it， love it， love it。 。。。more

This book was so painfully slow that I finally just gave up on it and stopped reading around 50%。 Maybe I'm just not a reader who connects with this author。 I found her other book （RW&RB） to be overly frenetic in its pacing。 Her characters in this book are likable， but the pace was just way off for me。I received a gifted copy of this title in exchange for an honest review。 This book was so painfully slow that I finally just gave up on it and stopped reading around 50%。 Maybe I'm just not a reader who connects with this author。 I found her other book （RW&RB） to be overly frenetic in its pacing。 Her characters in this book are likable， but the pace was just way off for me。I received a gifted copy of this title in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

First of all， thank you so much to netgalley and MacMillian audio for my arc。“Over 8 and a half million people in New York and only one subway girl， lost as easily as she’s found。”•I have been out of my mind excited for the release of Casey McQuiston’s second novel， One Last Stop。 August is our main lady - one that just moved to New York， dragging with her a jaded outlook on life and no sense of belonging。 She moves into an apartment held up by tape and the ingenuity of some lovely characters an First of all， thank you so much to netgalley and MacMillian audio for my arc。“Over 8 and a half million people in New York and only one subway girl， lost as easily as she’s found。”•I have been out of my mind excited for the release of Casey McQuiston’s second novel， One Last Stop。 August is our main lady - one that just moved to New York， dragging with her a jaded outlook on life and no sense of belonging。 She moves into an apartment held up by tape and the ingenuity of some lovely characters and August’s life slowly fills with people that care for her。 During a commute， she’s the recipient of an unexpected kindness from a hot subway stranger。 August can’t seem to get her out of her mind。 We find out she’s a punk rocker out of time， trapped on a train for the last 50 years and August makes it her mission to help this stranger remember her life。 As a cishet person， nothing makes me happier than reading about queer love， but I acknowledge it’s an experience I will never truly understand。 From a cishet perspective， I need you to know just how beautiful this story was to me。 It was full of a diverse cast of characters I would love to be part of - bi， gay and trans， bipoc rep - and an incredible sense of belonging and home for those characters。 McQuiston’s ability to tackle huge topics in a single sentence is incredibly powerful - she drops in references to things like being gay in the 1970’s and how finding out a friend is trans changes everything and nothing。 It makes her books magical and this one is no different。 I was incredibly happy with this audiobook experience as well。 The narrator’s voice is like butter - calming， gorgeous， genuine and gentle。 Her character voices were entertaining and I felt like she truly did McQuiston’s lovely writing justice。 It was almost *too* calming， tho， but I found listening to it at 1。25 was perfect。 Red， White， and Royal Blue will always be one of my favorite books， but this is something entirely different。 It is so wholly its own story， it’s hard to compare the two。 It would be a disservice to your reading experience to think of One Last Stop in terms of RWWB， and whether you liked it or not， and I would suggest giving One Last Stop a try。 。。。more

What do I say about this book？ I’ve slowly been reading it over a couple months。 Overall， I enjoyed it。 There were moments it dragged。 That’s when I would put it down and come back to it later。 It didn’t take very long for me to realize this is a book that you just don’t know what is going to happen next。 I did like that it was different。 This book is full of interesting characters that I would love to meet and be friends with。 It’s definitely an unexpected adventure that I’m glad I went on。 I v What do I say about this book？ I’ve slowly been reading it over a couple months。 Overall， I enjoyed it。 There were moments it dragged。 That’s when I would put it down and come back to it later。 It didn’t take very long for me to realize this is a book that you just don’t know what is going to happen next。 I did like that it was different。 This book is full of interesting characters that I would love to meet and be friends with。 It’s definitely an unexpected adventure that I’m glad I went on。 I voluntarily read an early copy。 。。。more

I liked the plot of the story， it was the characters that drove me crazy。 Granted， August is a virgin who seems to have never learned how to talk about her feelings or to relate to people at all really。 Her mother used her as a research assistant all her life， so it's not really a surprise。 None of the others seemed to be too sure of what's going on in life either。 I found them all to be more than a bit ditzy， constantly drunk or high， often totally unruly。 More than once I wanted to DNF the boo I liked the plot of the story， it was the characters that drove me crazy。 Granted， August is a virgin who seems to have never learned how to talk about her feelings or to relate to people at all really。 Her mother used her as a research assistant all her life， so it's not really a surprise。 None of the others seemed to be too sure of what's going on in life either。 I found them all to be more than a bit ditzy， constantly drunk or high， often totally unruly。 More than once I wanted to DNF the book， but it was from NetGalley so I had to read and review it。 Okay， so what can I say that I liked about the book？I liked the relationship between Jane and August。 The author allowed it to develop slowly， naturally。 I had to laugh about August's saying the kissing was for research purposes。 That was cute。 I liked the way they were so open to each other。 The ending was predictable。 I was hoping for something a bit different， some sort of twist。 I'm very disappointed since this was a book I was really looking forward to。 。。。more
