Summary

Zwei junge Frauen in New York, eine große Liebe und eine zauberhafte Botschaft:
die neue unkonventionelle romantische Komödie von Casey McQuiston

Die New Yorker Studentin August glaubt weder an Hellseherei, noch an die Art von Liebe, über die Filme gedreht werden。 Und ganz sicher glaubt sie nicht, dass ihre WG voller liebenswerter Nerds daran etwas ändern wird – oder gar ihre Nachtschichten in einem Pancake House, das seit den 70er Jahren Kultstatus genießt。

Doch dann ist da in der U-Bahn plötzlich Jane – die ebenso schöne wie unmögliche Jane。 Um sie wiederzusehen, fährt August täglich zur selben Zeit mit der Linie Q。 Und sie beginnt sich zu wundern: Jeden Tag trägt Jane dieselbe Kleidung, niemals scheint sie aus der U-Bahn auszusteigen。 Nur langsam begreift August, dass sie sich für Jane auf ein unmöglich scheinendes Abenteuer einlassen muss …

Wenn die Liebe U-Bahn fährt: einfühlsam, humorvoll und ein kleines bisschen übersinnlich begeistert Casey McQuiston, New-York-Times-Bestseller-Autorin von »Royal Blue«, auch mit ihrer zweiten romantischen Komödie。

This book was the best book。 It was my most anticipated book of the year, the one that I’ve basically been vibrating in place about since I realized that Casey McQuiston, author of Red, White, and Royal Blue (otherwise known as the book that I have reread four times since 2019), was writing a WLW book involving TIME TRAVEL。This was an experience。 I drove to B&N at 10am so I could get there when I opened, bought the book, took it home with me, and proceeded to read it for the next seven hours。 I This book was the best book。 It was my most anticipated book of the year, the one that I’ve basically been vibrating in place about since I realized that Casey McQuiston, author of Red, White, and Royal Blue (otherwise known as the book that I have reread four times since 2019), was writing a WLW book involving TIME TRAVEL。This was an experience。 I drove to B&N at 10am so I could get there when I opened, bought the book, took it home with me, and proceeded to read it for the next seven hours。 I read it at the pool and got a wicked bad burn because I couldn’t stop reading it。 I read it in between bites of key lime pie in the afternoon。 I read it at the dinner table。 And then I finished it in the bath when I was trying to soothe my poor sunburn。 This book。 Was a goddamn experience。 I laughed。 I cried。 I giggled maniacally。 From this quote- “She’s going to have to say this out loud, isn’t she? Bella Swan, eat your horny little Mormon heart out。” From drag queens named Annie Depressant and Sara Tonin。 From a dance off on a stuck subway car to the fact that they took a party from a crowded apartment to a subway car just so Jane could be included。 From August’s “I wish I were never born” to Wes’s solemn reply of “retweet。” Every single roommate。 Every side character。 Every location, from Popeyes to the Q to Delilahs。 Every smell。 Challah and chocolate chip bagels smeared with peanut butter and strawberry milkshake pop tarts。 The music! The MUSIC! I will say it again, this book was an experience。I thought that RWARB was the book of my heart? No, this book is the book of my heart。 This book is a love song to all things queer。 It’s a love song to New York City。 It’s a love song to how it feels to be young and discovering a new family all of your own。 Discovering yourself。 Discovering your history。 Jane and August are unapologetically real, jumping out of the pages fully realized and larger than life。 I just cannot deal with how much I adored every moment of this journey。 It was beautiful。 。。。more

jamie !!

SO FUCKING GOOD。 i swear i want to reread and reread and reread。 i love new york, i live the seventies, i love pancakes like cmon now。 it truly was unlike anything i’ve read like the plot was really good。 the beginning was a bit hard to get through and i felt like some plot lines didn’t need to be in there but it made the story amazing。 the found family trope too (UGH LOVE) everything about it was top tier。 Casey McQuiston never misses

This book declares Casey as my favorite Author, i read Red White & Royal Blue like a month after it came out and i loved it with my whole heart so when they announced a new book i was soooooo exited i literally annoyed my family and friends about this book, my expectations where so high and it did not disappoint, i loved it。I didn’t finish this book yesterday because I was so busy but i got like 60% and i couldn’t bare not reading it i literally woke up early just to keep reading it, that’s one This book declares Casey as my favorite Author, i read Red White & Royal Blue like a month after it came out and i loved it with my whole heart so when they announced a new book i was soooooo exited i literally annoyed my family and friends about this book, my expectations where so high and it did not disappoint, i loved it。I didn’t finish this book yesterday because I was so busy but i got like 60% and i couldn’t bare not reading it i literally woke up early just to keep reading it, that’s one example of how much i loved it。I said to a friend that the way Casey writes bi panics is the way they would happen to me if I had like and interesting life and i stan by that comment, Casey has a way of portraying so many situations and different kinds of people that is so fantastic and so real, i could easily read a book about almost every character (not Gabe, lol) because they are written in a complex way i a way every human is, I literally wanna hug them and protect them from everything that is bad。August my baby, i want to give her all the love that she deserves (not that she’s not having it) and wants, she’s so fierce and cute and I just love her so much, she deserves everything that is good in the world。Jane my other baby, an icon, she is so strong and cool and is so kind (she’s a hufflepuff don’t @ me) we don’t deserve her, the fact that half new york is in love with her is so accurate, lol。overal this book is my 2021 favorite book and is in my top 5 books everyone should read, it’s a book so fantastic i can’t think of a combination of words that could describe how much i loved it and will cherish it, it made me laugh, it made me cry like a baby in a good way, it broke my heart and it rebuild it, i loved it, thanks Casey for making an amazing book。 <333✨ 。。。more

CASEY DID IT AGAIN。 An absolutely stunning novel with secondary characters who are three-dimensional and two main characters who are simply incredible。 You have to read this book。 I am in love with all six of the main characters of this book。 I legitimately cannot pick a favourite (I lied it's Niko, I love him with my whole heart)。I loved the plot of this book。 I adored it references to queer history and the queer community of the 1970s。 And, as I've already said but need to scream into the void CASEY DID IT AGAIN。 An absolutely stunning novel with secondary characters who are three-dimensional and two main characters who are simply incredible。 You have to read this book。 I am in love with all six of the main characters of this book。 I legitimately cannot pick a favourite (I lied it's Niko, I love him with my whole heart)。I loved the plot of this book。 I adored it references to queer history and the queer community of the 1970s。 And, as I've already said but need to scream into the void 100000 times, I LOVED THE CHARACTERS。 You have to read this book。 。。。more

This time-split, queer rom-com is like a John Hughes movie in book form。 A great cast of character who are diverse, hilarious, and utterly quotable。 This book is great for fans of Talia Hibbert and Jasmine Guillory。

she does it again, folks

there's no way that this was ever going to surpass rwarb, given that it is literally my favorite novel of all time, but this was still wonderful and I will read anything Casey ever publishes tbh there's no way that this was ever going to surpass rwarb, given that it is literally my favorite novel of all time, but this was still wonderful and I will read anything Casey ever publishes tbh 。。。more

Tucked away amongst my anally retentive Kindle collections is a little folder called Comfort Reads。 Normally I wait a bit for a book to echo round my ribcage for a little bit before I add it there。 It’s an eclectic collection – Naomi Novik, The Rook, Cemetery Boys。 It’s the books I read when I’m having a bad day, the ones that feel like having a beer with a very old friend who’s already seen you cry/vomit/snore more times than you can count。 I added One Last Stop to that collection as soon as I Tucked away amongst my anally retentive Kindle collections is a little folder called Comfort Reads。 Normally I wait a bit for a book to echo round my ribcage for a little bit before I add it there。 It’s an eclectic collection – Naomi Novik, The Rook, Cemetery Boys。 It’s the books I read when I’m having a bad day, the ones that feel like having a beer with a very old friend who’s already seen you cry/vomit/snore more times than you can count。 I added One Last Stop to that collection as soon as I finished reading it, which was roughly four hours after I started。 It’s not that One Last Stop is good – though it very much is。 The slightly sci-fi twist feels like a natural part of the story’s magic when it so easily could have ended up a shoe-horned in plot device。 I was even willing to accept unquestioned the presence of a psychic。 A god-damn psychic。 It seamlessly blends together a time-travel story, two separate mystery threads – Jane’s real identity and the location of August’s missing uncle – and a love story。 The plotting falls seamlessly into place, the dialogue sings off the page and the characters are the coolest group of friends you’ll never have。 There’s emotional meat to the story too, with a subplot about August’s mum that resists easy answers。 Too often romance novel heroines have lives that seem slightly too easy, with one pre-defined hitch that keeps tripping them up until it’s healed through the power of sex。 August is never static。 Her healing – and even that seems too simple a word – occurs across the entire book, suffusing every page。 It’s one of the most honest depictions of the awful, messy flux of being twenty-three in a big, new city that I’ve ever read on the page。 But that’s not what’s magical about this book。 This book creates a community – a very queer community, but one that’s never trying to be the queer community in a way that’s heavy-handed – and invites you inside。 This book braids your hair and tells you secrets。 This book buys you a beer and asks if you want to come to a drag show two seconds after you left。 There’s every kind of family in this book – found, biological, political, historical – all building up to a voice saying you’re not alone。 You’re never alone。 Red, White and Royal Blue sits proudly in the Comfort Read selection, and I love it with all my heart。 But the queerness in this book speaks even more profoundly to me。 RWARB was so much about the politics of being gay, about laws and the media and Gallup polls。 For a long time, that was the only way I could understand myself as a gay person。 Growing up in a place where being gay was only mentioned in R。E。 classes when we discussed ‘religious’ (Christian) views on homosexuality or in fun ‘debate’ exercises set up by teachers about gay marriage, I felt like all being queer meant was being in an endless, constant fight。 And I battered myself senseless against kids saying slurs, or kids repeating Romney (god, I’m old) talking points, and it felt exhausting and lonely and not even in a way I could talk to anyone about。 Whenever I did, the question I inevitably got was ‘why don’t you just let it go? Why fight with someone who’s mind you’re never going to change?’ But I couldn’t, because I was a queer person – and visibly, uncomfortably, everyone-knew-before-I-did queer – and this was the only way I knew how to be queer。 It took me a long, long time (and a few good friends, and a lot of Googling) to find out that there was more to queerness than that。 To see that Pride wasn’t just a political demonstration but a celebration I was invited to and that my queerness isn’t defined as a reaction against straightness but just is。 This book is all about queerness as an us rather than the us against them I spent so long thinking it was。 With the exception of August’s mum, there are no straight characters in this book。 Being gay in One Last Stop is life, it’s magic, it’s art, it’s family – and yes, it’s political, with Jane providing a link back to a harsher past in a way that felt incredibly real。 It’s a book that says ‘look how far we’ve come’ without ever saying ‘so be content with what we have’。 ‘We survived and we’re still her, fuckers’ while still acknowledging how much we lost。 I hope this book finds it’s way into the hands of a thousand of the lonely teenage girls I was。 I think it will mean a lot to them。 。。。more

There really aren’t enough queer stories out here like this one, and that’s from someone who reads queer fiction like it’s her job。 This book really is magic。

Just after reading RWRB, I could not be more thrilled to announce that Casey McQuiston is a national treasure and should be crowned as royalty amongst rom coms。 Genuinely laughed my way through all of the cheesy tropes and jokes because they were authentic and sooo believable。 Do not walk, RUN, and read this book!

1。5 stars。 This to me was only slightly better than Red, White & Royal Blue and I disliked it for different reasons。 While this one isn't a contrived rip off of a part of someone else's life story, it just wasn't well executed, both in character development and plot; the SciFi angle wasn't the most unbelievable thing about this bookAugust and Jane are cliched and 'you know, different', there's the pseudo cool Brooklyn setting and then fun and unique friend group that you just happen to come acro 1。5 stars。 This to me was only slightly better than Red, White & Royal Blue and I disliked it for different reasons。 While this one isn't a contrived rip off of a part of someone else's life story, it just wasn't well executed, both in character development and plot; the SciFi angle wasn't the most unbelievable thing about this bookAugust and Jane are cliched and 'you know, different', there's the pseudo cool Brooklyn setting and then fun and unique friend group that you just happen to come across when you go to one apartment to find a room to rent。 Sure。 It feels like it was written through rose coloured glasses and can only be read through those as well。 I might be too cynical for this, but honestly I'm not bothered。 The romance itself felt really one sided and it was one of those sitcom scenarios where the main character didn't have to go to work and just goes on fun trips or similar but still pays her rent on time。 So, to summarise, I won't be joining a Casey McQuiston fan club any time soon。 A quick word on the audiobook narration - mediocre。 。。。more
