This isn’t what she expected and she never thought she’d be part of a collective. There’s this one moment for August, and for the reader, where you feel the world shift underneath the protagonists feet. That basically means that this book has dimension and nuance. But the found family that August becomes a part of had me shimmying in joy as I read One Last Stop.
Yes, the romance is hot and you need to get to know all about the bond between August and Jane. And the way that these two gravitated towards each other had me turning the page and going from chapter to chapter with an ease I haven’t experienced in ages.īut what really makes this book shine, at least for me, is the family that August finds along the way. And I felt that in the big moments and the small ones. I legit found myself channeling my inner Paris Hilton and saying, “That’s hot.” over and over as August and Jane got to know each other. I know it sounds cheesy, but trust me on that.
And the bond that these two form along the way is electric. It takes meeting August, and getting to know her, for things to really start rolling when it comes to the mystery of Jane.

It just means I’ve seen it before and welcomed McQuiston’s exploration on what it means to be queer in NYC while trying to find oneself.Īnd Jane, well she’s just trying to figure out what happened to her and how to get out of this time travel problem she’s found herself in on the Q train. Which, totally understandable and something we’ve seen plenty of times before. The former just moved to New York City and is trying to find her place amongst such a vibrant city. The romance at the heart of One Last Stop is between August and Jane. And, without giving spoilers away, this concept was explored in a manner that left me A) wanting more and B) sent me on a hunt for other books just like it. But a queer couple that identifies as LGBTQ smack dab in the middle of a time travel conundrum? Oh, that I haven’t seen before until One Last Stop. Sure, I’ve read time travel romances with straight characters. She surpassed them and gave me something I don’t think I’ve ever read before. So, I’m happy to report that not only did McQuiston meet my high expectations. Her book, Red, White & Royal Blue was a critical success and I remember every queer friend that I knew in 2019 talking about it. HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! Expect more posts this month, from interviews to reviews and more!Ĭoming into Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop I already knew that I was in for quality content. She was born in the South and currently lives in Colorado.In an effort to build a space for queer people like myself, every Tuesday I’ll be posting interviews, opinion pieces, listicals, reviews, and more focused on the LGBT community (and occasionally about the Latinx community since I am Latinx.)

The one who makes her forget about the cities she lived in that never seemed to fit, and her fear of what happens when she finally graduates, and even her cold-case obsessed mother who won’t quite let her go. The person August looks forward to seeing on the train every day. Beautiful, impossible Jane.Īll hard edges with a soft smile and swoopy hair and saving August’s day when she needed it most.

And she certainly doesn’t believe her ragtag band of new roommates, her night shifts at a 24-hour pancake diner, or her daily subway commute full of electrical outages are going to change that.īut then, there’s Jane. She doesn’t believe in psychics, or easily forged friendships, or finding the kind of love they make movies about. Cynical twenty-three-year old August doesn’t believe in much.
