Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Genre: New Adult/ Romance
Release Date: June 1, 2021
Synopsis:
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. 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. And there's certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.
But then, there's this gorgeous girl on the train.
Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. 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. 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. 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. Maybe it's time to start believing in some things, after all.
Sarah's Reveiw:
Casey McQuiston outdid themselves! I am one of the people that is on the Red White & Royal Blue bandwagon, so when I saw that McQuiston was releasing a new book I needed to get my hands on it. I had super high expectations going into this book, and those expectations weren't only met, they were blown out of the water. Before I get into the rest of the review I will preface by saying this is one of the best books I have read all year.
Right off the bat I loved the mystery in this book. Prior to reading One Last Stop I had not read the synopsis, so I really didn't know what I was getting into. Without spoiling anything, there are two different mysterious circumstances that August, the main character, is dealing with throughout this book.
I love the found family aspect of this book so much. The relationships that August forms with the people she meets in New York is so heartwarming. There are characters from all walks of life, and the representation of the LGBTQ+ community is unmatched!
My head is a jumbled mess as I write this review, because I can't form a better thought than "just read it."
