An absolutely charming time travel romance for queer people. I love the slow build. I love the characters. I love that the setting is the subway. I love the ending. I often wonder what it would be like to take someone who was queer in the past and bring them forward to the future. What a lovely romance novel. Fun read if you like time travel, queer romance, and happy endings. Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC in return for an honest review.

I wanted to love this one but unfortunately, it just didn't live up to Red, White, and Royal Blue for me. The quirky background characters felt a bit too overdone and almost TOO quirky, that after a while they started to get annoying. I also just didn't click with the romance the way I wanted to!

One Last Stop is a fun adult read with a little sci-fi twist.
August is a 23-year old, bouncing from one university to the next trying to find a place to call home that feels right and an appropriate distance from her mother.
Jane is a mysterious, sharp, young, Asian-American with a warm smile and willing to fight anybody who has a nasty word to say. She always seems to be on the train, drawing August in and completely changing her life.
The gang is rounded out with Nico, a part-time psychic; Mila, a quirky artist-type with a big brain; Wes, a former trust fund kid who just wants to be himself and not a disappointment to everyone around him; and the staff at Pancake Billy's House of Pancakes. (As well as their neighbor, a drag queen named Annie Depressant who throws the biggest parties and is willing to step in to help without being asked.)

A delightful book full of adventure, action, and thrills. Fun to read, engrossing world building, and very descriptive imagery made it feel like it was cinematic. It's hard to resist the story as it drives forward. Would recommend.

I wanted to love this book. I expected to love this book. Sadly, this just did not work. Ultimately, there was a huge, glaring missed opportunity. I greatly disliked that the story was told only from August's perspective. I wanted to hear from Jane! It could have been a far richer experience with multiple perspectives. Also, sex on a NYC subway is just a hard pass.

I absolutely loved this title; Red, White and Royal Blue was one of my favourite releases of its publication year, I've read it so many times and Casey's second book did not disappoint in any way. I loved August and Jane, their connection felt so palpable and I loved the way the science fiction twist worked out! Such an incredible cast of side characters, too. I can't wait to read more books from Casey in the future and they're an author we'd love to work with.

This magical realism book is an amazing read! I loved the characters, setting in the New York subway and would love to see a sequel. Highly recommend!

After Red, White, & Royal Blue I was really excited to learn that McQuiston would be doing an own voices WLW book. What I was not expecting was that this book would have a fantasy element, and that I would like it. The love interest are fun with just enough quirks to make them interesting but not overplayed. As a resident of Louisiana I loved the nod McQuiston paid to her home state. Overall, One Last Stop was a quick read that left me with those post romance butterflies.

I wanted so much more from this book. After Red, White, and Royal Blue I had such high expectations that were unfortunately not met.

Cute but lost in a sea of similar current rom coms. Thank you very much for the opportunity to review.

Casey McQuiston knows how to write a fantastic queer romance. Writing quirky, enjoyable stories is the author’s thing. Yes, the story had its issues such as pacing, but the characters made the slow ride a fun one. The time-traveling aspect just enhanced the book’s overall rich flavor. And of course, the intimate moments between Jane and August were absolute fire.

I can’t wait to see what McQuiston has up their sleeve next!

4.5 out of 5 stars.

I wasn’t able to get into this book and therefore didn’t finish it. It just felt so slow and underwhelming compared to her previous book. I wish it had held my attention more.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy in each of an honest review.

This is another solidly good read from Casey McQuiston. The world needs more Queer romance books and Casey added another great one to our collective bookshelf.

McQuiston never misses; everything in their novels are thought out so beautifully that it should be a required staple in any romance lovers (or book lovers) shelf!

McQuiston is one of the few authors that can get me to read just romance in general because while I like romantic elements in novels, I’m usually not one to read the romance genre. One Last Stop though, the same with RWRB, has a level of emotional strength, wit, and love put into it that keeps your attention retained through every chapter. It’s interesting and full of love through and through.

The formatting was creative and cute and the characters were all likable. McQuiston also succeeds where I think many authors stumble in writing romances: they pace it wonderfully and it feels natural and entertaining.

This was a unique love story unlike anything I had seen before. For me, it was difficult to get into, but the last third of the book was great! Super sweet love story that transcends time and space.

Casey McQuiston is one of the best writers of our generation and her books never fail to sweep me up. When I say I couldn’t put this book down I am not joking. My eyes hurt but it was worth every second. I love this story and it’s characters, I hope we get to see more of them in the future.

I was a huge fan of Red White and Blue, but this book just didn't do it for me. There was a lot of hype going into it, but it fell flat. The writing however, was great as always!

This was a fun and sexy time! I didn't expect the time-slip stuff to work for me, and I was conflicted about RWRB. but McQuiston has created something special here. I had incredible fun and could barely put it down.

One Last Stop is the highly anticipated second novel from the author of Red, White, and Royal Blue. August moves to New York City, partially to continue her education, and partially to escape her mother’s obsessive search for her missing uncle. Things seem to be going will when she finds an apartment shared with kind eccentrics, and she meets a beautiful girl on the train. Then August realizes that the girl, Jane, is always on the train. She uses her investigative skills to figure out why she seems to be stuck in time, and why there are sparks between them.

This is such a sweet romance with a random sci-fi twist. Now, did the science element actually make sense? Perhaps not, but let’s not pretend that’s the main draw of this book. I was able to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy the story. I liked the diversity of the cast of characters, from different backgrounds and ways of life. I found the romance really sweet. I liked Jane and August together. I wished for a little more history of Jane’s life, because it seemed like such an interesting past. I liked August’s analytical mind, and her quest for identity and found family. Overall, it didn’t give me as many feels as her debut novel (Alex and Henry forever), but I still really enjoyed and look forward to more from this author!

The idea of story was fascinating with a time traveling Jane who August can only meet up with on the subway. Jane and August develop a relationship that will have readers cheering for them.
