This bookclub kit is fantastic. I like the interview with the author aspect, followed with questions to help with discussion of the book.
The bookmarks are a nice edition,
The book recommends really help as a guide to what to pick up next.
The recipe sound interesting but as our book club meets in a resrturant will have it as a home challenge.

My friends and i really enjoyed this book club kit. Since we’re new to having a book club the discussion questions really helped break the ice to get some people in the group talking. I loved the printable bookmarks, the book recommendations and the the playlist was a hit. The wine and playlist lasted longer than the book discussion but overall the kit helped created a really fun book party.

"One Last Stop" by Casey McQuiston is a delightful and enchanting romance novel that seamlessly blends contemporary themes with a touch of magic and time-travel. The story introduces us to August, a cynical young woman who moves to New York City with a strong belief in the absence of magic and cinematic love stories in the real world. Her life revolves around working at a pancake diner and navigating the challenges of city living.

However, everything changes when she encounters Jane, a captivating and mysterious woman on the subway. Jane, who seems to have stepped out of the 1970s, becomes the unexpected highlight of August's day. The story beautifully captures the excitement and intrigue of a subway crush evolving into something deeper and more magical.

The concept of time displacement adds a unique and intriguing dimension to the romance. As August delves into Jane's mysterious background, she discovers the complexities of her situation and becomes determined to help her find her way back to her own time. This journey of self-discovery and love is at the heart of the novel.

Casey McQuiston's writing is engaging and heartfelt, creating characters that readers can relate to and root for. August's character undergoes significant growth throughout the story, as she learns to believe in the extraordinary and embrace the possibility of love.

The novel also explores themes of friendship, found family, and the power of connection. August's interactions with her quirky roommates and the diverse characters she encounters on the subway add depth and authenticity to the narrative.

"One Last Stop" is a heartwarming and magical tale that reminds us of the beauty of believing in the impossible and the transformative power of love. It combines elements of romance, humor, and a touch of nostalgia, making it a must-read for fans of contemporary romance with a unique twist. Casey McQuiston's storytelling shines in this captivating and unforgettable novel.

I recieved this a while ago, but only managed now to use it as a book club kit.
I really liked the fact that there was already promts and questions in the Kit. It is perfect for those who is starting a bookclub and not sure how or what to do when hosting one. I wish more books came out like this. With a book club kit.

This Book Club Kit for One Last Stop is amazing. It's going to help me keep the ball rolling for my campus book club! We're super excited to read another book by Casey McQuiston and this kit has EVERYTHING to help get immersed into the book and McQuiston's brain with the Author Interview. I'm excited to try the Su Special and hear everyone's answers for the discussion questions!

The Book Club Kits are fabulous tools to enrich your reading experience. They provide questions that make you reflect more on what you've read and points to discuss in a book club to hear different thoughts and explore further. Even if you're not in a book club, you can use it to ponder on some aspects of the book that you may have missed or wouldn't have lingered on when you read it. If you want to get more out of a book, the book club kit will act as a wonderful learning tool. Highly recommended.

I’ve been dying to read this book for ages and finally got an electronic copy. I just hadn’t bought it in store! An amazing love story between two women that is saying of “right place, right time” but it’s always the right place but the WRONG time…

Perfect for my book club, I was struggling to work on what to do other than read the book and this kit helped tremendously!

The discussion questions were perfect. They helped get us all thinking. We loved the recipe that was included and the playlist was perfect.
I adore listening to a playlist while reading so that was amazing to have it included.

Recipes and playlist was a fun touch! Author interview was a little long. Overall I loved the look of the whole kit and it was so fun to read through.

I feel like this is a good add-on for the book, but some stuff like the content warning and playlist should have been added to the book.

I love this kit so much! It’s been awhile since I read One Last Stop and reading through this kit made me want to reread it and then get together with people to discuss it! I’m so glad I downloaded this. I love all the different components that are included - author interview, recipe, playlist, discussion questions, and even printable bookmarks. I also like the addition of book recommendations at the end. I loved the variety and depth in the discussion questions and felt like they did a good job of covering a wide range of topics and parts of the book. We are Bookish did an amazing job putting this kit together. It has all the makings for an amazing book club gathering and I can’t wait to put this to use. I will definitely be checking out more of these kits in the future.

This book club kit was well thought out and put together. It not only included thoughtful questions, but also bookmarks, a recipe, and a playlistt! I appreciated that it included information on the author, other books by her/the publisher, and suggestions for books to read if you enjoyed this one. This would be a great kit for someone wanting to add a little extra to their book club meeting. The only thing I would change is maybe making the text bigger because some pages felt like they were filled with small text.

"One Last Stop" by Casey McQuiston asks readers a range of thought-provoking questions that delve into themes of love, identity, destiny, and the impact of our actions. This book club kit helps to reveal and give form to some of its key questions and themes:

What does it mean to find and hold onto love? The story explores the concept of love and its complexities. It prompts readers to reflect on the different forms love can take and the lengths one might go to in order to protect and preserve it. As well as how our past shapes our present? The novel explores the idea of personal history and its impact on individual experiences and relationships. It delves into the ways in which our past can both haunt and shape our present selves, and the challenges we face in reconciling our past with who we want to become.

The structure and accesibility of this kit is a brilliant way of exploring readers' own beliefs and experiences through the lens of the characters and their journeys.

These are very good questions to get a discussion facilitated! I also love the playlist and the author questions included. The bookmarks were cute but I don't think they are a necessary addition. Would love to See more of these!!

This is honestly such a cute idea, I love the inclusion of discussion questions, a recipe, and the trigger warnings. This is such a great way to introduce to people what bookclubs are about, and can really teach them how to run one successfully. We will definitely be using this in the future.

This is a REVIEW ONLY of The BOOK CLUB KIT for “One Last Stop,” a sapphic romantic comedy fiction by Casey McQuiston about a New York subway love connection. This fabulously created colorful 16-page e-book is with loaded with everything to make your Book Club meeting memorable. Featuring lots of discussion questions to stimulate insightful two-way conversations among reading groups, it’s also full of visual appeal because of the bright art and bold, eye-catching graphics. The Q & As are excellent and will be useful for Book Club Leaders, Librarians, as well as readers themselves who want extra insight into the background of the book and author. 💕 As all compelling Book Kits do, by adding additional graphics and fun elements, this one truly rocks! It provides content warnings; a recipe; musical playlists; bookmarks to print and cut out; an author interview; discussion questions; additional suggested readings, and so much more. This is a truly exciting Book Kit worthy of it’s designation. 💕

I'm really excited to utilize this for my book club in the future. I've heard great things about this book and have read Red, White, and Royal Blue by the same author.

I am a totally visual person which is kinda funny for a reader but the instant I finish a books it’s essential to watch a million TikTok videos. Aesthetic videos, fan cast videos, find the playlists people make. Having this made by the actual author is amazing and this is my formal petition to make this a thing with every book moving forward. I haven’t read the book yet but having all these little added bits makes me want to download it right now and add it to the top of my queue. I especially L O V E the recipe & book club questions
