I greatly enjoyed seeing the details in this Book Club Kit and would have loved something like this when I first read the book.
I found the interview with the author particularly fascinating and feel that this would be a great addition to any book club.

This book club kit are really amazing.
They are my new favourite things of netgalley.
They're really good if you have a book club but even if you just want more content about a book you're interested in.
And they are free.

A great resource for our current bookclub. I contains a wide variety of discussion questions in order to keep our catch ups on the right path and actually discuss the book.

It is beautifully presented and very well set out, not too complex to grasp. There are a few additional features in this kit which I find really contribute to how much we enjoyed it as it was more than just simple discussion questions.

Helps you gain a deeper connection to the book which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in response for n honest review

This is a high-quality, thoughtful compilation of engaging, book club content. I loved the authors note in the beginning with the origin story for the book and the Author Q&A which dove deeper into the thought processes behind the storyline and themes. The prompts were excellent at sparking conversation and the recipe was a fun, unexpected addition! As a suggestion for improvement, it'd be very cool if there was a QR code to open the playlist on different streaming platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, etc). Overall, I'd recommend this book club kit for new and established book clubs alike!

This is a small book of few pages that contains some ways to dive further in the world and making of "One Last Stop".
I read One Last Stop a while ago and liked it a lot. It is a very credible story with characters that suffer for many reasons and together find their way out of it.
So I was very curious to hear the author's point of view on how she managed to write such an incredible book.

I felt the first question of the interview very closely. As a reader of the book, I know what she's talking about and it's incredible to know that, after setting herself these aims she managed to reach them in a beautiful way.
The plot of "One Last Stop" is fairly simple but it contains many elements that enrich it and make it unique. These elements have been spoken about in this small book.
I very much look forward to her next work quoted here!!! I'm so excited!
The Discussion Questions are extremely useful, and I'm curious about the books advised in What To Read Next, I'm definitely checking them out!
The Printable bookmarks are so lovely; I'm going to try the recipe the recipe out someday. Also I don't know any of the songs mentioned in the Playlist so I'm going to listen to them!
I enjoyed this short book a lot, I'm going to search if there are more installments about other books I've loved!

This kit asks deep, complex, and analytical questions that get to the heart of the story. I appreciate the commentary by the author and the fact that they are making discussions on books that represent LGBTQIA love stories

This kit would be perfect for any bookclub.
It has an introduction to the book including trigger warnings, a letter from the author, questions to the author, and a book playlist. There are of course questions for the bookclub to discuss, but it includes recommendations for future bookclub reads as well.

it started slow for me but I quickly became glued to my book. one of the cutest and most creative stories I've read. I loved these characters so much, I wanna go hang out with these people. The author included so many complex and entertaining characters throughout the book. The romance moved at a realistic pace despite the obstacles in their way. I appreciated the idea of love as a form of connection and electricity. I appreciated how we got some tie-in with real-world events.

Love, love the recipes and the playlist!!!! I am not really in a bookclub but me and my best friend started a queer book club between both of us (if that counts as a book club) and I have recently introduced her to One Last Stop which she loved. It was so fun listening to the playlist and following the recipes, we both do not eat meat so we found replacements. The bookmarks are also absolutely amazing!!

Hello everyone, I'm Mr. C Reviewer, and tonight we're discussing the Book Club Kit: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. I'd like to extend a huge thank you to NetGalley for providing a copy of the kit in exchange for an honest review. I had the pleasure of reading this book in May 2023, Book Club Kit was first published 1 June 2021.



-In my opinion, the layout of the kit was exceptional. The font was aesthetically pleasing and well-organized, which made it easy to read and comprehend. I was particularly pleased with the trigger warnings page in this book club kit, as it showed a thoughtful approach to inclusivity and sensitivity towards readers. Additionally, the kit provided some excellent book recommendations for readers interested in exploring similar themes after reading "One Last Stop." Out of the six books recommended, I have only seen two mentioned in online media, which means that I now have four more books to add to my must-read list.

This kit is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of character development and the creative process behind the story. The author's insights into their inspiration and approach to writing are truly inspiring. The discussion questions provided are thought-provoking and engaging, making this book an excellent choice for book clubs or individual readers seeking to enhance their reading experience.

As an avid reader, I was pleasantly surprised by the additional features included in this kit. The playlist provided was an absolute delight and has been on repeat ever since. It has added a new dimension to my reading experience, and I find myself always looking forward to the next track.

The printable bookmarks were another highlight of the kit, featuring some of the most memorable quotes from the book. Upon obtaining a printer, I am eagerly looking forward to creating both the printable bookmarks and the bookmarks, in addition to acquiring The Su Special recipe. In summary, my encounter with the recipe in the book sparked my interest in trying it out myself. The inclusion of the recipe within the book made me exceedingly happy, and I eagerly anticipate utilizing it during my next reading of 'One Last Stop.' Substituting the meat component with a Quorn alternative aligns with my vegetarian dietary preferences. Lastly, I feel like preparing this sandwich would make for an excellent addition to any book club meeting cantered around 'One Last Stop.'

In my opinion, the product could have been enhanced with the addition of a few interactive games, such as a crossword or bingo, to make it more engaging and enjoyable. Additionally, having a physical copy with stickers would have added a fun and tactile element to the experience. It would have been delightful to see the inclusion of a character profile page, accompanied by some beautiful artwork and reference pictures of key elements within the story. These additions would have provided greater depth and immersion into the world of the product.

This cool little kit is absolutely delightful! I am eager to see more of them in the future. The kit is packed with everything a book club would need to host a fantastic event centered around this particular book. What's more, the premade questions included in the Book Club Kit are incredibly helpful and add an extra layer of depth to the discussion.

Overall, I highly recommend this Book Club Kit to anyone looking to elevate their book club experience. I feel like It truly has everything you need to make your next meeting a success!

I loved reading Red, White, & Royal Blue with my book club so I was so happy to get a Book Club Kit for One Last Stop. This book was so fantastic. It checked off all of the boxes for my book club: Romance (check); New adult (check); Contemporary (check); and inclusive/Lesbian (check). It is so helpful to have premade questions in this Book Club Kit for the monthly meeting with my group. It's so appreciated.

This Book Club Kit has so many great aspects. There are so many great talking points that I am excited to be able to use to talk in depth about the book. The playlist fits the theme and different aspects of the book so well and I hope to be able to make the recipe soon though it already looks very delicious. Overall another great resource for Book Clubs from We Are Bookish. Thank you and Net Galley for this fantastic kit.
