Great book kit! Between the recipes, playlist and question there really isn’t anything else that you might need to host your club.

this was a very enjoyable kit it created great discussion questions and was a great way to get readers thinking more deeply about the book Some of the coolest features of this kit were the author interview, questions for discussion, and a bunch of other extra eg the playlist. I think this book kit is great and it enhanced the experience of the story so much for me.

It was a bit slow paced for me but nonetheless loved the mystery aspect of it and the punk refrences were amazing I think It could’ve been more inclusive. The weird quirky new york city roommates set a nice tone to the setting which was cute.

If this isn’t the coolest thing out there. I could definitely vibe to this for more books in the future. Super cute and helpful when reading One last Stop.

This is a cool book to compliment the reading of One Last Stop. It has an author interview, questions for discussion, and a bunch of other extras. A must for group reading or for those who want to delve deeper into this book.!

My book club loved this kit. We all were super fascinated with the idea of making the subway such a magical and interesting place so it was great to read the author's letter and get their perspective on what into their book. The discussion questions were very insightful as well, and it was helpful to unpack the complexities of being a person of color, part of the queer community, and finding family. My favorite thing about this kit, however, was The Su Special. It is SO good. I highly recommend people try that recipe out. It's now my go to sandwich. This cover is one of my favorites so it would have been nice to hear more about the artist that worked on it and the thoughts that went behind it, but overall this book club kit was super fun!

This is the first Book Club Kit I've looked at from We Are Bookish, and it is fantastic! I loved One Last Stop, and this kit is perfect for providing insights from the author and questions for your book club discussion. I also enjoyed the book recommendations and additional resources for further reading, and the playlist is a fun way to revisit moments from the book. This is a great resource and I'll be checking out more book club kits!

This kit came in handy in my book club buddy read of one last stop. The questions were helpful in having discussions around the theme of the book and which helped in an analytical reasoning and bringing in different perspective for the book and about sapphic literature in general.

I loved One Last Stop and love the use of book club kits to enhance the conversations surrounding some of our favourite books. I find without these types of kits the conversation can often go astray so its nice to have something to follow and aid the conversation.

This kit starts with a letter from Casey McQuiston, where they discuss what caused them to write this book and inspire this beautiful story. (I also love the content warnings, more books need to include these). The discussion questions were insightful and would lead to active conversations. The addition of the Su special recipe was an excellent touch (as well as McQuiston's photo)! There was so much talk about this sandwich in the book so this recipe would be great to make for a book club meeting! Plus it sounds phenomenal! And who DOESNT love a book playlist!

I wanted to get a feel for We Are Bookish' book club kits in general to see what they are all about. I decided to use the kit for One Last Stop as it was the only kit they had available for a book I had already read. The visual design of this kit is stunning and there is a lot of great content, from an interview with the author to recipes for foods that feature heavily in the book. The variety of content in this book club kit is what makes it stand out from other pre-made kits out there. While I don't envision myself using this specific kit in the near future, I am impressed by the quality and will look here when I start planning my bookclubs for the spring :)

This book club kit is gorgeous and quirky. It was lovely to scroll through it. I enjoyed the author letter and interview. The suggested books to read after was also nice.

One thing you could do to improve this kit and others is to include an artistic depiction of the characters and a short bio of each main character in the book. It might have also been nice to have an artistic rendering of the inside of the train and perhaps a little more information about train stops and taking the train in general.

This is a review of the We are Bookish BCK item for the book One last stop by Casey McQuiston. This is a supplemental item that includes the author’s letter, the author’s interview, post-review questions, and answers to discuss. So, it contains spoilers so please don’t review this if you don’t want to know the wrap-up commentary. I loved the bookmarks, the fun recipe, and the book recommendations. It’s great to have books recommended especially if you really liked the story. Love the playlist to help inspire the book’s tone. Enjoy the kit with friends and book friends.

Go read One last stop by Casey Mcquiston a quasi-meet-cute sprinkled in a time-swoop diverse LG love story. An entertaining ride and time circle of steamy slow burn situations. A HEA story incorporated with modern tones and social movements. A must-read brilliant author, with exceptional skills in detailing character layers.
