One Last Stop
by Casey McQuiston
Okay. So.
We all know I think Casey can do no wrong, and this book just further proved that to me. I loved every minute of it.
One Last Stop follows super senior August as she moves to New York to keep continuing her education. She meets and moves in with literally the coolest group of people you will ever meet in an apartment building above a Popeye's Chicken in Brooklyn. On the train, August meets Jane- a mysterious, and frankly far too attractive for a fictional character has any right to be, vintage-looking punk that always seems to be around. Sparks fly (heh) and as they get to know each other, August notices things about Jane that are a little... odd. Can August help solve this mystery without falling in love?
Spoiler alert: no, she can't. Who wouldn't love Jane?
Honestly, though, this book is a delight. I admittedly know nothing about sci-fi or time travel, and I am fairly good at suspending disbelief, so the whole stuck-in-time thing (while not really plausible) I easily accepted because 1. It was cool, and 2. I am completely obsessed with Jane and want several more books detailing her interesting ass life before she got on that train, please.
As I have come to expect from a Casey novel, all the supporting characters were wonderful and full and real and feel like people I want to be friends with immediately. Also in this book, everyone in August's circle was LGBTQIA+ and I am here. for. it. Every character feels like someone I could know and I think that's just an amazing thing to do as an author and I'll never get tired of reading Casey's books because of it.
This book made me want to pack up my bags and move my ass to Brooklyn, immediately. Preferably into a building with a Popeye's Chicken attached.
