I also loved Jane and the many sides to her personality and the way she approaches life. August is a great main character, although she did need to grow on me a little before I really came to love her. What I loved about One Last Stop is its characters and the way they interact with one another. It’s been a few days since I finished the book, and I’m still not entirely sure what I think of it. There were things I absolutely adored, but there were also a few aspects I wasn’t a fan of at all. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all.Īfter reading Red, White and Royal Blue earlier this year, I was convinced Casey McQuiston could be one of my new favourite authors, so I was excited to pick up One Last Stop when it came out last month. She’s literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. August’s subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there’s one big problem: Jane doesn’t just look like an old school punk rocker. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August’s day when she needed it most.

Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures.īut then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone.
