It got me out of my reading slump - fantastic!
I’ve been buying books for years, but failing to get beyond the first couple of pages. Perhaps I’ve fallen victim to my reduced attention span? Perhaps it’s because I keep buying dry sci-fi books that sound fascinating?Whatever the case, this book popped up on my radar after clicking on the “LGBTQ+ tag” and seeing it. I’m not the typical audience for this book - a mostly straight, white guy from England - but it grabbed me as soon as I started reading it. And I do mean that with no exaggeration. When I wasn’t reading this book, I was thinking of it and eagerly waiting until I was again. I did pace myself a little, but finished it in about a week. This book never strayed far from my thoughts. A week isn’t an especially quick time to read a book; but considering my recent failings, I’ll happily take it.I found it intoxicatingly lovely, sweet, charming, and beautiful. Yes, it can be a little clichéd at times - *cough* psychics *cough* - but the characters are great. They’re well written and I found myself wanting to meet them. The found family dynamic was great as well. I also think this would make a great movie, though I’m already preemptively worried they’ll butcher it.In summary, I truly do love this book, and I’d like to thank Mrs McQuiston for getting me interested in actually reading again.

Breathtaking!
My heart aches for this book. That's the simplest way to describe it. Sometimes you read a book that is so important, so heartfelt and pure, that it just touches your soul and makes you ache inside. It is the most incredible feeling and I don't think I can properly put into words how grateful I am to Casey McQuiston for giving this to the world.Red, White & Royal Blue is my favourite book. I have read it once a month since I first downloaded it onto my kindle. It's my feel-good book. And I was truly content. And then I found out Casey was writing another book and I thought, how would she ever be able to write something as touching as her debut? I know now. Because it comes from the heart.One Last Stop is a story of found-family and soul searching and finding your place in the world. It is about acceptance and honesty and staying true to yourself. It's about redemption and love and laughter and heartbreak and all the things that make life so wonderful and complicated.If you ever, ever want to feel seen and heard in life, read this book. You won't be disappointed.

an incredible book to follow red white and royal blue
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERSi was a huge fan of mcquiston’s other book, red white and royal blue, so my expectations for this book were sky high. i came into the book thinking it was going to go in one direction, and it definitely wasn’t what i expected at all.the entire premise blew me away, because i wasn’t expecting jane to be stuck in the subway, i thought she was going to be able to leave the subway, which would’ve made for a completely different story, but i enjoyed watching august figuring out the logistics to her and jane’s relationship (especially when she confesses her love to jane at 3am on a tuesday)as much as i enjoyed august and jane’s relationship, i preferred august’s life outside of the Q, with her roommates, who i absolutely fell in love with. usually, drag doesn’t appeal to me at all, however the scenes where there was elements of drag with isaiah/annie depressant were very fun to read, as well as the christmas in june chapter, which (apart from maybe the heist chapter where they’re getting jane off the Q) was probably my favourite chapter in the whole book.the subplot and august’s past dealing with augie did intrest me, and tying jane/biyu into the whole thing was a great move from Mcquiston. the fact that augie was a gay man in the 70s was very interesting, and the complexities that that comes with in august and her mother’s story add depth to the story.i did have mixed feelings about the ending. at first i was upset that jane went back to the 70s (before she came back), but i’d realised that it was probably the best ending to the story, and reinforces the quote from the start of the book, ‘when august saw jane for the first time, she fell in love for a few minutes, then got off. that’s how it is on the subway’ (or something along those lines, i don’t have the book on me at the moment). however, i would be lying if i said that i didn’t enjoy jane coming back and getting to spend the rest of her life with august.overall, this was an excellent book, which i would readily recommend to anyone looking for books about time travelling wlw.

Meh
In my opinion this was super overhyped. I was really excited to get it but I didn't get invested in the story until halfway though. Even then i was only interested for 10 pages before I got bored again. I got to the climatic big moment and realised that i just didn't care how it ended. If you want cute wlw romance books I recommend Hani and Ishu's guide to fake dating or henna wars instead. The 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo is also amazing but it isn't lighthearted.
