*INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER* *INSTANT #1 INDIE BESTSELLER* From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks... 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. 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. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. But then, there’s this gorgeous girl on the train. Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. 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. 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. 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. Maybe it’s time to start believing in some things, after all. Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time. "A dazzling romance, filled with plenty of humor and heart." - Time Magazine, "The 21 Most Anticipated Books of 2021" "Dreamy, other worldly, smart, swoony, thoughtful, hilarious - all in all, exactly what you'd expect from Casey McQuiston!" - Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of The Proposal and Party for Two

Great concept, interesting characters, but this book is just too long for what it is. Cut off about 150 pages and i'd be happy.
I feel like I overuse the word “delightful” in reviews, but this book was just delightful (and excellent to read during Pride, with its flashbacks to queer history, including a lot that I didn't know before.) I loved the found family of August's roommates and the background slow-burn love story between Wes and Isaiah. Perfect summer reading that makes me want to be 23 and living on my own for the first time again (except not really, just reading about it is fine.)
(2021 Summer Romance Bingo: tattoos, would also work for construction, friends to lovers, holiday that's not Christmas, or wardrobe malfunction)
So I did like this book and thought it was good and 100% recommend it and blah blah blah but I've just been thinking about it the past few days and I don't love it as much as I did when I first finished it? I think Jane was very manic pixie dream girl and I just didn't love that. So yeah, I dropped a star.
