One Last Stop

“Maybe I don't know what fills it in yet, but I can look at the space around where I sit in the world, what creates that shape, and I can care about what it's made of, if it's good, if it hurts anyone, it makes people happy, if it makes me happy. And that can be enough for now.”

Unlike the majority in the book world, I was not impressed with McQuiston's first book (quite the contrary) and found this one much better. The romantic leads and side characters were not unlikeable, and the plot was reasonably engaging. There was a bit of a pacing issue in the book's first part, but it luckily picked up in the second half. I wasn't entirely convinced with the romance because there were not enough hints about August's feelings being reciprocated until quite late into the plot and the whole thing felt a little too one-sided, but I didn't have a bad time with this overall.
