From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks... "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 Cynical twenty-three-year old August doesn’t believe in much. She doesn’t believe in psychics, or easily forged friendships, or finding the kind of love they make movies about. And she certainly doesn’t believe her ragtag band of new roommates, her night shifts at a 24-hour pancake diner, or her daily subway commute full of electrical outages are going to change that. But then, there’s Jane. Beautiful, impossible Jane. All hard edges with a soft smile and swoopy hair and saving August’s day when she needed it most. The person August looks forward to seeing on the train every day. The one who makes her forget about the cities she lived in that never seemed to fit, and her fear of what happens when she finally graduates, and even her cold-case obsessed mother who won’t quite let her go. And when August realizes her subway crush is impossible in more ways than one—namely, displaced in time from the 1970s—she thinks maybe it’s time to start believing. Casey McQuiston’s One Last Stop is a sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.

Time travel trope wasn’t for me, had to force myself to finish it

A beautiful, unashamedly Lesbian story set in New York. Every character felt so alive, so real. While it was ultimately light-hearted, and while I loved so much of the book, the parts that shone the most were the realest ones. The ones to do with family, with prejudice, and most importantly, grief. I tried reading this in January 2023, in the middle of a big slump, and couldn’t seem to read past the first few chapters. This time around, I finished it in 2 days. What a gift.

Wasnt what I expected and took some time to get into the Story but was very interesting! Expected the end after understanding what was going on but was a nice happy end nevertheless.

did i cry like a bitch as a chinese sapphic who used to live on a brooklyn q stop and whom was recently complimented on my leather jacket? why, of course. i’m also that bookish bi who would always fall in love with jane su and go on a maybe-date with her.

nostalgia aside, i would have liked the science fiction elements to be more spelt out, but i’m fully aware that this is romance first. i also wasn’t as dazzled with the prose as rwrb, and much like a long walk in new york, certain parts felt like a bit more of a slog.

the resolution was a bit mid, but better than i could’ve hoped for. it felt somewhat like a good-end fanfic, which all the good epilogues do.

I don't think Jane/Biyu should of stayed in August's time. Don't get me wrong I love them together, their love story is beautiful but there is just some part of me that can't help but feel bad for Jane/Biyu like she lost everything I think the main thing is her family. Maybe if we got the reunion with them i would feel like her being in this time would be ok, but we don't know how that interaction went. idk im probably just thinking about it too much. it's a love story after all.

This was longer than the books I usually read, but regardless, it was an enjoyable read. I'm a sucker for found-family and this book delivered. The exploration of the friendships was a highlight to me. I liked the diversity of the cast, and I was such a fan of Niko and Myla, they're such a cute couple and interesting characters. My only complaint is that it took me long to feel connected to the characters (past the 50% mark), which made it feel like the pacing was slow and the story was dragging. Before I started truly caring for the characters, the whole Jane mystery was what kept me engaged. And lastly, I loved the revelations and twists, they kept the story intriguing. In short, pick this up if you're looking for an unserious lovely read.

"Here they are. Two sets of sneakers on a scrap of metal. Two girls in the middle of a hurricane, tearing down the line. She’s looking up at Jane, and Jane’s looking down at her, and August feels her everywhere, even the places she’s not touching, pressed close as the world roars on."

damn. what a perfect read for pride month! i love august and jane so much i could cry. also myla, niko, and wes. found family trope, you are always dear to me 🫶🏼

i would never be able to ride a train, listen to love of my life by queen (which is already one of my all time fav songs before reading this so it's even more special now), and eat pancakes without thinking of subway girl and coffee girl.

this book is a time, a place, and a person. 

p.s. if they can make a perfect rwrb adaptation, i hope jane and august get one too someday.

God, I remember growing up and only reading stories about straight white couples… reading this made me more emotional than I thought it would. It made me laugh out loud (literally) and made me cry to the point where my tears stained the pages. I love this book, so much.

2.5 not because it's particularly bad but because it's not my kind of book

where can I get a tall butch lesbian from the 70’s to rail me?? 
the side characters were amazing and funny, our main characters WERE SO CUTE dios míoOO.

amé el final. part of me was always kinda hesitant con la idea que Jane se quedara en el presente con August, like, my girl lost her entire life in a blink of an eye y no sé si sería lo mejor que se quedara. but they love each other SO MUCH they belong together. and then at the end when Jane was able to reconnect with her family, it was very heartwarming ):

I was looking forward to this book because I enjoyed red, white, and royal blue so much. but I really struggled with this one, honestly. the plot was lacking, and I didn’t feel like I was able to build strong connections to august’s roommates and friends. we skip over her college adventures because of her romance with jane, which just felt odd regarding the plot. and jane being stuck in the train was a cool concept, but it got boring fast. their love story was sweet, but this book felt extremely longwinded. I’m surprised I didn’t dnf it, but here we are.

           I didn’t think I would be too into this book after finding out about Jane’s issue, but once the plan started, I was so invested. I kinda wanted Jane to go back and watch her sisters grow up, but I also wanted her to stay with August. Either way, I’m happy with how it ended.


One thing that throws me off is August’s friend’s automatic acceptance of Jane's situation. There is barely any questioning. They just hear about this weird thing and are okay with it. Also, I understand that there’s no way for August and Jane to have sex outside of a subway, but it is still strange.

This was such a fun, cute book!! I loved every character in it; they were all unique and interested. The characters were well-developed. Everything about their relationships was a strong point in the book. A great execution of a found family, and I love the found family trope! The plot is interesting and the writing was beautiful. However, I felt like it was too dragging. I enjoyed the first and last part, but during the middle part, I got slightly uninterested. Overall, this book was still a nice read.

Despite reading the synopsis of this book, I still ended up surprised and confused at the extremely bizarre take on NYC public transit. A quick read but I just didn’t like it as much as Red, White & Royal Blue.
