One Last Stop pdf book from the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue Casey McQuiston. One last stop is a dazzling romance, filled with plenty of humor and heart.
One Last Stop Summary
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.

One Last Stop Reviews
5.0 out of 5 stars A quirky funny story of love and time-slips, and finding oneself.

The history of Jane and her life is fascinating, with insights into historic queer happenings across the US during the 70’s, but also to do with race and politics. The cultural differences between Jane and her 70’s punk activist vibe, and August’s own millennial existential anxiety is amusing yet believable.
The writing is beautifully done, it’s so emotional and evocative and I highlighted so many lines of dialogue that just touched me deeply. I’m truly in awe that the author was able to make what could have been seedy sex in the subway, something sensual. I never thought I’d say that.
I would highly recommend it to all WLW / LESFIC lovers! Even if you’re not necessarily into mysteries, scifi, historic, or even young adult/new adult – I think this story overall just works so incredibly well no matter what genre you want to prescribe to it, because ultimately it’s just about PEOPLE and their connections and longing to find a place and community in the world with some direction and meaning. Plus a beautiful love story.

August Landry has come to New York to either lose herself or find herself. She hasn’t decided which one yet. She only knows that the city somehow makes her feel less alone.
Thanks to her brash and lovable new roommates, she quickly lands a job at Pancake Billy’s so she can avoid becoming the poster child for starving students everywhere. She’s even getting the hang of the NYC subway system.
On her first day of class, everything that can go wrong does so in spades. She’s injured, tired and drowning in spilled coffee The last place that she expects someone to show her compassion is on the Q. But a girl names Jane gives her a scarf and a smile that upends her entire universe.
Every day that she finds out more about her Subway Girl, the more mysterious she becomes. August discovers that the universe is far more vast that she ever thought – and that love can truly hold it all together.
I began this book thinking that there was little chance of Casey McQuiston topping her amazing 2019 debut – Red, White & Royal Blue. Oh how fabulously wrong I was!
With One Last Stop, she strikes that rare balance of heartbreaking and hopeful with real precision. It’s a story that you just don’t read, you immerse yourself in it. From the unconditional warmth and acceptance of August’s newfound friends to the soul shattering longing and love that she shares with Jane – the words become feelings. And this book feels a lot like finally coming home…
2.0 out of 5 stars Didn’t love it

Three strikes, and I’m out. I REALLY struggled to connect to this book, but it’s such a highly anticipated read that I initially figured that it was just me. I set it down twice, and when I still wasn’t connecting on my third attempt, I started skimming. Things did not improve.
From the start, I struggled with the writing style. I don’t usually have trouble with third person perspective, but there are so many characters that it adds another layer of disconnect. I felt like an outsider looking in, and I frequently struggled to understand who was supposed to be talking. And all of those characters? Make the story feel scattered – and SUPER LONG. I was bored. So, so bored. It takes a long time before the romance even starts developing, and by that point I had already disconnected. Add in a storyline that’s pretty complex, kinda preachy, and not necessarily reality-based… and I was done.
I’m sure many readers will love this. I did like how unique it felt, and the representation is definitely there. The writing is technically good in a lot of ways, and there will certainly be an audience for this. Younger readers and those who like found families, coming of age stories, and fantasy/time travel elements will probably connect to it the most. I so appreciated receiving an early copy (and am voluntarily leaving a review), but this just didn’t live up to the hype for me.

One Last Stop was captivating and delightful; it was everything I hoped it would be. I felt so lucky to receive an ARC! As soon as August met Jane on the subway, I literally couldn’t put the book down and read it in two sittings. I found myself deeply curious about the mystery of why Jane cannot leave the subway, the lives of August’s many roommates, and of course the magical love story at the heart of it all.
I don’t know how McQuiston has managed to pen experiences and emotions that feel so specific yet relatable. The witty banter and references were scarily accurate! They perfectly capture the sense of being young in a big city and finding a chosen family, while reaching for impossible love. The supporting cast creates a fantastic sense of community and acceptance. Readers will find themselves drawn into a wonderful LGBTQ+ family along with August.
One Last Stop is the type of book that will constantly occupy your thoughts when you aren’t reading it. This book steams with the warmth of summer, fragrant sweet pancakes, and hungry kisses in the dark. I highlighted so many quotes! All the truths and jokes combine into a beautiful and compelling prose. Against a sunset-drenched skyline, McQuiston brings the heat and longing of an unlikely love to a scorching crescendo.
August and Jane quickly stole my heart and I can’t emphasize enough how much you won’t want to miss out on this love story! I highly recommend this book to everyone- especially anyone who’s ever wondered about a cute stranger on public transportation. Thank you so much to Casey McQuiston, St. Martin’s Griffin, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
