![]() Natalie Naudus did the narration and I’d definitely rec listening to it. One Last Stop: Angel: Like I said this book is one of my most anticipated reads of 2021. The narration was fantastic and I was completely immersed in the world. Jane is Chinese American and we do get to see that acknowledged and discussed but it feels removed a bit, which I feel was probably a good move since the author is not Chinese. This is due to not getting her POV, but we still definitely get a significant amount of information about her via August teasing out pieces of her past as they try to figure out who she actually is. The analysis indicates that around 86 reviews were positive while around 8 of reviews had negative sentiment.

We analyzed a total of 430 reviews for this product out of which, 37 reviews were received in the last 6 months. But in the spirit of getting to the HEA, I was all in at that point and the issues were minor enough that it didn’t bother me. When multiple subplots collide there are a few plot twists and turns that were a bit too pat for me. Before moving to NYC, August had spent her life with her mother searching for what happened to her missing Uncle, which is a very low subplot. I wasn’t sure if this setup would work but McQuiston did the worldbuilding well and made me believe this was a thing that could happen. And that begins the mystery plot of One Last Stop as August and Jane set about discovering who exactly, and where exactly, Jane belongs. August also works in this amazing diner that felt precisely like a diner you’d find in New York and populated with real characters that exist in New York, who slowly just become her family too.Īugust meets Subway Girl, aka Jane, on yes, the subway, one day and she realizes that Jane cannot actually leave the subway. Her roommates don’t let her hole up in her room, they adopt her into their family kind of without her realizing it, and she looks up one day and realizes that she has people that love her. One Last Stop is another medal in the box. From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue. She’s always been a bit of a loner and if you’re looking for found family, this book delivers it all over the place. Casey McQuiston has already gained a following due to the success of Red, White and Royal Blue. While I don’t live there, I have visited yearly for about 10 years, and the descriptions of the subways, the diners, the streets…all of it just made me wish I could hop on a plane tomorrow. August has just moved to NYC, and the atmosphere felt incredibly accurate. 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.I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It’s delightfully queer and set in New York, which combined was just one of the best experiences to listen to, although since I can’t travel right now did leave me feeling a little melancholy. From the very beginning to the last page, the story is so interesting and engaging supported by engaging characters, a fabulous plot, and much more. Maybe it's time to start believing in some things, after all. As she is known to write glorious stories and novels this is what she did in One Last Stop. 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. 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. 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. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. But then, there's this gorgeous girl on the train. And there's certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. 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. 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. ![]()
