One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston - Sheaf & Ink

“One Last Stop should be on everyone’s TBR. A blend of science-fiction, romance, and a splash of mystery, McQuiston’s flawless writing and story telling is in a word: perfection.”
Cecelia Beckman, Sheaf & Ink

The Story

From the Publisher:

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.

My Review: One Last STop

McQuiston has done it again!

A book that I absolutely enjoyed from cover to finish. There is so much to say about this gem of a book and not enough time to eloquently describe every entrancing heart-felt moments scattered throughout like star dust.

If you picked up my digital copy you would find high-lights throughout. Taking note of these perfectly crafted lines that I was utterly astounded by. If I had colorful stickers and a physical copy I think most if not the entire book would be covered in rainbow stickies.

As for the story, it’s such a quirkily mash-up of science-fiction, romance comedy, mystery, and reminiscing of past pop-culture. It’s pure genius.

I want to hug tight One Last Stop tight. To remember every detail, every word, etching it into my memory with permanent ink because it delivers on so many levels. Beautifully queer, this sapphic romcom is sultry, hilarious, and achingly sweet story on how two people find happiness even when time seems to be against them.

Buy this book and Red White & Royal Blue!

Happy Reading ̴ Cece
