Overview

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.

  • “In five words: girl, tongue, subway, saw God”

    Jennifer E. - 4 years 8 months ago

    “There was this girl. I met her on a train. The first time I saw her, she was covered in coffee and smelled like pancakes, and she was beautiful like a city you always wanted to go to, like how you wait years and years for the right time, and then as soon as you get there, you have to taste everything and touch everything and learn every street by name. I felt like I knew her. She reminded me who I was…I never, ever wanted a person to save me until she did… you can’t [save yourself] alone.” “You can tear yourself apart and build from scratch, bring yourself to every corner of the map, sew a new self from the scraps of a thousand other people and places. You can try to expand to fill a different shape. But at the end of the day, there’s a place at the foot of the bed where your shoes hit the floor, and it’s...always the same.” Home is a place that lives inside us “like a funny little glass terrarium filled with growing plants and shiny rocks and tiny lopsided statues, warm with penthouse views” of all the family we make. Casey McQuiston “writes books about smart people with bad manners falling in love,” and her sophomore release is no exception. One Last Stop is “a lesbian time travel subway rom-com” that feels like “an extra in an extremely low-budget Love Actually, surrounded by people loving and being loved in all their messy, unpredictable ways.” “In five words: girl, tongue, subway, saw God”--while simultaneously providing a sobering portal into two lesser known historical events: the Up Stairs Lounge fire that devastated New Orleans’ subterranean gay community in 1973 and the New York City blackout of 1977. “I love this story because it’s about finding family and finding yourself against all odds, when the world has told you there’s no place for you.” Like the diner it features, One Last Stop is “something adjacent to magic.”
