One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Okay here is my non spoiler review of “One Last Stop” using only key words.

Lesbians, Drag Queens, Pancakes.

I’m only partially joking, but those things are in this book. I didn’t even know this book existed until a few weeks ago when someone suggested it to me. I found it at Target, didn’t even read the back cover, just bought it. It took me about 6 hours to devour this book and idk if that’s a long time or not but I didn’t want to stop reading it. It’s 417 pages & I cried 3 times. Those things are important to mention when you read a book imo.

Anyway, I loved that there was actual history in this book (read the acknowledgments please) and I then went down a rabbit hole of 70’s queer history in New Orleans which was fascinating and heartbreaking to discover. I loved that this book was so normal but so magical in its own ways. I mean, it’s a romance novel set in the subway, but it’s also so much more than that.

I don’t like rating books by numbers, just doesn’t seem to fit my vibe, so this one falls under “I would read this again on a summer day in the park with one of my AirPods in listening to Lofi and also people watching with a friend who is also reading this book again. But maybe not the first time you read it if you’re a cryer.”
