From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks...
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.

REVIEW: Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan audio for this audiobook in exchange for a review. The narrator was fantastic and with all the accents and inflections really brought this story to life. I enjoyed so many things about this book. August's roommates are fantastic and the representation in this book is phenomenal! I like all the confusing feelings that August is going through in this book. As someone who has really struggled emotionally with my sexuality, I really appreciated that part of this story. The cast of characters are all so loving and accepting of each other. I wish I had that kind of support system when it comes to that side of myself that I feel like I have to hide away. Now onto the elephant int the room.......when I started this book I had NO idea that there was time travel involved! So I can fully appreciate a mystery that needs to be solved and that story line was very interesting.....but to me it felt like two complete different books jammed into one. I give this one a 4 out of 5 and would still recommend to anyone who is looking for a book with good Alphabet Mafia representation.
