I really enjoyed this! The characters were great, and the story was unexpected but very fun. I really wanted the B plot to end differently, but overall I liked it.

I did not give One Last Stop a favorable review. It just wasn't one for me. I found it hard to relate or even connect with the characters. The writing was great and the storyline could be great. It just missed the mark for me.

When I first started this book I thought I would slowly read it/listen to it while working & just take my time. Little did I know, after the first couple chapters, I just couldn’t put it down! I fell in love with August & Jane, & the mystery that is Jane. It was intriguing, & I couldn’t wait for the story to continue! It brought a bit of fantasy into my romance books, instead of the usual romance in my fantasy books; it was amazing!

I really loved this book. The writing was great, the cast of characters sparkled off the page, and the mysteries were really fun with a slow build to unraveling them all. I loved the steamy romance. This book made me feel more confident as a queer woman. It made it easier to imagine a community and I loved the found family. I was totally absorbed while I was reading it and while I had a few quibbles, overall I found it a wonderful world to escape into with a fresh and fun concept.

Edit: dropping my review from 4.5 to 4. When the excitement of being in the story has worn off I have a few more criticisms of some of the racial dynamics in the book.

A very sweet love story about young New York disaster queers. The dialogue sparkles; the characters are interesting and well-drawn; and I personally appreciate how much is happening in most of the characters' lives: even the romantic leads have more going on than just dealing with their love lives.

A lot of things about the book don't stand up to Fridge Logic. You sort of accept them as you read, but the instant you put the book down and start doing something else, your brain tells you all the things that don't make sense about what you've just read. Initially I found this incredibly annoying. After a while, though, the story became so engrossing that I stopped noticing. But those things are definitely still there, so caveat lector if that'll bug you no matter how sweet the love story is.

I read this as a fan of RWRB and it completely overturned my expectation. Such a beautiful romance through the lens of such a layered character with a dash of detective work and sci-fi that just makes it all so much more delicious. Highly recommend it if you're into tooth-rotting fluff or are more partial to romance than either of the above genres.
