An amazing, albeit slightly trashy, thriller set in the Berlin night life. Kept me guessing up until the last  page. Great quick beach read.

Bro I don’t even know. I loved this so much. There are so many feelings. The book is heartbreaking in a very sneaky way; it is about broken people. And it is also suspenseful and funny and horrific and exciting and disgusting and magical in only the best ways.

Damn. Like, damn.

The last time I was in Berlin, me and my friend were too broke to pay for a hostel for the night, so we spent a few sleep-deprived hours eating at Spätis until we caught the train back home at 4am. So this book brought up good memories.

At first, it was a bit weird to see my capital city from the perspective of a non-German in a language that wasn't German but in the end it added to the charm, the disconcerted-ness of it all. 

Zoe and Hailey were fascinating characters and I'm always here for toxic female friendships (call it the all-girls school trauma). While their adventures may seem outlandish, they just true and realistic to Berlin for me.

I didn't 100% like how the story wrapped up but it was still a satisfying ending, clearing up all the spooky parts (and making them all the more spooky through it) and in the end satisfying.

I couldn't put down this book and if you're German and know Berlin or don't know what even happens in the Berlin except for it being Germany's capital, I think you would enjoy this!

This was not for me but I’ll give it 3 stars because I do get why people love it, the writing style just wasn’t for me. I also didn’t like the ending I felt like it could have been something else and that would have made it so much better. I gave One Last Stop 2.5 stars because even though I enjoyed reading it it wasn’t good and I hated so much of it, but this book gets 3 stars because it truly was interesting at some points and the things I hate I’m *supposed* to hate so yeah.

Such a great read. Couldn’t put it down, would really recommend. I really liked the feminine cast, the way Berlin is portrayed - it feels European and realistic.
