One Last Stop is the story I didn’t know I needed.

When August moves to New York City for college and to get that “big city feel,” she knows no one, but she quickly falls into a group of friends that feels like family. While riding the subway to her new job, she meets the enigmatic and insanely sexy Jane. What she doesn’t know is exactly how much of a mystery Jane really is, but she’s about to find out. 

I went into this book knowing basically nothing about it, other than the gay corner of bookstagram is screaming about it, so I had to see what it was about. What I found was the most beautiful story of love, friendship, and found family. There is tons of LGBTQIAP+ rep, and it doesn't feel forced - just natural. While this is definitely a romance book, there's also humor, mystery, and a little bit of sci-fi. 

One Last Stop is marketed as a New Adult/Adult book, and definitely reads like one, so if you are looking for a YA book this is not your best option. **This is not a bad thing; just a note for [potential] readers.** 

I absolutely loved this book, and will definitely read more of McQuiston's writing in the future.
