"Lives are remade in McQuiston's LGBTQ, paranormal rom-com. Memorable characters (including N.Y.C. itself) and a sultry-comic seduction on public transit (rivaling the iconic Risky Business scene) will have listeners hooked." (BookPage, starred review)

"Narrator Natalie Naudus brings a quiet intensity to this genre-crossing audiobook...the perfect fit for a tale of queer joy, first love, and self-discovery." (AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner)

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

For cynical 23-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.

Loved it!

I would recommend this book. It’s really great! Loved the plot, the characters, everything. Worth the read.

A great read worth sticking with

So hear me out: It’s not like Red White and Royal Blue in A LOT of ways.

The beginning takes a while and there were moments went it felt like being on a plane taxiing around for hours before finally taking off, but once you’re in the air? It’s a first class ride to a time, a place, a person you can’t wait to see.

amazing story

this story was so cute and well-written. I love the dialogue and the narrator was great.

Fabulous listen!

This book was just terrific. SO very well written with fantastic descriptions of the everyday nuances of life, beautiful well- developed characters and several wonderful love stories. And, the performance was also excellent. VERY highly recommend it!

the perfect mix

i found this book through looking up wlw books, it became hard to find decent ones and than i found this one. i absolutely love casey mcquiston’s work. i sobbed, laughed, joyful, and so much more while listening to this book. i normally listen to audiobooks to go to bed (that was my plan) until i kept hitting “extend timer” and it ended up being 5 am. i could not recommend this book more. it’s very very inclusive and comforting. it feels nice to find a book that feels like home. you definitely need to read this book:)

Love!

Totally loved this book and story! It was very entertaining and fun to listen to.

The love story I have been searching for.

One Last Stop is the love story I have been searching for.

As a lesbian who loves romance novels, I have succumbed to the fact that in order to read a good romance, it needs to be hetero-love.

Not anymore.

Thank you Casey McCuiston for making queer love so sexy, tasteful, artful, funny, beautiful, normal, and…did I say sexy?

This will forever be in my top 3 favorite books of all time. 💗

Her book “Red, White, and Royal Blue” was very good too!

Unexpected

Isn't the usual genre or kind of audio book I listen to but was enjoyable and very cute.

time . place . person

I sat down before I started this and had a little chat with myself. I told myself Red, White & Royal Blue was a lightning strike. A unique planetary alignment, a perfect storm, a once in a lifetime kind of thing. I told myself not to expect that feeling again, 'cause that wasn't fair to CMQ, to this book or to me. I swear I did. But damn. I guess lightning can strike twice.

blown away

this story is such a fun mix of cute, and funny, and deep in a way I can't even begin to describe. absolutely obsessed with Casey Mcquistons work.
