One Last Stop cover

This romantic comedy features August, who discovers love with Jane, a girl trapped in time, in One Last Stop, blending humor and heart.

In One Last Stop, Casey McQuiston weaves a captivating tale that blends romance with a touch of magic. The story follows twenty-three-year-old August, who moves to New York City with a jaded perspective on love and life. She believes that the enchanting love stories depicted in movies are nothing more than fantasy. However, her outlook begins to shift when she encounters Jane, a stunning girl on the subway who captivates her heart and imagination. Jane is not just any girl; she is a mysterious figure from the 1970s, trapped in a time loop, making her existence both enchanting and complicated.

As August's infatuation with Jane deepens, she realizes the challenges that come with this unexpected connection. Jane’s presence in August’s life brings joy, but it also forces August to confront her own past and the emotional baggage she has tried to leave behind. The narrative explores themes of love, identity, and the power of belief, as August embarks on a journey to help Jane rewrite her story and find a way back to her own time.

One Last Stop is not just a love story; it is a heartfelt exploration of what it means to truly connect with someone, even when the odds seem insurmountable. With humor and warmth, McQuiston delivers a tale that encourages readers to embrace the magic of love, no matter how improbable it may seem.
