Week 25 Review: One Last Stop

From Goodreads:
From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks...

For cynical twenty-three-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.

My Review:
This book was such a fantastic book to read! I haven't read her debut novel, Red, White, and Royal Blue, but I just might have to check it out because I had a really great time reading this book! I loved August and Jane, I loved their story!

In the author's note at the beginning of the book, it talks about how this book something unremarkable and commonplace and made it into magic. And that perfectly describes what happens in this book, we spend most of the time with Jane on the Q, with August trying to get her off. 

I loved the tipping point in their relationship. It was hilarious from an outsider's perspective, with a little bit of sad, though from the inside it was tragic. But they did tip over into a romantic relationship, and that was just so much fun to read! 

How it all came together, why Jane connected to August in the beginning, why Jane's stuck on the train, and so, how they're going to get her off, all these questions were answered so well, and I loved how they wove together! 

This was a really great read, and I enjoyed reading it so much!
