One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

 


Ebook from the library.

5/5 stars

This was not really what I expected but I loved it anyway.

August has moved to New York in an attempt to get away from her mother's obsessive search for her missing brother which has clouded August's whole childhood. She's on her third college degree and fiercely minimalist with her possessions.

She is at first unsure about her new roommates, one claims to be psychic, one leaves strange art everywhere and the third is basically nocturnal with a dog who has become communal. Over time they become family, along with August's work crew at Billy's Pancake House and Annie, the drag queen across the hall. Along the way she meets Jane on her subway commute. Cool, mysterious and electrifying, Jane isn't who she appears to be...

The story with Jane was a bit startling at first for what I thought was a regular contemporary romance/whatever but the whole thing drew me in and was so well written!

To me this book is queer joy and I highly recommend it!
