Necesito decirlo: CASEY MCQUISTON, AUTORE DE LA DÉCADA.
El libro es una obra de arte, como siempre, la narración es buenísima, y la razón por la que la estimo tanto es porque el tema del libro tampoco es algo fácil de narrar para que el lector entienda.
Me hizo reír, llorar, colapsar de amor, sentir que interrumpía las escenas más subidas de tono y, en ocasiones, enojarme con personajes.
Casey, gracias por escribir arte. Amé el libro, amé la narración, la trama, la tensión entre personajes.
Lean este pedazo de libro, si tenemos gustos parecidos en alguna forma, les va a gustar.

This was really easy to read and really engaging, and the magical/sci-fi realism was well done and enjoyable.
I feel like the main theme in this book is love: love of a person, a place, of yourself, family & friends. There’s so much love in the friendships August makes and I adore the people she spends her time with in NYC. The love for NYC is wonderful too. This community and the community in Billy’s diner too. How everyone bands together. The love within the queer community too and unquestioned acceptance of each other as well as the supernatural elements was great.
I think identity, relationships, family, love & loss were all approached really well. The characters were fantastic and I could totally read a spin off book on any of them.
I thought parts of the plot were predictable but I didn’t mind one bit.
Super queer, super loveable, fun and a wild ride.

August's back story is intriguing and really builds her character brilliantly, while the mystery of Jane plays to her natural curiosity and had me flying through the pages. I was desperate to solve all of the puzzles that manifest in the story, and delighted every time a piece slipped into place.
The writing is so light and easy, but also brilliant, poetic and funny. I adore McQuiston's way with words and how she just pulls you utterly into her stories. And one of my favourite things about this (and Red, White and Royal Blue) is the way she describes falling in love. But love of any kind; in One Last Stop, the way August finally finds her tribe is just as beautiful as the incredible desire she feels for Jane. And for all of it we are right beside her, feeling it all and loving August and every character all the more for it.
I think I preferred this to Red, White and Royal Blue because rather than just great characters and a great story, it was the entire world I adored. Don't get me wrong, they're both AMAZING, but something about the joy and the longing and the hope and the ridiculous amount of cool in One Last Stop just got under my skin and settled there.
