I have read many book kits, and used plenty of kits to use the questions for discussions and activities in my classroom. But when I saw a book club kit for One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston, I just knew I could not pass it up. While this book kit contains all the usual and necessary materials such as author interviews and discussion questions, what makes this kit unique is the added materials that makes this ten times better. This kit contains a playlist inspired by the novel (which I highly recommend you listen since the music is chosen from the time periods of the novel), a recipe for a delicious breakfast sandwich, and an activity for bookmarks. All in all, this will definitely be used during our book club.

I loved all of the included discussion questions. They were thought provoking and would lead to a great discussion, I think. The authors note did a great job of advertising what the book was about and reading it really got me excited to start this book. I enjoyed how the recommendations of what to read next included both fiction and nonfiction books. I don’t know too much about LGBTQ+ history so I really appreciated the nonfiction recs which we don’t see too often. The included content could definitely lead to further book club discussions. .

I read this book recently and really enjoyed it, so I was excited to explore some additional content. This book club kit includes a letter from the author and an author interview that provide interesting context to the story. I really loved the inclusivity of this book, and how these diverse characters don't just exist in some perfectly integrated world but they feel like real people who are facing real struggles. In this book, the imagined struggles the characters face are where it delves into the magical and fantastical. Learning more about McQuiston's thought process from the included interview gave me a renewed sense of appreciation for the book and characters. The discussion questions highlight the important themes and would be useful in guiding book club conversations after reading the novel. I also appreciated the inclusion of fun details pulled from the book like the playlist and the recipe for the Su special! Overall, this is a fun and informative addition to the book.

I think this actually served as a better ad for the book than for a book club guide. The author interview was excellent, and I liked the discussion questions but I would have liked to have had more. The recipe was cute (but so simple. Is it really the best sammy ever?) and the music made me think about how to use music to set the mood at a book club. Fun!

Having read One Last Stop and planning on reviewing it and Casey McQuiston's other two books on my podcast "Could Be Gayer" soon I found this a fun helpful guide for discussion on this book. I particularly appreciated the further reading recommendations both for other queer rom-coms but also nonfiction titles on queer history.

This is a really awesome idea and I love what's included in this kit! I loved One Last Stop so it was super interesting to read the interview with Casey and to understand more about her thought process and what went into writing the book. It was cool that she included book club questions of her own, on top of the list of discussion questions. I'm always interested in new book so I like the page of recommendations of similar romance novels, as well as the page of further reading into queer history which was the backbone of Jane's story in One Last Stop. I'm also a foodie so loved that they included the recipe for the Su Special - definitely will be trying it out!
I hope to see more kits like these!

3.5*

This is a book club kit for One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston that contains an author letter, interview, book recommendations, a playlist, a recipe for the Su Special, discussion questions, and printable bookmarks.

This kit was insightful, and I especially liked the author letter and interview as those gave new perspectives to the book and the author's purpose! I looooved that the recipe was included because I was SO CURIOUS while reading and that would be such a cute book club snack to make/share at a meeting. The playlist was a nice addition as well.

I found about half the discussion questions interesting. I liked the opinion based and open-ended ones, such as "did you learn anything about yourself" rather than "why do you think this character did that." The fiction book recs... I have read all three and only thought one was similar. I wish the blurbs had all connected to OLS elements rather than just a few. The bookmarks were underwhelming and probably unnecessary for most readers.

Overall, a good addition to a book club meeting :)


(thank you netgalley & we are bookish for a review copy!)

I love this book club kit for it's author interview. This book can easily be passed aside as a romance but Casey's interview shows how much work went into this book and how much depth there is. The questions offer some good guidance for book clubs, but i do wish there were more guided activities like there was on the "If The Shoe Fits" book club guide.

This guide was a major help in my book club. Only recently did we get to read the book and the consensus was that the goodies were cute and the snacks weren't really mood setting, but overall fine. The discussion topic really improved the conversation.
About the next read suggestions, we probably won't read all of them, but they seemed interesting.

I am super appreciative of the content warnings included in this book club kit! Each and every reader in a book club has been through various life experiences and what may be something one reader simply glosses over may be something that sends another into a spiral. So thank you for including those! This was a great kit, with thoughtful discussion questions that will spark great conversation. I don't plan on reading this book with a book club, however, I will definitely be referring to this kit when I pick up One Last Stop off my shelf.

this is super helpful for my book club im so glad casey put this out too <3 honestly this is really cool and a great guide. it provides you with a great starting point and im so happy with it

The author's interview provided a lot of insight into the characters and story and the discussion questions helped further my own thinking and move our conversations forwards. I really enjoyed the playlist. I think this kit definitely lives up to the expectations I had for it.

The kit is amazing!! Me and my friends were very happy to have it! The playlist? Top tier. The author's letter? MADE ME CRY! The discussion questions were amazing and let us talk about the book for HOURS! We really loved it. I add in tbr all the book suggested because they seemed GOLD TIER (even if I already knew some of them). I can't wait to read more books about this author

I loved this book club kit. I loved the interview with the author, Casey Mcquiston. The Su recipe which was included in the book and also in the kit. This will be a terrific addition for a book club.

The kit was very detailed with unique and different questions.
Can't wait to use it in our bookclub during our discussion

I just recently read this book and I'm about to discuss it in the book club reunion this month, so this is helping me a lot.
Have to say that I absolutely loved the fact that they shared a list of songs and a pancake recipe in this, very thoughtful.

Such a wonderful addition to any book club! Includes so many great things to make you book club meetings spectacular! I especially enjoyed the Playlist, interview with the author, recommendations for what to read next based on this book and even the recipe and bookmarks! Great to help you warm up your bookclub and get everyone enjoying it plus engaged!

I really waiting this book, therefore book club kit increased my excitement  Especially I like the letter from Casey Mcquiston and also the interview was great. When these kits contain more info about author I I feel even closer to the book.

Discussion questions will help to coordinate book club meetings and prevent long silences. Also for this kit recipe is a great detail.

This book club kit was a fun add-on to my previous reading of One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. The kit includes an author interview, discussion questions, and suggested reading following this book. It also includes printable bookmarks, a recipe, and a playlist, which would all add a little something special to book club night!

Très intéressant ! J’ai trouvé le guide très complet et bien mené. Je tenterai les recettes proposées ☺️
