This was so cool! I loved reading One Last Stop and this guide was so great to rehash the book again! ALSO WE GET A SU SPECIAL RECIPE?? AHHHHH! I will definitely need to make that in the future!

Ich habe mich über das Buch sehr gefreut. Es ist nicht nur fließend zum lesen sondern auch sehr spannend.

I loved the package in total. Although, I would have put the what to read next at the end versus in the middle.

This review is about the Book Club Kit for One Last Stop by Casey Mcquiston. My book club will definitely love this Book Club Kit! It is really beautifully designed and contains everything you could want in a kit. The letter from the author is a great idea and his view of the plot certainly gives you new perspectives. The playlist and the recipe were also great, which of course we have to try at our meeting! We will definitely talk about the discussion questions too. Many thanks to NetGalley for this kit and to everyone else: have fun using it!

I throughly enjoyed this, I belive that Casey's writting style makes it easy to fall in love with the characters and get into thr story. My main issue with the story was August as the protagonist. Her actions often felt too convenient, with events unfolding in ways that seemed overly coincidental—like her never having to do any assignments, her family's connection to Jane's story, and her long absences from work while still managing to pay rent and avoid getting fired. The romance aspect also felt very one-sided, but not in a compelling or unrequited way; it was more uncomfortable, with the dynamic between the dark-skinned Asian woman and the white girl from the South feeling problematic. The narrative framed Jane as entirely dependent on August, with Jane's story being told through August’s perspective. This made Jane seem to lack agency in a story that was supposed to be about her.

This was an amazing collection of prompts for my book club preparation! I wish this was available for more books. We had a blast with the playlist and the crafting of bookmarks.

This book club kit offers great discussion questions and a cool author interview. I love the options for what to read next and also recommendations for further learning about topics in the book. And who doesn’t love a book playlist!?

Casey McQuiston's "One Last Stop" is a heartwarming blend of romance, mystery, and a touch of magic that transports readers into a vibrant, contemporary New York City. With its captivating premise and endearing characters, McQuiston's sophomore novel proves to be a delightful follow-up to her debut success, "Red, White & Royal Blue."

The story centers around August Landry, a 23-year-old who has recently moved to New York City in search of a fresh start. August is a practical, no-nonsense protagonist who has built her life around skepticism and self-reliance, largely as a result of her unconventional upbringing and her mother’s obsession with solving a decades-old cold case. This perspective starts to shift when she meets Jane Su, a mysterious and strikingly charismatic woman on the Q train.

Jane, as August soon discovers, is not just any regular commuter. She’s a time traveler from the 1970s, stuck on the subway and unable to find her way back to her original timeline. As August becomes increasingly enamored with Jane, she’s drawn into the mystery of Jane’s past and the quest to set her free from her temporal predicament. The narrative weaves through themes of love, identity, and the concept of home, making readers question what it means to truly belong.

McQuiston’s writing is engaging and full of wit, with a rich cast of supporting characters that add depth and humor to the story. The found family trope is beautifully executed. Each character is lovingly crafted, with distinct personalities that bring warmth and authenticity to the narrative.

One of the standout features of "One Last Stop" is its vivid setting. McQuiston paints a lively picture of New York City, from the eclectic neighborhoods to the bustling energy of the subway. This sense of place adds a layer of immersion, making readers feel as though they’re right there with August and Jane, navigating the city’s complexities and charms.

While the novel’s pacing can occasionally feel uneven, with certain plot points taking longer to unfold than others, the overall journey is satisfying and emotionally resonant. McQuiston’s ability to blend humor, romance, and a touch of the supernatural creates a unique reading experience that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

In conclusion, "One Last Stop" is a delightful and heartfelt novel that showcases Casey McQuiston’s talent for crafting compelling, character-driven stories. It’s a celebration of love in all its forms—romantic, platonic, and self-love—and a testament to the idea that sometimes, the most extraordinary things can happen in the most ordinary places. Whether you’re a fan of romance, time travel, or simply looking for a feel-good read, "One Last Stop" is a book that will leave you with a smile on your face and warmth in your heart.

This is a lovely and comprehensive book club kit! I like the fun extras like the bookmarks and the recipe for the Su Special. The questions given should foster a lively discussion, especially the ones that ask about the wider elements of the story like the other relationships that are discussed. I also really appreciated the three questions posed by Casey McQuiston themself. It feels like a really personal nod from the author.

I love Casey McQuiston, so this is a super fun extra resource for one of her best books! Even without a bookclub, this is great to have.

This is the first NetGalley "Book Club Kit" I've looked at, and it was pretty good! We start with an interview with the book's author, including a few thoughtful questions to discuss from them, then we have not only discussion questions, but also reading recommendations -- not only books with similar themes or vibes, but also ones that educate us on queer history in the '70s, a playlist, and a recipe? Also printable bookmarks?? What a cute kit! I really enjoyed this!

Really helpful materials thankyou. This helped me to host a book club for this book which we all enjoyed

This was not what I expected, I'm sure it would be a great resource for a book, however I am not in a book club currently

Playlist and book recommendations was spot in! Getting back into this book before the authors new release :)

Book club kits are my new favorite thing!!! I love the author interviews, how they give you content warnings and just the extra little goodies. One of my favorite parts of this kit was the playlist. It helps you get more into the world of the characters.

Such a well thought out kit! The design was really well tied in with the feel of the book. I loved the questions, which were really reflective, and pushed us to think further than just the central romance and main characters. The interview with the author was really insightful, and the recommended readings really had something for all tastes!

I really love reading the Author's letter and the interview, and thanks to this kit I also found a lot of book recs, so that's great. And can we talk about the bookmarks? So cute!!!

I really liked this kit, it's fantastic resource for book clubs!! Casey's interview is very revealing and it also has nice features we can use. Thank you for this kit!!

This was so fun! I absolutely adore these book club kits! The playlist was so fun to listen to and did a great job mixing both more recently songs and older ones! I made the sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! The bookmarks were so cute!! I loved the discussion questions, they were so thought provoking!

Thank you so much for this fun book club kit!

Fantastic kit for use in book club meetings. We struggle with discussing the book (we usually say a few worked about it and then start chatting about anything in general) and this will help us to stay on track.
