This kit would be perfect for any bookclub.
It has an introduction to the book including trigger warnings, a letter from the author, questions to the author, and a book playlist. There are of course questions for the bookclub to discuss, but it includes recommendations for future bookclub reads as well.
it started slow for me but I quickly became glued to my book. one of the cutest and most creative stories I've read. I loved these characters so much, I wanna go hang out with these people. The author included so many complex and entertaining characters throughout the book. The romance moved at a realistic pace despite the obstacles in their way. I appreciated the idea of love as a form of connection and electricity. I appreciated how we got some tie-in with real-world events.
Love, love the recipes and the playlist!!!! I am not really in a bookclub but me and my best friend started a queer book club between both of us (if that counts as a book club) and I have recently introduced her to One Last Stop which she loved. It was so fun listening to the playlist and following the recipes, we both do not eat meat so we found replacements. The bookmarks are also absolutely amazing!!
Hello everyone, I'm Mr. C Reviewer, and tonight we're discussing the Book Club Kit: One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston. I'd like to extend a huge thank you to NetGalley for providing a copy of the kit in exchange for an honest review. I had the pleasure of reading this book in May 2023, Book Club Kit was first published 1 June 2021.
-In my opinion, the layout of the kit was exceptional. The font was aesthetically pleasing and well-organized, which made it easy to read and comprehend. I was particularly pleased with the trigger warnings page in this book club kit, as it showed a thoughtful approach to inclusivity and sensitivity towards readers. Additionally, the kit provided some excellent book recommendations for readers interested in exploring similar themes after reading "One Last Stop." Out of the six books recommended, I have only seen two mentioned in online media, which means that I now have four more books to add to my must-read list.
This kit is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of character development and the creative process behind the story. The author's insights into their inspiration and approach to writing are truly inspiring. The discussion questions provided are thought-provoking and engaging, making this book an excellent choice for book clubs or individual readers seeking to enhance their reading experience.
As an avid reader, I was pleasantly surprised by the additional features included in this kit. The playlist provided was an absolute delight and has been on repeat ever since. It has added a new dimension to my reading experience, and I find myself always looking forward to the next track.
The printable bookmarks were another highlight of the kit, featuring some of the most memorable quotes from the book. Upon obtaining a printer, I am eagerly looking forward to creating both the printable bookmarks and the bookmarks, in addition to acquiring The Su Special recipe. In summary, my encounter with the recipe in the book sparked my interest in trying it out myself. The inclusion of the recipe within the book made me exceedingly happy, and I eagerly anticipate utilizing it during my next reading of 'One Last Stop.' Substituting the meat component with a Quorn alternative aligns with my vegetarian dietary preferences. Lastly, I feel like preparing this sandwich would make for an excellent addition to any book club meeting cantered around 'One Last Stop.'
In my opinion, the product could have been enhanced with the addition of a few interactive games, such as a crossword or bingo, to make it more engaging and enjoyable. Additionally, having a physical copy with stickers would have added a fun and tactile element to the experience. It would have been delightful to see the inclusion of a character profile page, accompanied by some beautiful artwork and reference pictures of key elements within the story. These additions would have provided greater depth and immersion into the world of the product.
This cool little kit is absolutely delightful! I am eager to see more of them in the future. The kit is packed with everything a book club would need to host a fantastic event centered around this particular book. What's more, the premade questions included in the Book Club Kit are incredibly helpful and add an extra layer of depth to the discussion.
Overall, I highly recommend this Book Club Kit to anyone looking to elevate their book club experience. I feel like It truly has everything you need to make your next meeting a success!
Was insainly useful for my online book club with everything you could need to host a book club on this spesific book other than the book itself
I absolutely loved the kit! It’s perfectly curated and I most certainly will be coming back to NetGalley for more of them!
I loved reading Red, White, & Royal Blue with my book club so I was so happy to get a Book Club Kit for One Last Stop. This book was so fantastic. It checked off all of the boxes for my book club: Romance (check); New adult (check); Contemporary (check); and inclusive/Lesbian (check). It is so helpful to have premade questions in this Book Club Kit for the monthly meeting with my group. It's so appreciated.
This Book Club Kit has so many great aspects. There are so many great talking points that I am excited to be able to use to talk in depth about the book. The playlist fits the theme and different aspects of the book so well and I hope to be able to make the recipe soon though it already looks very delicious. Overall another great resource for Book Clubs from We Are Bookish. Thank you and Net Galley for this fantastic kit.
A great little guide that provides insight into McQuiston’s process, and also individual perception of the book! I love all the One Last Stop content I can get, so I completely loved this.
I absolutely adored One Last Stop - so I jumped at the chance to use this Book Club Kit. The further reading was great. The recipe and playlist was a fun touch. The discussion questions were engaging and thought-provoking, without being too challenging. Recommend for anyone wanting to deepen their reading of this book.
Great book club questions! This is a must if you are reading this book and love discussion questions. Also, there’s a recipe in here so you need to read this!
Really cool guide for your own bookclub. I adore the playlist and the recipe wich connects the reader to the book even more.
Although it would be very handy if the book came with it.
Otherwise, i loved it and it is very practical.
This book club pack was very helpful. I was under the impression that it included a pdf of the book as well, but it did not. I'm not sure why it matters that this is "sponsored" by the publisher if there's no book. It was fine for what it was and helped our discussion about the book.
Really great questions, and lovely extras that would make a book group meeting even better. I love the printable bookmarks, and the other book recs.
After finishing this short-but-sweet kit I feel it added to the reading experience and provided lots of topics for discussion among readers.
The author's interview is really great. Casey McQuinston came across as down to earth and relatable in her answers and I loved the insight into her writing process.
I think content warnings are always appreciated. We can never be too prepared when starting a new novel and when it comes to triggers it's better to be overly aware.
The other elements in the book club kit, such as the playlist, further book recommendations and the recipe that would be perfect for an in-person book club.
The only thing that may not be successful is presuming people are attending in-person book clubs when in reality, social media and virtual book clubs are more popular and prevalent in the book community, especially since Covid-19. The digital space among readers has exploded so I think targeting the online community is very beneficial.
Love this kit! From the playlist to the recipe, everything is amazing I can not wait to use this club for my book club!
This is a great kit with lots of helpful material for book clubs, including discussion questions, an interview with the author, recommendations for similar books, and One Last Stop-themed bookmarks to print. It is a great starting point for discussing the book. I've taken inspiration from this kit, thanks!
I was incredibly tempted to just say OMG I LOVED THIS, but this deserves more than that. I enjoyed One Last Stop a lot when I first read it, but this kit was something extra I had no idea I needed. The questions made me analyze things about the book I hadn’t thought about. And I loved the book recommendations at the end.
This book club kit was one of it's kind! Apart from the discussion questions it included, for instance, a playlist lo listen to while reading, a recipe for a dish relevant to the story and printable bookmarks.
One of the most important aspects of book clubs is the possibility to discuss the novel which you are reading. To make the conversations easier, the questions provided are crucial – which this kit has pinned down perfectly, since the questions were relevant, interesting and unique.
I also appreciated that content warnings (divided into "on page" and "off page") were included.
I normally strongly dislike different time overlaps but of course I enjoyed it because Casey McQuiston is perfection. I am absolutely in love with Jane and I very much so relate to August so its pretty ideal to feel this way. I believed their love from the moment they met. I would read five more books on what their lives entail after One Last Stop. I.loved.every.single.character. This book blended a lot of different genres - sci-fy, mystery, romance and the imagery that each added was superb. So excited to read it again and again and again and have my heart explode with love nonstop.
I didn't care for the questions as they were mostly comprehension based. I did love the printable bookmarks and the recipes included, and Spotify playlist. It was such a unique touch.
