fantasy, romance
August is hoping New York City will be the right place for
her to fit in while earning her degree. She finds an apartment and a job and takes
the subway to school. She meets a kind,
attractive woman on the train and wishes to get to know her better. But Jane is
no normal passenger.
Casey McQuiston’s diverse cast of characters in One Last Stop are quirkier than
those in her other novel I’ve read. The situation is crazier too. It’s centered
around a fantasy element. I do love fantasy but the rules that
defined Jane’s existence did not seem entirely plausible (even for a fantasy).
Despite the sketchy circumstances, it was fun trying to figure out the mystery
around Jane and her past and to watch the relationship blossom. Thankfully, my
interest in the adorable characters kept me listening to the audiobook, even
when the story became increasingly ridiculous. I just had to not think about
all extreme stretches in the story and sit back to enjoy the ride.
My final verdict is that it was a cute beach read but
nowhere near as good as Red, White, and Royal Blue.
The audiobook narrator, Natalie Naudus, did a terrific job
with several different voices and spot on voice acting. I give her an A+. Excellent narration!
