4.5 / 5 stars

I have an amazing friend group. We have a fairly wide range of identities, and all respect each other. We’re very close and have amazing relationships with one another. I have never found anything that I would trade them for.

Until I discovered this friend group and found family. Because oh my gosh, please take me in as one of your own. They love each other and make room for each other in every imaginable (and unimaginable) situation. I love each and every one of them. They’re adora

I wish banter in real life was like that. Or that people had such large personalities all in one place. Or that I could perceive the world through this type of narration. Ah, how beautiful life would be. I think I would tolerate a lot more people with this view.

I also wish I could cram so many genres into a stream of consciousness. Sci fi? yeah. Romance? You bet. Queer history retelling? Maybe so. They’re all woven so well.

I wish real life could be a Casey McQuiston book. Alas. A girl can dream

Sometimes, though, it was difficult to continue my suspension of disbelief. I don’t jive with instant attraction or such astrological coincidences. It fits, but that doesn’t mean I have to actively promote that aspect of it. But I’m alright with withholding my doubts if I get to have this much fun and ride this rollercoaster of emotions.

Unrelated to the book and the characters and everything about this book except the setting itself, there is absolutely no way that I, as a chronically ill part-time wheelchair user, would have ever been able to enjoy this New York dream romance. Most subways and other methods of public transportation are completely inaccessible. They either don’t have elevators, ramps, options for low vision or blind people, audio or visual replacement options for hard of hearing and low vision people, and … well, the list goes on.

And that’s not a criticism of people who use public transport or people who didn’t know; it’s just the truth.

I still love queer love, though. I just wish queer love stories had more intersections with Disabled love. ...more

This is the kind of good that it's hard to find words for. I mean, I liked RW&RB but this? This isn't just a level above that, it's an entire floor above it. I loved every single character and the side characters felt far more nuanced (Wes I would die for you) and Jane! I can't even put into words how amazing Jane Su is. This book and Jane's character are love letters to queer history. This is easily a new favorite. ...more

oh god, where do i even start with this one...

i think this is one of the most outstanding books i've read in my life. the story is so well written and it's always entertaining, never obvious which is great for me because my adhd won't let me enjoy more spread-out and longer descriptive books. this was a perfect fit for me and man, I wished to be August so many times throughout reading the book. the atmosphere was so!! chaotic but in such a great way! this book literally took me with the whole cr ...more

Book 26/30
One last stop by Casey Mcquiston
3.5/5 stars
I enjoyed this, but it didn't deliver like people said. It's long, so so long. Some pages were just boring and others I found myself lost in the writing.
Story being: Queer college student moves to new york for a fresh start with a new major, flatmates and job. Whilst riding the subway, she notices that a girl is always there (I think it was pretty instant romance which I'm also not the biggest fan of). After many chats later they (they being ...more

4.5 stars**

casey mcquinston knows how to write incredible characters!! i am so in love with both of their books. she really knows how to make me laugh, sob, get horny, and feel warm & fuzzy all within a few pages. i love the dynamics between the mc and li, but also between all of the side characters!! i truly felt like i was transported into this book and became friends with august, nico, jane and wes too.

the plot, however, is very predictable lol. (a common theme in casey’s writing) BUT the rid ...more

2/5 ⭐️

La verdad es que me decepcionó un poquito.
La propuesta estaba buena, pero siento que el desarrollo y la forma en la que estaba escrita hicieron que todo se fuera a la v. Se me hizo una lectura super lenta y aburrida, estuve un par de veces a punto de abandonarla.

Pd: Yo también quiero jugar porrazos sobre ruedas.
