McQuiston's sophomore novel stars August, a 23-year-old looking for a fresh start in New York, a place that seems perfect for a cynical, amateur sleuth who just wants to blend in. But not only does August find herself living with roommates who are determined to be her friends as soon as she arrives, but she also can't stop thinking about Jane Su, aka Subway Girl, a devastatingly sexy commuter she sees every time she steps on the Q train.
August is drawn to everything about Jane: her love for retro punk music, her tattoos, her kindness, and her ever-present leather jacket. But soon, August uses her detective skills to uncover the truth about her Subway Girl: Jane is a time traveler who has been trapped on the train since the 1970s — and she can't remember anything about her life before she stepped onto the train.
August makes it her mission to get Jane back "when" she belongs, fighting the clock as subway repairs threaten to take Jane away forever. Of course, August and Jane can't help but fall for each other as they try to figure out her story, and as their time together grows shorter and shorter, they'll have to decide what they're willing to sacrifice for true love.
"One Last Stop" is a delightful love story, but it's also a tale of queer joy, chosen family, and the importance of being yourself told in McQuiston's relatable style.
