This novel will forever stay in my mind. It is so amazing, wholesome and cute. It feels like a big giant hug, like a peaceful place where we can go and feel comforted and reassured that everything is going to be alright and that things will end in the best way possible.There is so much diverse LGBT+ rep in this novel; it was integrated well and didn't feel forced or stereotypical. Each character was its being, with its own identity. They were all so well-developed, in so many ways and the overall cast of characters was lovable and very complex. August is the main protagonist, she lacks artifice and is very minimalist at the beginning of the novel, partly because of her unconventional upbringing; and I absolutely loved the way she slowly opened up throughout the novel and her various meetings with new people. Jane, the love interest, is an Asian lesbian woman who got stuck on the New York subway in the 1970s. She is amazing, very resilient and courageous. Ever since she was stuck, she forgot everything that happened in the first years of her life, and I found the process of her getting her memories back so well done. There was the happiness of finding an old memory, and also the grief of knowing she might not be able to ever go back to her own time. The paradox of Jane wishing to find her old life again, and creating a new one in our time with August was well-handled. I think a novel like this is so nice to read to forget our own problems and get transported in a magical world because even if it takes place in contemporary New York, the magical elements make it the perfect escapism book. The thoughtful inclusion of serious and ongoing issues, like the aids pandemic, gentrification and homophobia, as well as racism allowed the book to really be rooted in reality.One Last Stop is a love letter to the world, to love, to friends, to found families and to the LGBT+ community. It's romantic, cute, sexy and emotional, everything we could ask for in a book !!!
