"One Last Stop" paints a picture of two girls' New York as they wrestle with family, love, a 1970s time slip, and life on the Q train. August is a newcomer to New York running from the past and Jane is a mysterious girl on the subway who can't seem to figure hers out. Set in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Flatbush, "One Last Stop" tells the story of intrepid August Landry and punk rock activist Jane Su. Sound familiar? Then "One Last Stop" might be for you. I was doing book events where I was signing 200 books and then going home and sleeping on my friend's bean bag chair in our living room." "But my first book tour, I literally paid for the whole thing out of my own pocket. "I think people have this idea that because my book has been pretty successful that it was a very rags to riches story super quick," McQuiston said.

After becoming a New York Times bestselling author for their debut book "Red White and Royal Blue," they were living in Colorado with three roommates, a whiteboard for a door, and their poodle Pepper when they got the idea for their newest novel "One Last Stop." Fans waiting in line to buy signed copies of "One Last Stop"īut beyond the world of bestseller lists and midnight releases, McQuiston's life was (and still is) far less chic than their fans might expect. In her hands, clutched tightly between her fingers and a small tote bag, was "One Last Stop," the latest book from Casey McQuiston, which debuted Tuesday morning to at least 100 in-person guests at the indie bookshop and an entire literary world waiting to read McQuiston's sophomore offering. "Nobody talk to me!" she exclaimed, before grabbing her friend's hand and doing a small happy dance down the street. on Tuesday morning in Brooklyn, New York, a curly-haired girl in a matching two-piece fuschia suit jumped down the step of the bookstore Books Are Magic, shrieking ecstatically, eyes still glued tight to the smiling author waving behind the arched glass doors. I think that all love stories should have some element of yearning to be compelling, but when it's a queer love story, I feel like if you don't have that element of yearning, it sometimes doesn't work.At 12:23 a.m. Especially in romance, I feel like we always need more of them.īut in terms of longing, I think that so much of the queer experience is yearning. This is somebody who is, on the page, described as somebody worth longing for because I don't think that butch lesbians get their due. When I set out to write this book, one of my objectives was to write a book in which the love interest is a butch lesbian. That's a common theme in romance in general, but it's kind of turning it on its head to have it be in a woman-loving-woman (wlw) context. There are these really rich descriptions of Jane as someone to desire. In "One Last Stop," you give us so much of August longing for Jane before they're actually together.

'One Last Stop' has similar themes to 'Red, White, and Royal Blue,' but McQuiston shows her growth as an author in the book
