August, una joven de veintitrés años, no cree en casi nada. Ni en los videntes, ni en las amistades que se entablan con facilidad, ni en encontrar esa clase de amor que sale en las películas. Entonces llega Jane. La misteriosa e imposible Jane. Con mucho carácter, una sonrisa amable y el cabello alborotado, aparece para ayudar a August cuando ella más lo necesita. Jane es la persona que August sueña encontrarse en el vagón del metro día tras día. Pero pronto se topa con un gran problema: Jane no solo parece una punk de los setenta, lo es. Está atrapada en esa línea de metro y August tendrá que utilizar todo lo queha intentado dejar atrás para ayudarla. Después de todo, quizá haya llegado el momento de empezar a creer en ciertas cosas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION *INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* *INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER* *INSTANT #1 INDIE BESTSELLER* From the New York Times bestselling author of Red, White & Royal Blue comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks... For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don't exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can't imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there's certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failures. But then, there's this gorgeous girl on the train. Jane. Dazzling, charming, mysterious, impossible Jane. Jane with her rough edges and swoopy hair and soft smile, showing up in a leather jacket to save August's day when she needed it most. August's subway crush becomes the best part of her day, but pretty soon, she discovers there's one big problem: Jane doesn't just look like an old school punk rocker. She's literally displaced in time from the 1970s, and August is going to have to use everything she tried to leave in her own past to help her. Maybe it's time to start believing in some things, after all. Casey McQuiston's One Last Stop is a magical, sexy, big-hearted romance where the impossible becomes possible as August does everything in her power to save the girl lost in time.

The Pairing
Same author's queer voice and yearning slow burn, swapped for a European road trip with exes and noticeably more explicit heat.
The Goal
Same slow-burn plus tight friend-group-as-family warmth, but straight sports romance with pregnancy stakes and more explicit heat.
Icebreaker
Keeps the chosen-family college crew and gradual fall, trading queer magical realism for a spicier, straighter hockey setup.
A Court of Silver Flames
Shares slow-burn and found-family devotion with a fantastical twist, but darker, trauma-heavy fae drama instead of light contemporary charm.
Top Secret
Another queer slow burn built on anonymous messages and roommate closeness; much spicier and no time-travel whimsy.
The Charlie Method
Keeps the flirty-strangers-to-love slow burn and campus family feel, but far more explicit and a why-choose setup.
