Jane and August have a magic attachment and are determined to solve a fantastical problem before time runs out. Many of the inside jokes and traditions August builds with her friends were taken directly from McQuiston's own roommate group, while the apartment she lives in was scouted in person by McQuiston during one of their research trips to New York City. August, a detective and Louisiana transplant (like McQuiston), finds herself living with three strangers (like McQuiston). McQuiston took special care to weave both the spirit of the city and their own personal story into the book, taking dedicated trips to New York to find the truest details to add to the story. McQuiston spoke to me from their Astoria apartment about accidentally creating the perfect pandemic novel, how their own queer experience inspires their characters, and why they think their newest novel is their best work yet. "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."

"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.
