This kit was great. It has a little of everything to help you understand and discuss the book deeper.

What a great resource for book clubs!

One Last Stop is one of my all-time favourite romance books, and has been since I first read it in 2023. The prose is witty and fluid and beautiful, the characters are so vivid and so compelling, and the integration of queer history made everything feel so real. I know when I pick up a Casey McQuiston book, I'm getting something that actually feels like it was written by a queer person, for other queer people and their communities, and I am so grateful.

I loved the author interview - especially the part where they talk about developing August's character. The Further Reading recs are great! I second the recommendation to pick up The Stonewall Reader by the NYPL, and Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, and I'm looking forward to picking up a copy of the Olivia Waite book. The printable bookmarks are cute and I'm actually so obsessed with the inclusion of the Su Special sandwich recipe from the story. Super creative and now something I absolutely need to try.

Overall, this is a great resource and I'm looking forward to picking up more book club kits in the future now that I know they exist!

The story follows August, a guarded 23-year-old who moves to NYC expecting nothing more than a mundane life. Instead, she finds herself falling for Jane, a magnetic punk rocker who turns out to be displaced in time from the 1970s and mysteriously stuck on the Q train.

It did lag in a few areas but it was a fun read.

Thank you Netgalley and Griffin for the arc.

A book club kid based on one of my all time favourite books - a queer and interracial romance. 🥰 Includes a Q&A with the author and backstory on why she decided to write this book, book club discussion questions, printable bookmarks, a recipe of Su’s special, book recommendations, a playlist. Super cute accompaniment to the book.

Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for the book club kit!
I loved that this book club kit included an author interview. One Last Stop is my favorite Casey McQuiston book, so I'm always excited to have more content related to it. The discussion questions were great. I love that these kits include printable bookmarks, recipes, and book recommendations.

Very well done and thought out. The layout is great and the information provided is very helpful. I appreciate that a lot of the information is taken directly from the author's website to ensure accuracy. The inclusion of the recipe and playlist adds something fun and different that I love- lending itself to a very interactive and engaging group.

However on the discussion questions, question 10 assumes the book club members have read red white and royal blue which might be alienating to some readers. Also, I personally don't like the book recommendations but they might appeal to others.

In addition to the overall awesomeness of this novel, the materials in the book club kit are awesome, too - especially the letter from the author!

I absolutely love when there’s not just an author interview, but also a letter, it’s such a thoughtful touch in the kit.
About the extras, the playlist also creates such a great immersion into the story and I have to make that sandwich ASAP!! It’s seriously making my mouth water!
