憤世嫉俗的23歲女子奧古絲特來說，搬到紐約將會證實她對現實的見解都是對的。大都市的魔力、電影般的戀愛故事都不存在，唯一的事實是：所有人都是孤身一人。 奧古絲特在不打烊杯子蛋糕店的工作、和一堆怪人合租的公寓和無聊又漫長的地鐵通勤路，都不會讓她的生活掀起什麼不同的波瀾。
除了，那天在地鐵上遇見的美麗女子。
令人炫目，充滿魅力而神祕的簡，總是帶著一抹不羈的笑在奧古絲特最需要她的時候出現。地鐵裡的驚鴻一瞥，成了奧古絲特枯燥生活中的微光。然而，簡的來歷非同尋常，她竟是從 1970 年代「掉進」現代的時空受難者。奧古絲特若想拯救她，就得回頭面對自己想逃避的過往。最終，或許我們都得學著再次相信那些看似不可能的事。
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.
