(book review)

“New York takes from her, sometimes. But she takes too.

She takes its muggy air in fistfuls, and she packs it into the cracks in her heart.”
― Casey McQuiston, One Last Stop

I was completely satisfied with it in every aspect and although some members of the book club condemned it, that was their opinion. And I’m here to share mine.

Hetero? We won’t have any heteros here!

Maybe for some it will be an oversaturation of the LGBT community, but for me, it was just right. When you buy a book with an emphasis on this, that’s what you expect to read.

Romcom or fantasy – neither one nor the other. I guess it is a kind of magical realism. Because here one cannot have the other without the other.

The book is easy to read, there are not many triggers. You should read it simply for pleasure and quietly squeak into your pillow, because it is already 2 am, and the characters have taken up arms.

Maybe I’m a bookworm who eats any book and I’ll like it. Or maybe I just like how the authors write. As a person who hasn’t been to New York, the atmosphere was enough for me (to be honest, I focused more on the characters), and the work of the main character was the most memorable for me.

For me, this book was definitely the best read in February-March. I’m waiting for the next book by the author.

Now let’s go through the topics that the book raises and that may interest you in reading this book:

Loneliness and alienation

Loss of self and identity

Societal prejudice

Burden and responsibility

Misunderstandings with parents

Hyperopia on the part of parents.

My rating is 9/10.
