Audiobook

by Casey McQuiston
Narrated by Natalie Naudus


⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


This book was not what I was expecting…


Since I had read Red, White and Royally Blue last year, I was expecting a linear romance for this second release from Casey McQuiston, and what I got was a time shifted mystery romance…


First of all my over all feelings on this book made me give it a 4 star rating. I loved the characters, August and Jane were well developed and once the time sift was revealed, I started to really like them. Even better was the cast of side characters. This award of genders, identities and personalities really carried the book. They brought a fun and lightheartedness to an otherwise intense story.


Secondly, if I was rating this book on the romance alone, I would give it a 3 star rating because, while Jane and Autumn and their care for each other and their love is a continuing theme, to me this book didn’t read as a romance. The mystery of August’s missing uncle, to the time shift dilemma, to the rescue mission of the landmark pancake dinner all took precedence over the romance in my opinion.


The narration of this book added to the story greatly, though the excellent voice work provided by narrator Natalie Naudus. I found the voices she used very appealing and a good fit for the different characters. The pacing of the reading was pleasingly done and easy to listen to.


Overall, I enjoyed this audiobook recording, but the time sifting was a hard element for me to get over as a reader.



One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston is scheduled to release June 1st, 2021.



I received a complimentary copy of this book from St. Martin’s Press through NetGalley and a complimentary copy of this audiobook from Macmillan Audio through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
