Synopsis

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.

----------------------------------------------

One Last Stop a le goût des premières fois, des matinées ensoleillées et de l'espoir. Casey McQuiston a ce don unique pour les histoires d'amour d'emporter le lecteur plus loin encore et encore. August est une étudiante paumé et maladroite, et malgré tout, elle quitte sa mère pour New York. Ce départ lui offrira des amis, un boulot et la rencontre spéciale de Jane, la belle jeune femme mystérieuse du métro qui semble cacher un lourd secret. Ce récit est magique dans tous les sens du terme, passant par l'ambiance et par les personnages colorés et pas du tout ordinaires. C'est également un uppercut en plein visage qui apporte son lot de larmes, de sourires et de battements de coeur incontrôlables, qui démontre que les âmes soeurs ne sont pas qu'une simple légende qui combat les stéréotypes.

Un livre dont j'ai désormais un amour puissant et qui est beaucoup trop beau pour la laideur de ce monde.

Un one shot percutant et sublime qui m'a fait tombée amoureuse en un seul instant.

Coup de foudre !

6/5

Extraits :

''Does it ever, like... I don't know. Make you lonely ? To love somebody who can't meet you there ?''

She regret it immediatly, but Annie laughs.

''Sometimes. But, you know, that feeling ? When you wake up in the morning and you have somebody to think about ? Somewhere for hope to go ? It's good. Even when it's bad, it's good.''

It should feel dirty, to be with Jane like this, here, but what's crazy is, she finally understands it all. Love. The whole shape of it. What it means to touch someone like this and want to have a life with them at the same time.
