Jane doesn’t appear so Niko joins the infamous Q commute to see if he can help figure out what Jane is. If not, well, they’ll have to work harder to figure out what is going on. Niko and August host a séance to determine if Jane is a ghost – if Jane appears, she’s a ghost. They decide that step one is to discover if Jane is really alive. Then she finds a photograph on the wall of Pancake Billy’s opening day celebration in 1976 and Jane is in the photo – Jane as August has seen her now.Īugust is stunned! She calls Niko, one of her NYC roommates (who just happens to be a psychic), to help her figure out what is going on with Jane. Coincidence? August wonders how this can possibly be. Yet without fail, she finds Jane on the Q whenever she climbs aboard, day or night, eastbound or westbound. Taking a risk, August invites Jane to Pancake Billy’s and out for a drink, but Jane never shows. On the Q, heading to her first day of classes, August spills a coffee down her shirt and “the hottest girl August has ever seen,” aka Jane, another passenger, gives her a scarf to cover the stain.Īugust continues to run into Jane on the Q train. In NYC she finds roommates and a part-time job at Pancake Billy’s House of Pancakes, while figuring out her commute to school – the Q train.
#The last stop book professional#
August is a professional student and prefers a nomadic lifestyle, moving from college to college every few years. Twenty-three-year-old August Landry has recently relocated to NYC from New Orleans to continue her college education at Brooklyn College.
Few quibbles aside, I highly recommend One Last Stop – especially if you are a fan of some supernatural elements in your romance. I mostly loved it but a few things kept it just shy of a perfect read. One Last Stop is a terrific sophomore effort that McQuiston fans will enjoy. A heartfelt work of art.Casey McQuiston’s debut novel, Red, White, and Royal Blue was an enormous hit and I, like many readers, was anxiously awaiting McQuiston’s second book. Dunn has introduced me to characters all possessing questions for which there are no easy answers-only the slow and steady re-awakenings of familial bonds and moral responsibility.
“Last Stop on the 6 is the return of the prodigal daughter to a world of long-buried hurts, political complexities, and female resilience. Joan Silber, author of Secrets of Happiness, Ideas of Heaven, and Improvement, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award A superb book that I couldn’t stop reading.” “Why do families consist of people telling each other what to do? This implacable human mystery is the heart of a surprising, outrageous, and terrific novel about a prodigal daughter’s return to the Bronx, armed with regret, muddled memories, and integrity. Mary Calvi, author of Dear George, Dear Mary: A Novel of George Washington’s First Love, Emmy® award-winning journalist, anchor for CBS 2 News and Inside Edition “Bravo to Patricia Dunn for creating this uniquely powerful journey from which it is nearly impossible to turn away.”
