There’s Myla, a Black former engineer/current sculptor and her trans boyfriend, Niko, an actual psychic. And it fills itself in with a cast of queer found family characters that feels more true to life than any fictional gay grouping I’ve ever read or watched (sorry, The L Word). It unfolds with her literally electric meeting with an Asian butch lesbian hipster-looking heartthrob named Jane on the Q train. It opens with bisexual NYC transplant August, a reformed girl detective who’s trying to figure out what the heck she wants to do with her life. And, well, I am thrilled to say McQuiston has done it again, but even better this time! Her latest book, One Last Stop, is everything her first book was, but with queer women, in New York City, with - spoiler alert! - time travel. A British prince and the U.S.’ first son, in lust and in love! It made me laugh. For my entire life, all I have ever wanted was to read books that were as hilarious and lighthearted and romantic as Bridget Jones’s Diary, but about gay people, and Red, White & Royal Blue was the first book that gave that to me. It was the first book I read when my brain fog gave way to patches of sunlight in my early days of Long Covid - and it transported me. This One Last Stop review contains mild spoilers.ĭo you ever get that weird longing to have not read a book or watched a movie/TV show, so that you could go back and experience it for the first time all over again? Casey McQuiston’s 2019 breakout hit, Red, White & Royal Blue, made me feel that way. The 200 Best Lesbian, Bisexual & Queer Movies Of All Time.
