One Last Stop

I'm a sucker for ghost romances so this was definitely up my alley. I loved the humor and references. I decided early on that I would read this book through the scope of my romance genre expectation lens instead of my sci-fi lens and I'm glad I did because I finished on an extreme high. After a few days though, some of the minor letdowns became more apparent. I feel like the things I would change sound nit-picky, but I wanted the Jane reveal at Billy's to be bigger and more drawn out. The cliché boom box at the window moment zoomed right by. I wanted the standoffishness of August at the beginning of the story to continue to be a part of her personality throughout. I wanted more emotion and autonomy out of Jane (it leaned a little too far into the white savior trope for my liking). I wanted more continuity with August's schooling and schedule balancing. That being said, I enjoyed this book as much as I wanted to while reading it. This is one of those books where you get lost in the scenery in your mind and can only recall scenes as if you watched them instead of read them. I wanted to be one of their roommates so badly. I will live in the service elevator in the Popeyes just to encounter Annie/Isaiah. I want a whole book series on just the roommates. Great read.
