Pefect Fifths

I started the Jessica Darling Series by Megan McCafferty this summer while I was vacationing at St. George Island. I heard/read about them on the internet via blogs. When I started reading the first one I couldn't put it down. And when I got home I yearned for the next one, but my wallet was empty and this is how I discovered the beauty of the DeKalb County Library's WEBSITE! (Well, I discovered it earlier in the year before school got out, but during the summer I really learned to use it to my advantage.) I put the books on hold (via the internet) and the bring the first available from which ever library in the county straight to the Decatur Library. You can even get DVDs and CDs. I was ecstatic. I didn't have to pay $13 for a paperback and god know how much for the last two hard covers and I never had to go back to Blockbuster again.

But anyways, Perfect Fifths by Megan McCaffety is the last installment in the Jessica Darling Series. The series follows Jessica Darling, from the middle of her freshman year in high school all the way to age 26. There are some gaps between each book because they're her journals. She doesn't right everyday, or every minute of everyday and she remembers every single piece of dialogue when she does write that day. And she destroys some journals because she's disapointed about what she wrote in them and she's looses some that don't belong to her when her car get's hijacked. I really like books written as journals because I just do I guess. I consider myself as a journaler I guess, and I like to read blogs and journals of my friends too... though I probably shouldn't.

Perfect Fifths is basically when everything comes together. The love interest in the story Marcus Fluttie and Jessica bump into each other in the Newark Liberty International Airport, (which I thought was cool, because I've been there.) the two hadn't seen each other in years, since Jessica turn downed Marcus's marraige proposal. It's very awkard for the two of them to be meeting and talking again after all of that time. They try to keep things platonic which they do for all 300-or-so pages, except the last one when they kiss. And it doesn't say that they live happily ever after, but I'm going to assume that they do.

I started this book Friday night, or Saturday morning, I can't remember which but I'm sure I was done by Sunday. It was a nice last taste of summer before I had to come back to school, again this week. It's strange how much weekends are like summer.
