Representaion Conducive To Books Perfect Fifths (Jessica Darling #5)
Old flames are reignited in the fifth and final book in the New York Times bestselling Jessica Darling series.Captivated readers have followed Jessica through every step and misstep: from her life as a tormented, tart-tongued teenager to her years as a college grad stumbling toward adulthood. Now a young professional in her mid-twenties, Jess is off to a Caribbean wedding. As she rushes to her gate at the airport, she literally runs into her former boyfriend, Marcus Flutie. It’s the first time she's seen him since she reluctantly turned down his marriage proposal three years earlier–and emotions run high.
Marcus and Jessica have both changed dramatically, yet their connection feels as familiar as ever. Is their reunion just a fluke or has fate orchestrated this collision of their lives once again?
Told partly from Marcus’s point of view, Perfect Fifths finally lets readers inside the mind of the one person who’s both troubled and titillated Jessica Darling for years. Expect nothing less than the satisfying conclusion fans have been waiting for, one perfect in its imperfection. . .

This book was really, really the Perfect Fifth. The relationship between Marcus and Jessica culminates in this fifth instalment and last of the series. I've read it in less than 24 hours. I just couldn't stop reading it once I started it. Looking back, I now understand the geniousness in these books. Everything is perfectly orchestrated and this last book couldn't be more perfect.Jessica is all grown up and her development as a character is wonderful. It goes to show that we can learn from ourI finally finished this series, and my overwhelming feeling is that I'm SO glad I don't have to read any more of these books! I enjoyed the first 3, but these last two books were awful to get through.This book felt so unnecessary and very much like an afterthought. (view spoiler)[I don't know if McCafferty regretted the ending to book 4 but this book undid everything book 4 worked to establish. I can understand Jessica and Marcus needing some time apart to truly work things out and be together
The Jessica Darling series has swept teens across the country and has a devoted, almost cult, obsession within this community. In some ways I can understand this phenomenon. The first book was decent, nothing substantial just a small peak at whats to come for these two star-crossed lovers. The second was devoured! Ate it once, ate it twice, and I just could not stop! The third and fourth part was rather dull, total build-up. Marcus almost completely left and we were just left with Jessica. I
My advice to those who want to read the final installment of Megan McCafferty's Jessica Darling series? Don't.Why so harsh? you may ask. It's just one more book and you can be satisfied knowing the ending, right?This book was so incredibly painful to get through. I thought it was bad enough that in Fourth Comings Jessica wrote to Marcus instead of for herself, changing the whole dynamic and dulling the clever wit into purple prose. Here, McCafferty employs so many writing gimmicks it is hard to
I read this when I was a ...sophomore?... in high school, and remember swooning over it. ... Erm, not so much anymore. I realize I actually cant stand Jessica, which makes sense because I cant stand most adolescents (even though Jessica is 26 here; however, she is not emotionally 26) Shes permanently infantile, Im convinced. The writing showcases a Jane Austen style of hyper-focus, bordering on autism. Also, please just fucking write some sex scenes already!
I had a lot of problems with this final book in the Jessica Darling series. First, the format change. After structuring the narrative in the form of journal entries from Jessica's point of view for the first four books, suddenly we get an omniscient narrator who sees into the minds of both Jessica and Marcus. And, for me, Marcus's inner thoughts did not really match the character he was in the first 4 books. Second, the whole Sunny Dae character just wasn't doing it for me. While Marcus's
I adored returning to this series that I first read in high school. I think my rating is boosted by nostalgia, but I did enjoy the story.
