Jessica is in college now!! So now that she's out of Pineville, she's finally going to find that group of people that she can just feel happy in, right??.... umm no. She's still just as miserable as ever (maybe more). Her and Marcus's long distance relationship isn't working out too good. After a disastrous internship over the summer of freshman year, she returns to Columbia and ends up cheating on Marcus with a Republican goth or something like that (who ends up dying of a broken heart, literally). Marcus goes to cowboy-camp while taking a no-talking vow, so their relationship is done without really any closure.
Jessica does another internship and considers hooking up with a married man, but just ends up pretending she has mono and misses a good 6 weeks of it. During Christmas vacation she meets an emo-boy fresh off a break-up w/ a high school girl (eww!), but after a while Jessica catches him cheating on her, so that's done. But now she's going to be homeless for her last semester (yes last semester of college already, this book covers way too much)... until her sister offers for her to live with her. Bridget and Pepe get engaged, Jessica graduates a semester early, and Hope actually makes an appearance in this one!!
Not feeling this book as much as the other 2. Marcus's post cards were annoying, and I wished she would've just chucked them. Jessica disappointed me at school. She seemed like she accomplished nothing except graduating early. She showed poor work ethic when it came to outside jobs, and she didn't even like or think she could do what she was majoring in.
The book covers over 3.5 years, it's way too much! Slow it down! The Marcus reunion to me was a little anti-climatic... and one really big thing that bugs me:
Jessica seems to be this super-ordinary looking girl (I mean she's on Accutane for christ's sake!), but then it's like guys die and fall all over themselves to get with her?? That makes NO sense (LEN WTF was that?!?!???)
It only got 4 stars on the strength of the first 2 books.
