Chronicle In Favor Of Books Charmed Thirds (Jessica Darling #3)

Jessica Darling's in college! Things are looking up for Jessica Darling. She has finally left her New Jersey hometown/hellhole for Columbia University in New York City; she's more into her boyfriend, Marcus Flutie, than ever (so what if he's at a Buddhist college in California?); and she's making new friends who just might qualify as stand-ins for her beloved best friend, Hope. But Jessica soon realizes that her bliss might not last. She lands an internship at a snarky Brooklyn-based magazine, but will she fit in with the uberhip staff (and will she even want to)? As she and Marcus hit the rocks, will she end up falling for her GOPunk, neoconservative RA . . . or the hot (and married!) Spanish grad student she's assisting on a summer project . . . or the oh-so-sensitive emo boy down the hall? Will she even make it through college now that her parents have cut her off financially? And what do the cryptic one-word postcards from Marcus really mean? With hilarious insight, the hyperobservant Jessica Darling struggles through her college years--and the summers in between--while maintaining her usual mix of wit, cynicism, and candor. "From the Hardcover edition."

Critique Regarding Books Charmed Thirds (Jessica Darling #3)

4 starsIve given the first two books 5 stars, Im only giving this one 4 stars because it may have gone off the deep end in cynicism. Ever the pragmatist, Jessica experiences the life of a college student at Columbia while getting a handle of her finances, her academic future, her hit-or-miss friendships and relationships, her ties with family, and especially Marcus. I wasnt liking the person Jessica was becoming, I thought it went a bit too far from her personality. Although I get that she was

CHARMED THIRDS, the third book in Megan McCaffertys bestselling series, introduces a more insightful and pensive, though not necessarily more likable, Jessica Darling. Diehard fans of the first two books will have trouble coming to terms with Jessicas growth, though personally I think its fantastic.College is supposed to be better for Jessica Darling. After all, she has escaped Pineville to attend prestigious Columbia University in the greatest city in the world, and she is still with Marcus.

The first question that came to my mind after I finished this was: Is that it?Where the hell is the humour of the first two books? Why the hell is Jessica having more hot and cold moments than that guy in Katy Perry's Hot and Cold video? I don't get it.The first book was amazing, the second was...not so amazing, but it was hilarious, so I'm okay. But what the hell do I say about this one? Jessica did so many anti-Jessica things (I won't reveal them, because almost all are spoilers).But ya know,

This third book was an interesting departure. We know from TV and books alike that it can be difficult to transition a high school series to college as the characters age. McCafferty makes the interesting choice to speed-plot through all of Jessica Darling's undergrad years in one volume. I found myself with narrative whiplash multiple times, as whole semesters sped by in the space of a single journal entry. It made it hard to get attached to anyone Jessica met in college, including boyfriends

This book disappointed me. I had a hard time sympathizing with Jessica this time. Maybe now that she's in college, among her intellectual peers, complaints about how she's surrounded by morons just don't ring true. Not that we saw much of her in class, or in college. All four years were crammed into this one book. I was looking forward to Jessica's wry observations about her fellow students and classes at Columbia University. How would it feel to no longer be the smartest person around, but be

2.5 Stars Megan McCafferty, why are you doing this to me??Jessica is all about WRONG CHOICES. Selfish, stupid, immature, annoying, unsatisfied, weak, kind of a snob, always over thinking, scrutinizing, analyzing others, judging, taking people for granted (Bridget, i.e) and (view spoiler)[ cheating (hide spoiler)] However, I get her. She's a mess, I've been a mess too. I've experienced the feeling that everything is fucked up and there's no light at the end of the tunnel. And even when there's
