I'm not sure why it took me forever to read the last installment of this series when I was borderline obsessed with the rest of them.
Jessica and Marcus bump (literally) into each other.
It didn't feel like a full reunion without the rest of the people I'd read about. But I guess, they really couldn't be in this one. It was about Jessica and Marcus.
I'm not sure how I felt about this one. I was entertained, I guess. But, it was very talky and for some reason made me think of The Gilmore Girls if the show was about exes as opposed to a mother and daughter.
The ending was happy though. I wasn't sure it would end up that way. 3.5 stars

Honestly, a perfect ending to this series. It tied a lot of loose ends together and made them complete.

Very satisfying end to Jessica's novels, the author gives the readers what everyone's been wanting all along without putting it on a silver platter.

I was more than a bit disappointed by this last installment. I loved that time had passed since Jessica and Marcus had last seen each other, but it bothered me that he seemed OK with out her, (though still in love, and she seemed to be falling apart without him. There was also a lot of filler in the book. I really didn’t need her crazy dream sequences to go for more than one page, or their haikus back and forth which were hard to follow.
I liked the sections that were pure dialogue, but I wanted more to happen in this book. I wanted them to get to a different place together and then have to deal with that. Just staying at the airport seemed too safe. I as always enjoyed reading their uber-intellectual dialogue, but I felt like the ending was too easy, too perfect, and maybe they have changed too much to be together again.

Wow. Ok. This book is fantastic. Before I started reading, I checked some reviews to see what to expect. Most people said the book read like fanfic, the series has done nothing but go downhill, the book should not have been written at all, etc.

I thoroughly disagree. I couldn’t put this down, but when I had to as sleep called for me, I had nonstop dreams about it.

The inevitable happened, in true Jessica and Marcus fashion. I only had a couple complaints, like Lorna wasn't the ex that made the toilet seat, it was Sierra, and that haiku section was kind of annoying, and I realize this was about getting Marcus and Jessica back together but I would have liked more about Bridget and Percy's wedding.
