Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Julie H

It's been three years since Jessica said no to Marcus Flutie's marriage proposal. He's continued on at school and is now a senior. Jessica works for a group called Do Better High School Storytellers, that allows her to travel the country, mentoring groups of girls for ten weeks at a time. In Perfect Fifths, we get to spend a couple of days with Jessica and Marcus, who run into each other at the airport, one arriving and one departing. Although I've always enjoyed Jessica's tart views, in this story, the we finally get to hear Marcus' spin on things as well, as the narrative shifts between them in parts of the book. It's a good conclusion to the series, whether you believe in fate or not.
