Review Detail

Instead of the typical first-person point of view that the other four books were known for, this book was written in third-person and allowed the readers to finally glimpse at what exactly Marcus is thinking.

There were quite a few times when the plot was extremely boring and lagging because most of the time, it was just a conversation about philosophy between Marcus and Jessica. No offense, but I don't really care about philosophy so I thought the plot moved really slow. Like molasses.

Though the plot was very slow, I appreciated know what exactly lay inside Marcus's head and what he's thinking. It gave a side of him that I never knew about and throughout the five books, I have fallen deeply in love with him. I mean, who wouldn't? And if you haven't, I feel really bad for you.

The entire book took only eighteen hours and though it was mostly about Jessica and Marcus, the other characters had a slight appearance in phone calls, texts, and just plain reminiscing. Sunny, the only new character in the book, though wasn't prominent, was really important in Jessica's feelings and actions throughout the entire book.

Personally, I was quite disappointed with the ending because like typical Marcus-style, it was cryptic. Are they finally back together? Will they get married? What happened to the wedding?

Overall, Perfect Fifths was an interesting conclusion to the Jessica Darling series but I kind of wished that the ending was lots clearer.
