I recommend that anyone who wants to read this book should just go out to their local library and borrow it - I for one do not think it was worth the money I spent. I LOVED the first two books in this series, and rushed out to buy the third one as soon as it hit the shelves.......and boy was I disappointed. The book is four college years crammed into one, so obviously we only get fragmented glimpses into Jessica's life. The story lacks a good plotline, and I dont think anything of any substance happens between the first five chapters and the last five chapters. The character of Jessica does not seem the same, and sure people change once they graduate from high school, but with her it seems like we're reading about two totally different people. My advice: read the first two books, and stop there; leave the rest to your own imagination.
