Perfect Fifths by Megan McCafferty

I’ve been thinking awhile about what to say about Perfect Fifths by Megan McCafferty.  This books ends the Jessica Darling series, and it is a much anticipated, perfect end.  After having read the four previous books in the series, I have gotten to know the characters well.  In this story, Jessica Darling and Marcus Flutie run into each other at an airport, after not having spoken for three years.  Unfolding in the course of eighteen hours, the story has sections written entirely in dialogue and entirely in haiku.  I originally wasn’t sure how the change from the first person format of the first books would work, but the flow is wonderful.  Not gonna lie, I teared up a little at the end – in part because I was sad the story was over, and in part because it was just that good.  So then I read it again.  Seriously, good book.  Go read it.
