Jessica thought her Pineville, New Jersey life was behind her. Now a young professional, she’s ready to keep moving forward—until she (literally) runs into her former boyfriend Marcus Flutie at the airport on her way to her best friend’s Caribbean wedding. Marcus and Jessica have both changed dramatically, yet their connection feels as familiar as ever. Is their reunion just a fluke? Or is this momentous collision orchestrated by fate?

Readers have followed Jessica through every step (and misstep) from her life as a high schooler, to her years in college, and a twenty-something stumbling towards adulthood. In Perfect Fifths, the hilarious and satisfying conclusion to the Jessica Darling series, readers will finally get a peek inside the mind of Marcus Flutie, with a finale perfect in its imperfections.

Reviews

Praise for Perfect Fifths

“Judy Blume meets Dorothy Parker.”The Wall Street Journal

"Jessica's an original, but her problems are universal, and McCafferty is formidably adept at channeling her self-deprecating, wise-guy voice. If you don't see yourself in Jessica Darling, you're not looking hard enough."Chicago Tribune

“McCafferty looks at travails with humor as well as heart.”People

“Megan McCafferty rocks! Her sharp wit and keen satirical eye make her books automatic must-reads.”—Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Princess Diaries series and Size 12 Is Not Fat

“Such a sharp, funny, poignant heroine, with an inner world we can all relate to. I love it.”—Sophie Kinsella, author of The New York Times bestselling Shopaholic series

"A witty, biting, and altogether true accounting of a girl’s journey to young womanhood, complete with all of the cringe-inducing, hilarious moments of love, shame, and uncertainty that readers will remember from their own lives.”—Jennifer Weiner, author of Goodnight Nobody and Good in Bed

"Alongside Meg Cabot’s novels and the Gossip Girl series, I can’t think of a series more formative to the turn of the millennium YA!"—Book Riot

"Jessica is a captivating, intelligent, acidly funny-but always believably adolescent-narrator who is unsparing in her sketches of Pineville High 'society' yet touchingly alive to her own vulnerabilities."Publisher's Weekly
