Megan McCafferty Love

Jessica Darling Series.

technicolorpixie:

I finally finished the whole series yesterday. All I can say is that this book never fails to make me feel kilig (twitterpated/ love-struck/ smitten?) every single time.

The story is about Jessica Darling as she goes through a lot of things: bestfriends moving away, highschool, Marcus Flutie, relationships, college, complications and Barry Manilow songs. But I believe that it’s Marcus Flutie’s character that has made me (and I believe- all the other girls out there who has read the book) fall in love. It is Marcus’ and Jessica’s unique relationship that has gotten me turning every page with such excitement.

I may not have been able to put into words how much I love this series, but I think that you (yes. you.) should absolutely read it. ♥

Jessica, Darling!

sandsummer:

I am a fan of adolescent angst. Its rarely-righteous indignation always helps set my own problems in perspective. Also, it makes me unconscionably happy to not be an adolescent. With this appreciation for adolescent angst comes a love for books in the young adult section of libraries/bookstores as opposed to age-appropriate fare (like the what can you do with a ____ degree? books that keep turning up on Amazon’s recommended list). Since summer has given me ample time to read drivel, I’ve chosen some choice passages from Megan McCafferty’s Jessica Darling books to share why I love not having to think when reading. In spite of its targeted age group, there is boundless truth in her words:

There is no guarantee of success in this world, not even for those whose lives are as charmed as yours. So have fun now! Do it! Put down the books! Do something stupid while you’re still young enough to chalk it up to blissful ignorance! -Page 299

My favorite passage (A Collection of Theories Trying to Explain Why I Kissed a Republican and F-ed Up My Relationship) is worth its weight in comedic relief:

The Biological Pull Theory: I recognized that with his good genes and Ivy League education, William could be a better provider for future offspring, so I kissed a Reupublican

The Psychosocial Theory: I am in the identity versus role confusion stage of development, during which it is perfectly normal to want to try out a skanky persona, so I kissed a Republican. 

The Situational Theory: I was drunk off my ass, so I kissed a Republican

The Humanistic Theory: I have a history of doing things I otherwise wouldn’t do when under the influence of mind-altering chemicals, so I kissed a Republican 

The Cognitive Dissonance Theory: I missed Marcus, and I didn’t want to miss him so much anymore, so I kissed a Republican

I am rofl-ing as I type.

blamebyron:

i adored the jessica darling series (read it immediately. run, do not walk, to the nearest book vendor, be it a shop or the internet, and purchase the series. you will not be disappointed and you will fall in love), but this is very different. it’s a sort of alternate world where most of the population is rendered infertile at the age of 18, so teenagers become very important in carrying children. teenage pregnancy is positively encouraged, sometimes with a financial incentive. i really enjoyed the book, but it is narrated by a set of twins and i could not stand one of them, which made it slightly less enjoyable. i don’t want to say too much, but i really recommend it. it raises interesting questions, but isn’t really heavy or dark, so it’s an easy read.

Day Seven: the Hottest Character

Alright. Had to think a lot about what to choose.

Marcus Flutie - The Jessica Darling series by Megan McCafferty

I swear to whatever divine force in the universe that I believe in, he’ll remain the hottest, most swoon-worthy fictional character for me ever. 

Let’s get one thing straight - I have not yet completed the 3rd, 4th and 5th book in the series; I started 3rd, didn’t like it much, and I have read reviews and know spoilers, and..let’s just say that I never really got encouraged to finish the last three. If I do go back and read them (which I will, but I don’t know when), it would probably be for him ad him alone.

“Most people talk when they have nothing to say. I’€™m not talking because I have too much to say. None of which I’d want you to hear.”

Marcus Flutie for life forever.

“I confess, yes, our Fall was all my fault 

If you kissed my eyes, your lips would taste salt 

But you think my regret is a lie, and the tears I cry 

Are the crocodile kind.”

“I won’t narc on you, cuz.”
