Fourth Comings - (Jessica Darling) by Megan McCafferty (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

The fourth book in the beloved, New York Times bestselling series - now with a new foreword by Rebecca Serle

Jessica Darling is living the New York City dream. She's subletting an apartment with her best friend, working for a magazine that cares about her psychology degree, and she's still deeply in love with Marcus Flutie.

But then Marcus proposes, and wants Jessica's answer in a week. Is she ready to give up her NYC life of literary parties, art openings, and karaoke downtown to move back to New Jersey? Even if it's to be with the boy (now man) who she's been in love with for years?

Megan McCafferty's Fourth Comings, the next in the hilarious New York Times bestselling series, brings readers once again into the snarky, witty mind of Jessica Darling as she learns that reality is more complicated than dreamy clichés.
