Though things are tangled, complicated and tricky as Jess navigates post-grad life and tries (mostly in vain) to find a job, the matter weighing most heavily on her heart is whether or not to accept a very unexpected proposal from -- who else? -- Marcus Flutie, her first love and on- and off-again boyfriend.Jess's journal entries in the week immediately following the proposal make up FOURTH COMINGS, the penultimate book in the Jessica Darling series. And while this installment lacked the action of the first three books, I think it was definitely an important "chapter" in the overall story of not only Marcus and Jess, but Jessica and Hope, Jessica and Marin, Jessica and her parents, etc.I love McCafferty's books so much, it's hard for me to speak coherently on what makes them so great. Jess is just such a complicated, annoying, flawed, beautiful and real character -- there's something about her that makes her more of a friend than a two-dimensional creation of Megan McCafferty! And while I would have liked more of the novel to take place in the here-and-now, I still really loved seeing Jessica grow, change and develop. And I loved getting the latest news on folks like Manda, Len, Scotty and Bethany.To be honest, I'm in love with Marcus myself... and the fact that Jessica is so undecided about him -- regardless of the fact that I can understand where she's coming from -- is frustrating. I just keep wondering how long she's going to hold him at arm's length as she overanalyzes every step that could take her closer or farther away from the man she so obviously adores. But the real question here is the same one many must face before they make "the leap": With far more differences than similarities between them, is love really enough?Was I satisfied with the ending? No. I felt completely deflated, actually. But all of my questions were answered in PERFECT FIFTHS, the final novel in McCafferty's fantastic series. I wish I could go back in time and read them all over again with a fresh set of eyes. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Not horrible, but not what I hoped for *by M***U on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2007* Like most reviewers, I am a passionate fan of the Jessica Darling books. I loved the first book and adored the second book even more. I was unhappy with Charmed Thirds, and I went into this book expecting to be disappointed and unhappy with the ending. Maybe that's why in the beginning of the book I was annoyed with the actual writing style. I eventually got over that and did find some parts to enjoy. I liked that Jessica spent time with her parents and had a nice talk with her father. Learning about her parents' early relationship gave some insight into why her mother is the way she is. The part where Jessica describes her sister and her sister's friends' lives as MILFs who want OTB (only the best) for their children was good. But I found myself wishing something would actually happen with or to Jessica. Since the whole book covers only one week's time, I suppose that was an unrealistic hope. Only when Jessica learned the secret about her best friend Hope and Marcus's hidden past did I feel a little bit of the old magic coming back.Maybe I'm shallow, but a big part of what I loved about the first two books was Marcus, and the latest two books don't include him much. Jessica thinks about him constantly and addresses him in her letter/journal, but he's not there to answer back. We aren't treated to the banter between the two of them that was so great in the beginning. Not that he's talked much lately anyway. He's turned into this practically mute, non-Buddhist, preachy type who I would probably find annoying to be around.My favorite parts of this book were where Jessica referenced something from the high school years, and that's not a good thing. I could just re-read the first two books if that's what I wanted. I haven't found much to love in the latest two books. I do still admire the writing and I think McCafferty has been consistent in the way she writes Jessica. But for me, it just doesn't work without Marcus. I suppose it is Megan McCafferty's vision to tell Jessica's story and not a sappy romance novel. Like real life, maybe Jessica doesn't live happily ever after with her high school boyfriend. But we're led to believe that Jessica and Marcus have a one-in-a-million kind of connection, and I think that could and should last forever. I hear McCafferty's writing a fifth and final installment in the series. I just hope she gives the fans what they long for, a happily-ever-after ending for the couple we love. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelmed *by G***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2007* After reading the disappointment that was "Charmed Thirds," I wasn't sure what to expect of Fourth Comings. Did I want to subject myself to another potentially disappointing book that would further mar the Jessica Darling I so loved when I was in high school?In the end I decided to buy the book, because at the end of the day, despite the previous installment, I still love Jessica Darling.However, this book was more than a little dull. Despite taking place in the span of a week, the plot was sometimes slow and hard to read. I found myself skimming through more than just a couple pages, wishing that Jessica (or, I guess, Megan McCafferty) would once again find the style of writing that made Jessica such an important part of my literary world a few years ago. I was unsatisfied with the conclusion of the book, the open-ended way the author left it. I was hoping that this would be the final installment in the Jessica Darling series, but was surprised to learn that McCafferty is writing a fifth book.I think it's time for McCafferty to let Jessica go. I just wish that she had done so after the second novel. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/60606567-fourth-comings-a-jessica-darling-novel-paperback-big-book-september](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/60606567-fourth-comings-a-jessica-darling-novel-paperback-big-book-september) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
