false<![CDATA[Charmed Thirds]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172623726m/199688.jpg1996887Things are looking up for Jessica Darling. She has finally left her New Jersey hometown/hellhole for Columbia University in New York City; she's more into her boyfriend, Marcus Flutie, than ever (so what if he's at a Buddhist college in California?); and she's making new friends who just might qualify as stand-ins for her beloved best friend, Hope.
But Jessica soon realizes that her bliss might not last. She lands an internship at a snarky Brooklyn-based magazine, but will she fit in with the überhip staff (and will she even want to)?
As she and Marcus hit the rocks, will she end up falling for her GOPunk, neoconservative RA...or the hot (and married!) Spanish grad student she's assisting on a summer project...or the oh-so-sensitive emo boy down the hall? Will she even make it through college now that her parents have cut her off financially? And what do the cryptic one-word postcards from Marcus really mean?
With hilarious insight, the hyperobservant Jessica Darling struggles through her college years - and the summers in between - while maintaining her usual mix of wit, cynicism, and candor.24053442006Charmed Thirdstotal:2196|5:478|4:766|3:714|2:200|1:38|21968034314920525falsefalseSun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006Fri Sep 21 04:49:56 -0700 2007Tue Sep 25 14:44:26 -0700 2007

Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings I was pretty disappointed by this book.
The third in the Jessica Darling series, Charmed Thirds reads less smoothly (it took me a while to get used to the overly detailed -- and annoyingly wordy -- descriptions of everything)...more...]]>

WHY DO THESE BOOKS RESORT TO SHIT LIKE THIS? They are truly, er, charming otherwise.
