Gracie Faltrain Gets It Right (Finally) (Gracie Faltrain #3)
by
Cath Crowley (Goodreads Author)
Gracie:
There are a few options open to a girl who needs to preserve her dignity when she sees her ex-boyfriend holding hands with her number one enemy. Personally, I wish I’d gone with the: ‘It’s lovely to see you, Martin. I’d like you to meet my date, Dan Woodbury’ option.
But I choose option number two.
Jane:

I loved this. Even when I hated it. Even when I cried so hard I couldn't see the words on the page. Because it made me smile through sheets of tears. It made me laugh right after it kicked me to the ground. because it's real and life is hard and sometimes things don't work out how you want them to, but the doesn't mean that the ending you get is a bad one. it just means that life is unpredictable and every cloud has a silver lining.

Review of all three books: 'The Life and Times of Gracie Faltrain', 'Gracie Faltrain Takes Control' and 'Gracie Faltrain Gets it Right'.
World, meet Gracie Faltrain. She’s in year 10, is her school’s soccer superstar and the renegade girl who plays on the boy’s team. Gracie is a phenomenal player, because when she’s on the field she grows wings and never misses a goal. But she plays for herself. She doesn’t pass or share the glory – when Gracie Faltrain plays, she plays to win, and nobody better...more

I was so glad this third book went back to the same format as the first! It makes for such fun reading. :)
I know it's just typical of the genre, but as amusing as all the relationship drama was, I was just over how incredibly straight it all was as well. Just felt too generic at times, but oh well that's probably just me.
Also I still can't forgive Annabelle for the lie about the swings. Sure Gracie may have been a bitch to her in grade six, but Annabelle's been holding onto that lie about being...more

Getting PWNED should officially be changed to getting CRWLEYED.

10 minutes into this book, I texted Noelle, who is on the FIRST day of her vacation by the way,
"If _____ ends up with _____, I'm going to lose my shit and give this ONE star!!"It's no wonder I relate so well to notorious hothead Gracie Faltrain, right? 200 pages of tears, smiles, laughs, and sighs of contentment later, consider my ass CRWLEYED. Spirit author, I'll never doubt again!

Cath Crowley has such a natural way with language and could write about absolutely anything. Her characters are so realistic and full of flaws and quirks and all the elements that set real people apart from literary figures.
Gracie Faltrain is absolutely no exception. There is no heightened drama or serious political issues, just a wonderfully written and totally enjoyable story of a girl trying to get through high school in one piece. And I think we can all relate to that!

We could say that in this last instalment, we finally see a grown-up and matured Gracie. Her past mistakes have taught her something, and she is still her old exuberant self, but has learnt to respect others for what they are, and stopped trying to make them into what she thinks they should be. Now her best friend Jane is back from England, she has been chosen to play in the state trials - an all-girls team this time and former enemy Dan Woodbury might turn into more than a friend. But Martin do...more
I loved 'Graffiti Moon' by the same author, so of course I went to read more. This is a sequel, and unfortunately it didn't stand alone too well. I may have liked it more if I could keep the characters in my head - about three or four girls all with at least one love interest! I didn't feel the connections, and that's probably because they started in book one. Three stars because she writes very well!
I loved this so much! I can't really review what I NEED to talk about (seriously, email me if you read this) without major spoilage so all I will say is this---Behold the power of Cath Crowley: she pulls off things in this book that I didn't think were POSSIBLE. You will say "Nooooo! If she goes there, I will never forgive her! I will HATE IT!" and then she goes there and you give it 5 stars. So impressive. SO awesome.
My favorite of the series and perfect resolution to Gracie's misadventures.
