The third installment in Megan McCafferty's beloved, New York Times bestselling series - now with a new foreword by Rebecca Serle.
Life finally seems to be going right for Jessica Darling. She escaped the New Jersey suburbs and attends Columbia University in New York City. She’s more into her boyfriend, Marcus Flutie, than ever—even if he’s at a college across the country in California. And she’s making new friends who can’t quite compete with her beloved bestie, Hope, but at least come close.
If Jessica thought high school was hard, college brings a whole new set of challenges. She snagged an internship at a Brooklyn literary magazine, but will she ever fit in with the snarky staff? Can she even make it to graduation after her parents cut her off financially? And will her long distance relationship survive the pursuit by three new—and radically different—love interests?
With the signature wit, cynicism and candor the series is famous for, Charmed Thirds takes readers on an unforgettable journey through Jessica Darling's hilariously complicated college years.

"Though I still adore it, Charmed Thirds is my least favorite installment of the Jessica Darling story. I found it depressing that she did not like the school of her dreams, and her time broken up with Marcus is too upsetting for me to handle. "
— Laurel (4 out of 5 stars)
" The third book about Jessica Darling chronicles Jess's time in college at Columbia University. It was longer than the other two and did seem to possess a slightly "older" tone. It was a good read and a good addition to the series. "
— Marissa, 5/8/2011" 2.5 stars. Not charming, unfortunately, just quite pointless. Oh, how I loved you in your first two books Jessica Darling. "
— Nicole, 5/5/2011" Not as strong as the first two, but an interesting addition to the series. "
— Sarah, 4/6/2011" I LOVED this. It was so interesting to see the character mature and evolve. I feel like I'm growing up with her. Some of the Marcus stuff was random but great book! "
