Jessica Darling series comes to an end

Associated Press

All good things must come to an end. Fans of Megan McCafferty’s Jessica Darling series, which began with "Sloppy Firsts" in 2001, are now coping with that wise old adage as the fifth and last novel in the series, "Perfect Fifths," ($22, Crown) has just been released.

Continuing to follow Darling’s life (she’s now 26 in the novel), "Perfect Fifths" shows her jetting off to be Ministress of Ceremonies at her friend’s wedding. The book will serve as a bittersweet conclusion, finding Jessica Darling and Marcus Flutie reunited (or are they?) again after she turned down his marriage proposal three years ago.

Bagonebagshop (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user—id2191&section—id5550367) on Etsy.com has the perfect accessory for girls (or boys) with change, cards (credit, ID, etc.) and other small items they need to keep close.

The "small pouch" ($7) fits nicely on a key ring so you don’t have to worry about carrying around; just dump it in the purse and go! The fabrics are funky and fun; our favorites are the crocodile- and panda-patterned pouches.
