It turns out the nagging voice had one thing right, though: the plot is, well, kind of shallow. The first book is classic girl falls in love at first sight, girl pines over boy, boy may or may not like girl, the-more-boy- plays-hard-to-get-the-more-girl-goes-crazy stuff.
And did I mention that there are a lot of kisses in these books? Because there are. Looking back, I was doomed from the start. This series is a love story through and through, and as a hopeless romantic sap, this is my ultimate kryptonite. There are also some editing mishaps, from little things like spelling errors to bigger ones like repetition of dates. Considering the entire series is written in diary entry format, they should have been extra scrupulous with this.
I can give ten reasons why I do not regret going to nine bookstores just to continue reading about the convoluted love story of two very difficult people. I loved it for the simple reason that I am a girl who thinks that girls who keep diaries are kindred souls and because I am also the girl who will always swoon over art boys with floppy hair and brooding good looks.
Yes, the books are shallow. Obviously, so am I. I started the first book; French Kiss , on Saturday night and by Monday morning, I'd finished the final book. Talk about an addictive series! In the third and final book, Sarra Manning brings us more drama. Edie and Dylan are still together but her parents are ca "You're not my friend," I said slowly, glancing at Dylan's tense face.
Edie and Dylan are still together but her parents are causing some problems for her. Her mother doesn't approve of Dylan but now Edie's eighteen, she can do what ever she wants, even if that's a trip to America during the summer, with Dylan.
So, that's what they do! Edie and Dylan hit the road and take in the sights of America but of course, trouble always seems to find them Sealed with a Kiss brings so many more hard times for these lovable characters. Both Edie and Dylan are not without their problems and for teenagers, of course they make mistakes but that's what I love about them.
Their such an entertaining couple to read about, even though there's been so many highs and lows to their relationship, I love them and I'm honestly sad to see them go, but it's definitely the right time to end their story.
Staying true to the series, author Sarra Manning sends Edie and Dylan on another road trip and this time it's America. I really found it great when they started going on the road, it has laugh-out-loud moments and it had sad moments. I love the way their are so many mis-understanding between the characters but by the end, I was ready for their happy ever after. I would have loved a epilogue set in the future, however, it wasn't really needed.
In all, Sealed with a Kiss was a great finale - even with all the drama and I'm even more eager now to read something else by this author. View all 4 comments.
Jun 07, Elizabeth rated it it was amazing. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Edie has changed so much since the first book when she was a sensible girl that worked so hard at school. And now she has love life has flipped. There are points where she is about to abandon her friends there are points where she puts her friends first and there are points where she is just so weird but I mean it literally literally pulls at your heartstrings and makes you want to be there Frankly it's because it was just average, and it bored me.
And I really didn't want to have to put that in words. While I really enjoyed French Kiss , it came with a sort of caveat that the series would show a lot of character growth and development. Kiss and Make Up was a hot damn mess and I rather disliked it, though I saw the realism in it and the potential for the series ender to impress me again.
It just didn't. By the third book you'll have gotten used to the obvious chemistry between Edie and Dylan. And it's just more of the same, to be honest. And more of the same in the sense that it became a little boring It just didn't stand out in this book. What bothered me the most though about their relationship is that Dylan still went back to his hot-cold attitude. They go on a road trip through America together and at a certain point he just shuts her out again and they break up again and yada yada yada.
Character development was also sorely lacking, as Edie still reverts to catty fighting with her "BFF" Poppy. Arguably it was all Poppy's fault, but Edie frustrated me with her refusal to just sit down and talk it out with Poppy.
That's what friendships are made of. It all gets fixed in the end, but seriously what an annoyance. However, I did like her friendship with Grace and how that developed.
Sadly it wasn't that large a part of the story. But I dunno, the plot rather bored me, though this isn't really the kind of book where you should actively be searching for a plot.
What more we got to know about Dylan didn't really impress me. The road trip was confusing to me - especially the route they take. Since I am very aware of the geography of the US, I was wondering if the author even consulted a map during the writing of this book, because it went zigzagging, crisscrossing all over the place. It made no sense. It's not that big of a deal, no, but yeah, I was that bored with the story that I started nitpicking that far. What ultimately bothers me the most is that the lack of clear character development could mean that, though this book ends on a rather rosy note, Dylan could have another hot-cold streak the next week, they could be breaking up in the next month, and it could all just keep going on and on in circles forever.
While I get that that's real life, and this is a slice of life story I had hoped for more. Summing Up I wasn't reading this to get the 5th season of Gossip Girl that clearly should have ended after season 2. That's how reading this book felt.
The series just lost its charm. I don't know how it could have been better, but I'm thinking that this just shouldn't have been a series. It should have ended after the first book, because what did they do after that? It was a lot of running around, breaking up and making up, and all this kind of bullshit which, in the wrong mood which I clearly am now at the time of writing this, though I wasn't really while reading it , really doesn't add anything.
I do still have faith in her, in spite of this series ultimately letting me down. GIF it to me straight! Recommended To: Umm, just read the first one and stop? Sep 04, Em-em rated it it was amazing. What can I say I am sad and happy at the same time. Sad because the series has ended I am going to miss Dylan and Edie. I like reading about the two of them. I just can't put a name on that feeling.
I laugh, I feel sad, happy and in love. Their relationship is never free of any misunderstanding but all relationships are like that. I love that Edie has finally grown up. On the second book she realized that boys should not be the ones to define her life.
Here, on the third book she is starting to What can I say I am sad and happy at the same time. Here, on the third book she is starting to be more mature and she handles situation much better than the first and the third book.
She turned out to be a very strong girl. Another sad thing is that they are going for a long distance relationship. I know that the two of them have become more comfortable and mature about their relationship that they are able to have a good relationship even when they are far away still, it is sad.
Anyways that was at the end of the book. In the most parts I was happy and I really fell in love reading about the two of them. Dylan and Edie are a funny couple. I wish for a fourth book. I wish that in that book Dylan and Edie will get married. But can you blame me? I wish that I have a relationship like theirs.
When Edie said "i love you art boy" I wish that I have an art boy like Dylan. Even if the story ended like that the two of them starting a long distant relationship I know that the two of them will be okay. Dylan is super in love with Edie and Edie feels the same way about Dylan. With the love like that and a strong will like Dylan's and Edie a happy ending is sure to be just in the horizon. I will definitely miss Edie and Dylan.
