Oh goodness! Mallory has one week left in London and her life is about do an 180. She has a lot going on in her life in general but adding boys to the mix, it makes her crazy! I need book 4 like now!

Yet another car crash, but apparently a bingeworthy one. 

We maintain the use of the word "banters" and the interview-esque communication, but otherwise, an interesting book with a WTF ending

I honestly don't know how Mallory's brain works half the time. She just whines and then snaps. It is kind of hilarious in a way. 

Noah is also not exactly innocent here. He's a sneaky one, acting like he gives a damn about his friend is a bit rich, but hey, it's a book, so I'm going to pretend it makes sense lol

That ending, though. Like imagine telling a woman you'd make it work just to do that. Like, wow. Not a Harry fan either. 

Everyone should just date Mohammed. We love our Mo Mo

This book and series is a must read! Fair warning holy cliff hanger! Jillian Dodd is such a great writer. she tells such great stories and it makes you feel like your part of them. Mal is so relatable and she makes me feel like I am back in high school trying to understand my feelings. Mal loves two guys but which one does she love more? I felt her pain, heartbreak, anger, happiness and everything in between. I thought I knew how this book or series was going to go but boy was I wrong. I literally yelled out when Harry broke up with Mal and then she made Noah kiss her in front of everyone! Such a crazy twist of events at the end! I can't wait for the 4th one because I NEED it. I think this may be my favorite series from her. This series may feel or look like its young adult but it is not! Pick it up and you won't regret it! you are going to fall in love with Mal, Noah, Harry and Mohammed as much as I did!

Aaaaargh!
What the heck was that ending!?
I'm sooooo amped up and stunned and a million other things after that ending.
I'm still 100% team Noah, though Harry is super sweet!
I NEEEEEED the next book- like, now!

3.5 stars! I’m obsessed with Mal and Noah! But her and Harry are so dang adorable. This book was super long which was great but sometimes I feel like Mal has too much inner dialogue. She makes valid points and I get being that young you need to talk things out, but it’s hard to always read the thoughts she has. Mohammad is AMAZING. He is the best friend a girl (or guy) can have. This was all around a really cute story. It makes me wish I had an exchange program in high school.

Okay y'all, I was lucky enough to receive not only an e-arc or London Prep 3, but also a PB arc with loads of book swag. Thank you again to @jilliandodd for being kind enough to send them to me!
This book was 100% my favorite of this series so far (and the longest. Lol.) This book was filled with the perfect amount of drama, angst, romance, and comedy. (Thanks Mohammed!)
I loved everything about this book and I can't believe Mallory's 3 weeks are over! I cannot wait to see what happens in book 4 at her going away party!
If you've read these, are you team Noah or Team Harry? I think by now you guys know which team I'm on!
Thank you again @Jilliandodd for writing such amazing books and making me become so invested in the characters! I can't wait for book 4!

Okay so I went into this book thinking it was the last book since it’s Mallory’s last week in London. I am way too emotionally invested in these books and characters, but I’m okay with that. I was so sad that Mallory had to leave. I was not ready to let go of Mallory, Harry, and Noah. This book was so angsty I LOVED IT. Also, GOOD NEWS. It’s not the last book. BAD NEWS. We don’t have book four yet. That ending was jaw dropping and I cannot wait to read what comes next!

Gah! The tension! The banter! The ANGST! I’m not usually a fan of love triangles, but this one gives me LIFE! Still getting major Gossip Girl vibes, and I’m on to book #4!
