This Is So Not Happening (He's So/She's So Trilogy) [Hardcover]

"This Is So Not Happening" follows its preceding books along with its drama.
I don't know about how this books were for others, but this was not my favorite book out of the entire series (and I really did love the first two).
(Spoiler down below! Read at your own risk!)

Ally's and Jake's relationship hits a major roadblock when it was revealed that Chloe was pregnant with Jake's child. The fact that Ally stayed with Jake despite the fact that he slept with Chloe is a true testament as to how Ally loves Jake, especially since Jake was treating her quite badly in this book (if you've read the book, you'll see it--if you haven't, you'll understand the second you read it). He was rude, obnoxious, conceited, and only thought of himself.

How did Ally stick with Jake, especially when Lincoln (the "cute guy" she met in the school play) was so sweet to her? His character was the complete opposite of Jake, and was the guy that Ally needed after everything Jake put her through.

The girls in the novel: Ally, Annie, Shannen, and Faith, did a great job growing up (from the first book to now). It was nice to see the character development for the girls (and to see them get along and share some bonding moments).

The guys on the other hand, I had a hard time believing that they were seniors. Hammond spent half of the novel shoving and pushing Jake because of the grudge he held against Jake for getting Chloe pregnant. The idiot twins--well, I'm not shocked that they were acting juvenile, since they were juvenile in the previous books.

Jake, on the other hand, gave me mixed feelings. At first, I felt sympathetic for him because his life was going downhill the second he finds out that Chloe's pregnant with his baby. Then he started putting Chloe and the baby before Ally, which was okay for me--because it's his child and he should be giving Chloe and their baby some attention. But the way he's handling it ticked me off. It's quite obvious that he was totally more focused on the baby than his supportive girlfriend, who needed some attention from him too. She was going through her own problems too.

Soon Ally and Annie put two and two together and realized that Will might be the father (something readers knew/guessed since the last novel: that Will might be the father since Chloe and Will spent so much time together during the summer). Ally gets her hopes up and tells Jake this, only for Jake to get angry at her and shoot her down. By this point, it's obvious that Jake wants to be the father of the baby. He gets defensive and protective and yells at Ally. He's in a state of denial, since he can't accept the fact that Chloe might have slept with somebody else (Will) besides him. I'm surprised that he didn't realize that Ally was just looking out for him--but then again, he was in love with the fact that he was going to be a father.

So when the real father was finally revealed, Jake gets all "butt hurt" over the fact that he wasn't the father. I was glad to see him angry at Chloe, since her reasons for picking him to be her "baby daddy" was slightly kind of selfish--but my dislike for him grew when he, along with a Hammond and a few of their friends heckled her and shouted obscene, rude things at her. (One of them shouted, "moo!" at her). The boys had a fun time cackling over it. It's nice to see Hammond and Jake finally bond, but over the fact that they both hate Chloe? Not so nice or great. It's such a shame that the author had to ruin these two for me. I actually liked Hammond and Jake in the first two novels up until this point.

Jake also gets mad at Ally for defending Chloe, because she's supposed to "side with him" since she's his girlfriend. Last thing I remember, he wasn't even really there for her the entire novel so why is he so surprised when she's defending Chloe? Is there some kind of a double standard going on here? That she always has to agree with him and be there for him, but not vice versa?
If I was Ally, I would have defended Chloe too. Sure, Chloe has pulled some bad moves (like her decision to pick Jake as the "baby daddy") but she was just scared. She didn't pick him to be her "baby daddy" because she hates him or anything. If only Jake realized this instead of jumping on the "I hate Chloe" bandwagon right away.

In the end, after all the drama that Jake and Ally endures, they get the "happy ending" that the two of them deserved. I'm glad that they finally get their happy ending, because it's obvious that the two of them do not need any more drama in their lives.

This Is So Not Happening is the third and final book in the He's So/She's So trilogy by Kieran Scott. While I truly loved She's So Dead To Us and He's So Not Worth It, I found This Is So Not Happening to be rather lackluster.

The characters are in their senior year of high school and honestly they acted worse than they did in the first book. They didn't grow at all throughout the course of the trilogy. They were immature, petty, mean, and jealous. All they cared about was popularity and they were willing to do anything for it. I felt that the only one who was actually a good person was Ally and she was like that from the start. Then there was Jake. Gullible, naive, rather stupid Jake. Don't get me wrong, I totally crushed on the guy but sometimes I wanted to slap him for his stupidity. Luckily towards the end of the book he definitely started to shape up and I started to see the guy from the first book that I really loved.

The story was just plain crazy but it actually turned out to be a little predictable. The ending of the last book was a major cliffhanger and it was the perfect lead in to this final book. Chloe is pregnant and she claims the baby is Jake's. Jake takes responsibility and is willing to help Chloe take care of the baby. Through all this Ally decides to stick with Jake since he hooked up with Chloe when they were broken up. (Props to Ally for that.) However, Chloe really starts to take advantage of Jake throughout her pregnancy and Ally starts to get fed up. Drama ensues, making for quite a few laughs and lots of shocking (or not so shocking) reveals.

I will give this book one thing: it's impossible to put down. I truly grew to love all the characters throughout the course of the trilogy and I wanted to know how things would end for them. I admit, the ending was a little too perfect but I was left with a smile on my face which is really all I wanted from this trilogy.

Overall, This Is So Not Happening will please fans of this trilogy. Everything is tied up nice and neat and readers won't be left questioning anything. I consider it the perfect ending.

My Thoughts: These books are always so crazy, yet so good. After that ending in the last one, I about peed my pants!

We are back with Jake and Ally and things are even crazier for them. They just got some pretty awkward and messy news and neither one is really sure how to deal with it. What are they going to do? Are they going to stay together or not?

This one is full of drama just like the others. I also love all the side characters once again. I love their friends, I love the setting, I love all the details we get! I also love how it switches back and forth.

The plot of this one, well I didn't like it as much as the first two. I think because this story has been done a few times and it just wasn't as thrilling as I thought it was going to be, or maybe because some time had passed from when I read the last book.

I did like the side stories though, such as Ally's mom getting married, and Ally deciding what college she was going to attend.

I am glad I read this and it was a great finish to the series. I'm happy and delighted with the way it ended.

Overall: Happy with the way this one went. I'm a little sad to see the series end since I really enjoyed it from start to finish. A great set of characters! If you haven't read this series yet, please pick it up soon!

Cover: Love it! I love these covers! And this one is so cute! They are always so bright and I could see this scene really happening.
