Long Term Plans

The Plans #3

by Meg Fitz

Jayden had been in love with Ginny since elementary school, but high school creates a riff in their friendship. After nearly three years in totally different social circles, Jayden and Ginny are partnered together in Mrs. Conroy's English Class. He sees this as a chance to win her back.
Ginny has spent all of high school back and forth between doctor's visits, treatments and trying to pay bills. While she missed her friend Jayden, they lived in two very different worlds. But now that they are writing partners and Ginny's life is spirally out of control, she has to do the impossible. Ask for help.
Long Term Plans takes during Best Laid Plans and Failure to Plan. While Kinsley and Davin are falling in love and having their fairytale romance, Ginny and Jayden are just trying to keep it together.

this book was absolutely precious, so adorable loved jayden and ginny. the relationship between the two just gave me butterflies and made me want to experience that young love.
not only did i like the story but the way the author writes i absolutely loved. something about how she writes i just enjoyed every word she wrote. the way she explains/ describes things. i’m obsessed, such a great story teller.
now davin and kinsley i felt like i didn’t connect much with what i got from them in the initial small novella and even the alternate version of ‘best laid plans’. i just couldn’t really get through them two.
as for my three star rating i really think this is a good read, is it a great one no. is it five star worthy? no. five stars to me is a book i will not stop thinking about ever and a book i will not stop talking about. a five star is a book i would urge someone to read. now a four star is i loved the book. the reason it’s a three star book is because i just didn’t really love the book all that much. it was cute, the writing is great but definitely not something to fawn over. after all it is just a short story. i definitely do think I will read more of the authors work solely because i loved her writing. so if you picked up anything from this review is maybe do try her other books! her writing is great, i loved it and i hope you feel the same.

The story of Jayden and Ginny is a sweet one and breathes life into side characters we all became attached to in Davin and Kinsley's story. The book deals with loss and, like in Ms. Fitz's previous installments of the Plan series, handles the emotions that come during times of upheaval extremely well. I adored the friends-to-lovers trope between Ginny & Jayden and really enjoyed seeing Kinsley and Davin from an outsider's perspective. Following the original timeline and getting a bigger picture of the story was fun.
The alternative stories to BLP & FTP are also included and, while interesting, make you appreciate the path Ms. Fitz took with the novels. Best Laid Plans and Failure To Plan are perfection, as is this novel, and I highly recommend everyone check them out.

I can't wait to check out what's next. Mastodon Security Series by Meg Fitzpatrick? Mafia Romance? Yes, please!

This was a cute novella that pulls at your heartstrings. It'll make you laugh, cry, and even have moments of "awwww". There are also a couple different alternate "what would have happened if..." with Davin and Kinsley's story. I know this is the end of the series, but I'm looking forward to the new direction the author is taking!

Ginny and Jayden are the sweetest side characters. I'm really glad that we were able to see inside their world. I would definitely recommend this quick view into the depths of the "Planned" world.

This was a touching and emotional young adult story. I adored the development of their romance from their friendship years in elementary school till teenagehood, it was very sweet.

I absolutely *adored* this novella from Meg Fitz!! I loved reading Ginny and Jayden's story, because when I read the first two books in the series I always wanted to know more about these two characters. So thank you Meg, for giving us their story! Though it was a novella, it never felt as if there were missing pieces of the story, it felt complete and was beautifully written!
