After their long summer apart, Ally and Jake were hoping for a drama free senior year. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like things will work out that way...again. — It turns out that Chloe is pregnant and says that Jake is the father. Hammond is pissed at his best friend, but mostly can't believe that Ally would stay with Jake. But Ally is tired of being apart from Jake and is willing to make it work. But that is easier said than done when Jake starts blowing Ally off to go to doctor's appointments with Chloe and Ally joins the school play and meets a new cute guy.
But as graduation approaches, things get more complicated as new secrets come out and Ally realizes maybe Jake isn't the guy she thought he was. After everything they've been through can Ally and Jake get out of Orchard Hill with their relationship intact?
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.
Somehow I missed this series, but wow it sounds like something I would like. Awesome review. I’m off to check out the first books. 😀

I’ve been wanting to read this series for the longest time!! I’ve gotta do it soon for sure!
Now I’m excited since you liked the ending. I loved the first two books but still haven’t read this yet since I’m waiting on the paperback release next month to finally get it.
Whoa, this book seems a little crazy. I don’t think it’s for me, but thanks for the review.
It’s terrible when instead of maturing and growing, the characters just fall into their old ways, their old annoying habits and thoughts and ways of treating others.
This does sound like a fun series though!
It seems soap opera-y in a good way!! Especially with the drama over the guy and the baby and the guy’s girlfriend!
