"Walking Disaster" by Jamie McGuire (Review)


In the follow up to "Beautiful Disaster," this sequel takes you on the journey of Travis Maddox's perspective, giving you the thrill of knowing he's not the person you would believe him to be in the first book. He shows more or less not much impulse control but Abby Abernathy helps him through it while he pushes her away. While this book is similar to the first, it is nothing alike, different situations evolve while we didn't know of them originally, if you enjoyed "Beautiful Disaster" this is the book for you-

I'm going to give this a 3/5 because it's good  but there's not truly as much drama as the first book.

"Beautiful Disaster" by Jamie McGuire (Review)

This is an enticing romance book that follows Abby Abernathy is her newly begun college days. Abby and her friend went to have a new start, when Abby first meet Travis  Maddox, she doesn't see him romantically. They begin romancing and swooning over each other within the first 100 pages. 

It makes sense, Abby's the new girl in town after all, yet there's the issue of Travis, I got the idea he was more so afraid of commitment than not wanting to stay committed to one person. Many don't like this book as they see their relationship as abusive, while I don't agree, there are areas that I agree upon. For example, one night, while Abby is sleeping or trying to sleep in the other room, Travis brings home a couple girls and has sexual relations with them. I can see this as abusive as Abby is awake and knows it's happening, while it may be unintentional, it may be considered emotional abuse to some. It's all opinionated.

There are parts that make you want to scream and wish you could yell at all of the characters (Travis, Abby, et cetera) but this book is indeed a quick read- I do recommend this book to truly anyone who has a heart for romance all problems aside, it can be a very intriguing romance. It has some themes in it that can be taken in wrong ways but I genuinely believe this is an honest to good book-

All in all, I would rate this a 4/5 stars.
