“One of these days you're going to fall in love, son. Don't settle for just anyone. Choose the girl that doesn't come easy; the one you have to fight for, and then never stop fighting. Never.” ―  Jamie McGuire

I finally got the last two books in the Maddox Brothers series. Love love love Jamie McGuire

“I just want you to know, before I make my promises, that I'm super stubborn. You already know I'm hard to live with, and you've made it clear on dozens of occasions that I drive you crazy. And I'm sure I've driven anyone who's watched these last few months crazy with my indecision and uncertainty. But I want you to know that whatever love is, this has got to be it. We were best friends first, and we tried not to fall in love, and we did anyway. If you're not with me, it's not where I want to be. I'm in this. I'm with you. We might be impulsive, and absolutely insane to be standing here at our age, six months after we met. This whole thing might play out to be a completely wonderful, beautiful disaster, but I want that if it's with you.” ― A Beautiful Wedding, Jamie McGuire. 

I'm just a kid with no ambitions. Wouldn't come home for the world.

B O O K R E V I E W : Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire Rating: 3.5/5 stars Goodreads: 4.2 ⭐ Walking Disaster is the second book in the 'Beautiful' series which is from Travis' POV. We get to see all the events from the first book through Travis' eyes and some new content from when he isn't with Abby. I really liked that we got to see more of Travis with his family, mainly his brother Trenton, which I think the next book will be focused on (not sure yet). Certain scenes were skipped over in this book in a couple of sentences but I'd have liked to see Travis' thoughts etc on some of those. Like when Abby gets cornered by Ethan. I do enjoy Travis and Abby's story but I can't ignore the huge problems that I have with theses books. Travis is possessive, controlling, angry, and overall very toxic. He picks fights with so many people for comments that most would just ignore. He tells Abby that she should change because he can't stand other boys looking at her in certain clothes. He describes her drinking as 'man sized gulps'. All the boys in this book describe having sex with girls as 'bagging' or getting 'bagged' which is really revolting. The comment that I really took offence to was when they were at a Halloween party and Travis describes another girl as looking like a 'transvestite whore' which is disgusting and I really wonder what the author was thinking when she wrote that in a YA romance. The finally chapter is 11 years on and I enjoyed seeing what Abby and Travis were doing and they both seemed happy and to have grown a lot which doesn't excuse any of the toxic behaviour previously in the book but it was nice to see that bad habits had gone with age. I'm looking forward to reading the short novella 'Something Beautiful' which is about Travis' cousin, Shepley and Abby's best friend America who featured a lot in the first two books. They have a more healthy relationship so it will be nice to read about them as main characters. Overall, this book is a very mixed bag for me. I found it really hard to review because of my conflicting emotions. #jamiemcguire #walkingdisaster #simonandschuster #amylittlefordauthor #amylittleford #yaromance (at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI8c1OWFcER/?igshid=1114mgydlzc2j
