"Beautiful Disaster is insanely addictive. Beautifully sexy, beautifully intense, and beautifully perfect. Jamie McGuire has written a damn good book." —Jessica Park, author of New York Times bestseller Flat-Out Love"Characters, backstory, goals, motivations and conflicts are a great mix of angst, crippling inner demons and harsh real life. The pace has a rhythmic beat of two steps forward, four steps back as Abby and Travis grapple with their fierce attraction. Jamie McGuire writes with no holds barred. She writes with honest reflection on young people who move through life by their own rules...The entire cast lives hard, fights hard, and certainly loves hard. Deliciously intense." Source: USA Today Jamie McGuire is the New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Sacrifice, Beautiful Redemption, Beautiful Oblivion, A Beautiful Wedding, Red Hill, Walking Disaster, and Beautiful Disaster. She and her husband Jeff live with their children just outside Enid, Oklahoma, with three dogs, six horses, and a cat named Rooster. Please visit JamieMcGuire.com.
A New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller about a good girl dangerously drawn to the ultimate bad boy.
The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
:] I think I’m the only person on my GoodRead’s list that has read this book and didn’t fall in love with it. Maybe it’s because I read, mostly, adult books filled with lots of sex, but thought this whole book I keep saying to myself “I am reading the vanilla teen version of Fifty Shades of Grey!”At first I liked Travis. Most girls have a thing for a bad boy with tattoos, sadly. I even liked the whole “act like you aren’t interested and immediately they will become interest” because that s*** is real! I loved how Abby wasn’t affected by him. Then she caved. And instead of me being like “Oh, wow, he’s changing for her” I was like “This s*** is getting creepy… FAST”! He is on the fast track to becoming a wife beater and/or murder. Like, about 70% of the time I was reading, I was just picturing Mark Wahlberg in Fear. I’m seeing all these poles where girls are voting him “hottest book boyfriend” and now that I’ve finally read this I’m over here like “WUT!?” Travis = Bats***. End of story! PS – Pigeon is the stupidest nickname ever! (It had to be said!) Stage three creeper things Travis did off the top of my head: 1) trashed the apartment and ripped the door from the hinges the night after she gave him her virginity (Anna Steel Style), 2) The tattoos, 3) The grabbing her ass while staring down other guys interested in Abby, 4) Redecorating his room with pictures and items from times with her (FEAR STYLE, AGAIN), 5)Having a wedding ring picked out, just chilling in your night stand 6) Beating up everyone in a killer like manner that so much as hints about his little pigeon in a negative light.Abby, oh Abby where do I even begin with you? At first I liked you, I really did. How did you slip so far? She would get upset over the most stupid things, then contemplate going back with him (after he stepped way over the bats*** bar) and then he’d act normal and she wouldn’t be interested. I was so confused through have the book. I am a girl, and I went to college, and I dated lots of guys. I have never even heard of a girl acting like this. I just think she is a masochist that likes to cry and be in pain. Then the whole time I’m thinking it’s because of her big dark secret! Then it surfaces: She’s the daughter of a famous poker player who went broke and blames her. Again… WUT?! And I couldn’t have been the only person to think she was ALWAYS going to get pregnant every time they had sex, either!I thought the author wrote well, and this book was a very easy read, but it should have taken place in a high school instead of college. Even at a small private college rumors do not circulate like that. People do not always eat lunch together, at the same lunch table, in the same seats, every day in college. Especially the “I sit at the table with the football players” s***! My lord. And what kind of school has this underground fight club where tons of people show up and a tatted up bad boy who is constantly beating everyone who looks at his best friend/girlfriend into a bloody pulp, and NEVER have any cops/teachers/author figures at all notice?My biggest problem with this story is I really never knew what direction the story was supposed to go it. I think if she would have ended the story at the 40% mark, it would have been a cute little story that high school girls swoon over. Sexy bad boy, smart girl that doesn’t give in the peer pressure and have sex with him, fun friends, cute parties, smart girl shows bad boy there is more than sex and that love is better, the get together, the end. But no no no, after the 40% mark I was thinking that 1) she was going to get pregnant and make this into a lifetime movie real quick, or 2) he was going to snap and kill someone and go to jail, then 3) he was going to get a tattoo that says “PIGEON 4-EVA” on his chest, kidnap her, and the whole time while torturing her he would mutter to himself “if I can’t have you no one will!”The best part of the whole book was when Abby got close with Travis’ family, his father especially. The whole “mommy issue” he has is very sad and tugged at my heartstrings. It also explained to me why he is so bats***, where Abby really doesn’t have an excuse. But the Thanksgiving at this house was one of my favorite parts of the whole book.One last thing, I could not have been the only one that thought that tattoos where almost the craziest thing in the book? I love tattoos, I am very attracted to men with tattoos, but if I dated a guy for a few weeks and he got a tattoo about me, I would see that as a red flag. I thought she did too, but she got an even creepier tattoo! The ending felt so thrown together and rushed it was unreal to me. The wedding really did come out of left field. I hated how she picked Vegas after that whole stupid side story, when she could have just as easy gone to a courthouse. Then she didn’t invite his family or her friends? They couldn’t wait two days? It was just the bats***cherry on this whole crazy sundae.Beware, its just more trash on the bestsellers list by a mediocre writer! I purchased this book about 5 years ago and am just getting around to reading it, and all I can say is that I wish I hadn’t wasted my time. To sum it up, its a trashy book with a ridiculous storyline by an author with mediocre (if that) writing skills. To say its just a step above a harlequin romance is even pushing it, as i’d assume that many of those books are written better than this fluff. The characters in ‘Beautiful Disaster’ are unrealistic and lack depth of any type, as does the storyline, and everything about it is just so incredibly unbelievable and unidentifiable, unless of course ridiculous and fantastical characters and plot lines are what youre looking for. I purchased this in part because of its ‘bestseller’ status, but how this book became a New York Times Bestseller completely eludes and baffles me. This author has had a couple of books (which she is likely able to crank out in a matter of weeks based on her minimalist writing skills) on the bestsellers list, which I absolutely cannot comprehend. I read all of the Twilight and 50 Shade series, and can say that although those (books) had some silly plot twists and characters, they were much more believable, identifiable, and simply, they were just better written works than this trash. Also, i purchased this because it was sold as an adult read, however, it is obviously written for and geared toward tweens (although I wouldnt wish this upon my tween), so I consider the publishers ploys to be a form of false advertising (or maybe im just a sucker because I bought into the ‘bestseller’ hype). Ultimately, my advice is save your money, don’t pay attention to ‘bestseller’ ratings, and if you want a story about (late) teen angst, lots of raging hormones, and one that is (unintentionally written) about dysfunctional men and codependent weak women, opt instead for the Twilight series. What an utter disappointment and waste of time...at least due to the remedial writing skills of the author, I was luckily able to get through it in a couple of days and kept the waste to a minimum!
