'Beautiful Disaster' Book Review

Other than the fact that this book is remarkable, thrilling, and insanely good, Jamie McGuire's "Beautiful Disaster" compels you to keep turning the pages!

McGuire uses a compelling and powerful voice throughout the novel that makes the reader feel as if they were experiencing the same things the characters were.

The story kicks off with the main characters, Abby and Travis, who meet in college. Travis is a charming, tough bad boy who is known for being the best fighter in town. He meets Abby in one of his fighting rings, and although he is known for being a womanizer, he immediately shifts his attention to Abby and begins his ultimate chase after her.

The story gets told from Abby's point of view; therefore, the reader can truly identify her emotions and thoughts through each situation. Abby has a dark past which makes her believe nothing good would ever happen to her; that is until she met Travis.

Abby was aware of who Travis Maddox and his four older brothers were. Although Travis was seen to be a bad boy, Abby was the complete opposite. She does not drink or swear, and although her personality was the opposite of Travis, opposites attract.

The story kicks off when Travis makes a bet with Abby. He proposes that if he proves to be untouchable in his fight, then she has to live with him for a month if he loses, then he would have to leave her alone for the same amount of time. Of course, he wasn't planning on losing that bet, and he didn't.

As they lived together, one thing was perfectly clear, and that was that they were meant to be together. Throughout the course of the book, Abby and Travis butt heads but end up falling in love. Travis thinks so highly of Abby that he does not believe he deserves having someone so great.

Personally, I fell in love with the way Travis was so protective of Abby. There were certain moments where other men would glance at her or tell her something inappropriate, and he would immediately go haywire.

There are no slow or dull moments in this novel. Each page gets encrypted with such intense dialogue that it lures you into wanting more.

"Beautiful Disaster" is a perfect name to depict Travis and Abby's relationship: a little insane. By insane, I mean the type of relationship that will scream at each other in the middle of a lunchroom and then make up a couple of days after. Their dysfunctional relationship was interesting to read.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
