So Glad this Book Wasn't Called "Lucky Thirteen"


Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
5 beautiful intense disasterful stars!

In one school year more happened to Abby and Travis than any other couple in the history of time.  I enjoy reading books that change people.  In the story Abby meets Travis the man on campus and everyone loves to hate him.  Women flock to him and he takes home any girl he wants whenever he wants.  No phone numbers no commitments, just sex and then on to the next woman.  Abby is not enamored by his good looks and easy attitude, she’s disgusted by his conceded attitude and can’t help but role her eyes at everything he says and does.  She has a past that she’s not about to share with anyone at her new school and only her best friend America knows what she is running from.  Abby knows from the very beginning that she and Travis would be no good together; she knows that her good luck will run out and he will hate her in the end.  This is a beautiful story of love and redemption. 
I loved Travis.  He is chaos walking and I can’t believe how crazy and wild he is.  His confidence is palpable and his love for Abby or his cute nickname for her Pigeon.  I loved everything about the book.  I loved that there was no chapter 13 and I loved digging up Abby’s past with each new turn of the electronic page.  She is such a girl!  She changes her mind and mixes thing up and does the dumbest things and makes the stupidest decisions.  But that is exactly why she is so much fun to read.

I love that McGuire sees the craziness of the sequence of events and has the characters talk about it so we all know that she knows how crazy it is.  
Read this book immediately!  It is romantic and fun and sad and wonderful.  Keep Reading my Friends!
