Synopsis:
Can you love someone too much?
Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.
In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. But just when he thinks he is invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.
Every story has two sides. In Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it’s time to see the story through Travis’s eyes.
I really enjoyed this book, way more than I expected. The first one, Beautiful Disaster, was good, but it was quite a typical love story between these two people that are completely different but that are completely attracted to each other and, of course, they have to end up together. And because of it being predictable, even if I found it pretty good, I think I liked the sequel better. Seeing everything from Travis's point of view was awesome. I guess it must be really difficult for a female author to write from a guy's point of view (it is difficult, I've tried it), but I think she managed to do it quite well, even if Travis may have been a bit too soft for the outer image he tries to give, he was too nice, too perfect all the time. Even his flaws were perfect! I don't know, it wasn't that realistic. But honestly, I have no idea about what do guys think about all the time.
The storyline was good, but it hasn't changed from Beautiful Disaster, so... I liked how Travis really changes during the novel, and seeing the world through his eyes makes everything different. America and Shep were different from Travis's eyes. I like how we got to know more about Travis's family, his parents, his brothers, and Shep. Some details, like the engagement ring he buys before they split up, were nice to know because they had been omitted in the other book. But what I really found too much was the epilogue; knowing about their children, their names (Abby's fake ID names), and what Travis did for a living was a bit out of the theme of the book, like it didn't match the casual way of narrating things in the book.
But overall, it was a nice book, and it kept me completely absorbed and obsessed during the day it took me to read it, just like the first one. It's easy to read, it's quite nice, and, even if it's a typical love story, we all need to read that sometimes.
