Ugh. I really liked Beautiful Disaster, and I was looking forward to reading this book. I kept reading and reading, thinking, "at what point is there going to be a different story than what I read in Beautiful Disaster?" There is no point. This is the exact same book, just told from Travis's perspective, which isn't that much different than what you can infer from Beautiful Disaster. I liked Beautiful Disaster, but not enough to read it a second time, so I'm sure not going to go through it again in a "different" book. I feel for the people who actually bought this. I'd be pissed to have wasted my money and my time on the same story.
I mean essentially this is the exact same book as the first but I am a sucker for reading the guy perspective. I noticed a lot more this time how problematic it was and at times just like..... awful or convenient. I don’t know. I like the story for the most part but it’s definitely not my favorite.
When I first started this series I read around 40 pages of beautiful disaster (book 1) and walking disaster (book 2). I found walking disaster more interesting but it makes no difference because while I was reading the plot is the exactly the same but just in different perspectives.
I thought it was really good but I did have a few issues in the middle about the main girl Abby she got a bit annoying but I loved her the ought out the book. And the main character Travis I didn't mind him.

A perfect accompaniment to the first book. I definitely prefer being in Travis' head more.
I am still not sure what I think about this book. I stayed up really late to finish it, even though it was the same book as Beautiful Disaster only written from a different POV, so that must mean something. Since I had read the first one so long ago (okay, a couple of months ago - I have a bad memory), I found myself reading both books at the same time, so I could get both sides of the situation. I didn't like Abby as much this time around. I also didn't like Travis, though, either. There was a review of Beautiful Disaster I had seen on Goodreads soon after I read that book and it kept running through my mind most of the time I was reading this book. The reviewer put heavy emphasis on the abusive aspects on their relationship and how damaging they were to each other. While I was reading the first book, I realized they were both damaged in their own right, but naively I thought it brought passion to the relationship. The more I read this book, from Travis' POV, the more the reviewers voice rang true. Especially the part when she moves back to the dorm and Travis goes completely psycho. Completely. Psycho. Or the night of the V Day party - what a caveman. That review, oddly enough, made me enjoy this book less. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
I am glad that I don't have to read another book in this story. The ups and downs and drama; reading that twice was enough, so I was happy for the epilogue, even if it did seem a little unbelievable. Really? Travis works for the FBI and they live this perfectly happy stress free life? Really? They even have 2.5 kids. I don't know if there was a golden retriever or white picket fence but I wouldn't be surprised if there was. It didn't flow with the story. Travis becoming a UFC fighter, that's believable. "Abby tamed me, marriage calmed me down". Please. It was the author giving the readers a happy ending, which I understand and can appreciate, but it didn't have to be so contrived.
In the end, 2.5 but enough to bump it to a three.

I liked reading Trav's POV. I read Beautiful Disaster a while ago. So it was fun to read this and remember certain parts of the story. The book was well written. Jamie will certainly be an author that I follow!!
Pigeon is still the most stupid nickname I've ever heard...
Esta es la historia a través de los sentimientos y pensamientos de Travis. Él es el típico chico malo que juega con todas las chicas hasta que llega ella y pone su mundo de cabeza.
"Talvez era solo yo. Talvez éramos sólo ella y yo. Talvez juntos eramos esta entidad volátil que puede bien explotar o fundirnos juntos. De cualquier manera parecía que desde que la conocí mi vida se había puesto al revés y yo no queria que fuera de otra manera."
Realmente Travis ha terminado de poner mi corazón a sus pies, es algo mas profundo verlo desde su punto de vista para poder entenderlo mejor. Aunqur hubieron partes en lo que me aburrí por estar repitiendo casi lo mismo, definitivamente no puede haber un mejor final que este para ellos.

It is not many times that a story in just a different point of view can hold my attention. Oh but this one so did, I fell in love with Travis all over again.
So we get a look at the other side of this relationship, but do we really learn anything we didn't already know?
It could have easily been read without the first or vise versa.
