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.

Oh my goodness....I love Travis Maddox. That is all.
Beautiful Disaster fans will absolutely LOVE Walking Disaster. I found the story to be more amazing from Travis's point of view! I can't wait to read it again and again. I promise that Jamie McGuire fans will not be disappointed by Walking Disaster! Way to Go Jamie, Way to go!
I was ready to trash this book until I read the epilogue. It is always so interesting to see where the characters are years later. This was an interesting development!
Anyway, it was kind of frustrating to read Abby's and Travis' shenanigans all over again but I guess it made me understand Travis more.

"..I just wanted to hold my wife. It was all I had ever wanted to do. I was just as in love with her in our eleventh years as I was in the first.
..Every anniversary was a victory, a middle finger to everyone who thought we wouldn't last. Abby tamed me, marriage settled me down, and when I became a father, my entire outlook changed."
Sorry folks, but I just revealed my favorite part and your worst spoiler too.
Yep! With a capital "Y", this second book after "Beautiful Disaster" is even more fantastic. I'm giddy almost everytime entering Travis mind and perspective with his relationship with Abby. And nope, as far as almost half the world hate these two books, I'm proud I have read them. I can't ignore the fact that I'm a romance-story sucker the entire time I was onto both of them.
Travis here portrayed a matured personality already. He changed. A lot. I love him more in here. This just proves how LOVE is as so mysterious as the unders of the oceans. No matter how womanizer a man can be, someone will walk in his life and turned it upside down. This ain't just a fiction work buddies. This could happen in real life. And how fascinating would it be if there's a true TRAVIS MADDOX out there? Right! I must know him!
Must say good job Jamie. Thanks for your Travis Maddox fantasies. F*ckin love these two books of yours!

When I read Beautiful Disaster - in the beginning - I did not like the story. But by the time it ended, I loved it. Strange, right? I thought so. Until I realized what the problem was; it was Abby. I didn't get her. Her motivations, her feelings and I especially didn't see what she saw in Travis. Frankly, I was close to ditching the book... and then it happened. Travis got to me. Something about him, violence and all, intrigued me. Behind the rage, I saw the sweetness. Or, maybe that's going to far. Rather, I saw the potential for sweetness. So, I decided to give Walking Disaster a chance and...
Wow!!! This insane love story was absolutely amazing when told from Travis's perspective. I have to admit that I loved the story more, almost immediately, from his perspective. It felt like an entirely new; it truly was a different experience. Which, I assume, was McGuire's ultimate goal with writing this book.
With Walking Disaster, I didn't just see Travis in a new way. He made sense. All of his anger, rages and violence seems more understandable. I am not saying it was right for him to be just as aggressive in the real world as he is in the ring, but I understood what fueled his rage and how he using rage to cope with the different situations in his life. It was better for me to experience what he was experiencing when the anger took hold, instead of just hearing about Travis going off the handle from Abby. Also, I think seeing Travis interact other people besides Abby - his brothers, his father, Shepley and even America - made me understand and like him even more.
What was the most compelling was how my feelings about Abby changed after reading this book. Surprisingly, I liked her from start to finish. There was just something about seeing Abby through Travis's eyes made me connect with her. She felt sweeter, softer and more precious - almost worth his crazy, possessive and unwavering love and devotion. I really felt his growing need for her, what she represented to him and the extreme extent to which he cared for her. How his perspective and feelings towards the world at large changed as time progressed and he fell deeper for her. It was beautiful.
I think McGuire did an excellent job telling the same story from a male's perspective and making this story feel fresh. I prefer Walking Disaster to Beautiful Disaster, most definitely.

I love it when a romance/new adult book is written in the point of view of the guy. It makes a lot of things that I’ve seen before seem new. And dsñlfkja did an excellent job of adding new dimension to an already familiar character, enough so, that I found myself forgetting at times that I already knew where the story was heading.
Travis is a great character, even when Abby was the focus in Beautiful Disaster, it felt like Travis had more depth of character to explore. WD not only gives you an account of what happened in his point-of-view, it also explores his past and makes him even more loveable. I spent most of the book just wanting to give the guy a hug.
The things that happened in the Epilogue seemed to come a bit out of nowhere, but it was nice to see what the future looks like for Abby and Travis. It was a nice little extra to get to see what “happily ever after” looks like.
My one problem with the book (minor but worth mentioning) is that time flows in bizarre ways. One minute I’m reading about the characters leaving a party at 2am and the next they’re cooking dinner and going about their day like it’s mid-afternoon. A tad perplexing, but nothing biggie.
Overall, I actually liked this better than Beautiful Disaster.
