Loved it!!! I can't say enough about the epilogue, what a perfect ending for these two. Travis's side of their story was so interesting I never felt like I was just reading the same thing over again like I do with some other POV switches. The story was so fresh through his eyes. I highly recommend, but only if you've read Pigeon's side first. This is not a stand alone and would be hard to follow otherwise.
I'm still not sure how I feel about these books that kinda rehash the 1st book's plot just from a different POV. Having said that, I think you do get a bit more insight into Travis' character and the way it doesn't follow exactly the last book you do need to have read that to understand what events he's referencing.
Also, while I am enjoying these series that wrap up in two books the bit we are given about them in the future actually sounded like it could have been an interesting read. C'est la vie.

“Even though we’d put each other through hell, we’d found heaven.”
Reading this through pre-finals week, and I found myself regretting nothing. So much fun, love, and drama. I liked his point of view, much, much better than Abby's.
I don't think anyone beats Travis Maddox. How can someone beat Trav? I'm completely swooned.
Five stars doesn't necessarily present perfection. I don't know how to describe it, but I just really, really loved this. I wish there was more of Trav.

I enjoyed the story enough to read the same thing told from the male point of view. I'm a nerd.
This is Travis's point of view from the story, Beautiful Disaster. I found this to be an excellent companion to the original story told by Abby, Travis's love interest. Not very often do we get to read both points of view through a story, but each novel adds a special touch to the events of these two people meeting and falling in love.
You may think why would you want to read a story twice, but even though the events are the same and the dialogue as well, Jamie McGuire was able to place the reader through the eyes and voice of the narrator. As you read Abby's thoughts in Beautiful Disaster, you wonder why Travis made certain choices or reacted a certain way in their relationship. Walking Disaster allows the reader to understand his reason and to empathize with his situation. i found myself teary during parts of Walking Disaster which did not touch my heart in the first book.
I highly recommend reading both stories; possibly back to back. The prologue and epilogue is different in both books, so unless you are person who likes to peak at the end, I recommend grabbing a box of tissues and diving right into the prologue. It explains so much into Travis's character and why I would live to have one of him in my life.[bc:Walking Disaster|15745950|Walking Disaster (Beautiful, #2)|Jamie McGuire|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1352338368s/15745950.jpg|21436019]

I preferred his POV over hers though he was a bit whiney at times.
I staid up all night reading this book! I am still in love! It was a little repeating. But then again I picked up things I felt I had missed the first time with Beautiful Disaster. This is really a beautiful mess of a story and I can't help the addiction. I am compelled to read twisted loves stories and this one was perfect. I felt like I totally watched as another student or a close friend to Travis and Abby. Completely worth the wait and I cant wait to look into more books by Jamie!
The story of college co-eds Abby/pigeon and Travis Maddox from Travis's POV. The book was good but not awesome. It was great to hear their story as told from his POV. I read Beautiful Disaster when it was initially published and remember the story pretty well. should I have re read it? Maybe. I think I wanted WD so bad therefor it would never be able to live up to my expectations. I hate saying this but I am going to. It just took too long to put out essentially the same story. I have read too many books with alternating POV's within 1 book that it just made it hard for me to love WD.
I have seen a lot people rip on the characters. I am not, I still love them flaws and all. Sure Travis can be a dick, but deep down he is a good guy. You have to understand his story to get him. I am not saying that things he did are right, they just ARE Travis. Abby was a strong pushover, yes that may not make sense to you but it does to me.
The epilogue saved the book for me. To be satisfied I HAVE to know something about their future and Walking Disaster did that beautifully.
