A review by sofreudian
Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire
1.0
All two stars are for a decent last chapter and epilogue. Otherwise, I'd have given it one star for a re-hash of "Beautiful Disaster" and costing me almost EIGHT extra Kindle cliterature dollars for the same story all over again. This just seemed like a huge money grab to me.
This book was just meh. Good in parts, excellent in a couple of spots, and downright boring and repetitive everywhere else. The writing is decent but the story seemed familiar... oh yes, I remember. I've already read this. It was called "Beautiful Disaster."
There was one new insight in WD. Abby is an incredible bitch in this book. She was a low level bitch in the first book but it wasn't as obvious to me. In this one, she takes resting bitch face to the next level. Then, at the end, Abby chalks her behavior up to her super awesome "poker face." Um, what? That's one mean-ass pokerface, Abs, leading a guy around by his dick like that when you really wanted him all along. Whore.
I am an avid reader. A character's actions give me a pretty solid idea of what they are thinking, no matter the POV. It's like... Jamie, seriously, did you really think you had to spell it all out for me? ? For realsises? Do you think all of your readers are that dumb? Wait... don't answer that.
If McGuire had just slapped that epilogue on the end of "Beautiful Disaster," I could have the 15 minutes spent writing this review back and my life would be much improved. Maybe.
The whole situation just left me frustrated. Kinda like Travis through this entire book save the last 2 chapters. Poor guy. Poor me. Poor you if you read it. Save your money.
