A review by kerithesmutslut
Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
5.0
Edited August 9th 2018** I just listened to the audiobook version. Really enjoyed listening to it this time.
Edited July 2nd** I turned this from a 4 🌟 review to a 5 🌟 for the simple reason that after over a week (and 5 other books) I still can't get Travis out of my head. I've replayed some of my favorite scenes of this book over and over again in my head. Travis earned a 5 🌟 review in my opinion.
the first 30% of this book I had this ridiculous smile on my face. Like absolute ridiculous smiling ear to ear. From 30%-60% the smile started to fade, and frustration started to set in. I loved Travis (he was ridiculously fu**ed up, but I loved him). I started out loving Pidge as well, but by the 50% mark I couldn't stand her. At 60% I was so freaking mad at Pidge I just about through my kindle. After that the book was alright.
***edited to add that another one of pet peeves with this book is the absolute crazy amount of times the word Giggle was over used in this story made me want to scream!
I respected the heck out of Pidge at first, she was a stand up girl and I really enjoyed her character, but like I said by the 60% mark I was so frustrated with her character I almost put the book down. I love my fair share of angst, but this was straight up bipolar. The ending was pretty good, but instead of walking away with a smile and a wonderful HEA feeling I typically get with my romance books I finished the book with a feeling of when is Pidge going to go bipolar on Travis and leave him again (my guess would be 2 weeks max going by her previous behavior)
The ending lacked something for me. I wanted to give this book a 5* review so bad, but I just can't. The book is cute, and I will definitely reread this story again, but I just am super disappointed in the main character.
