Walking Disaster
by Jamie McGuire
I really liked Travis in Beautiful Disaster, so when I learned that Walking Disaster was from his POV I was pretty excited. For the most part, the book lived up to expectations.
Because it had been a while since I'd read BD, I more or less read the two books concurrently this time around so that I could get the same story from both perspectives at the same time. As a result, however, I was faced with my one big disappointment -- a lot of the scenes are written exactly the same, with only the pronouns changed. Word for word thoughts (even using the same adjectives) come from both Abby and Travis' heads. Seems a bit lazy. I'd hoped that Travis' POV would offer a whole new head to get into -- sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't.
That said, the epilogue made my whole year. I loved it! I adore Travis. I'd love more from this world. How about a book about Trent (adore him!) and Cami, or Shep and America (though we got a big dose of them already)? Whatever, the characters are great. Gimme more!
