Beautiful Disaster – Jamie Mc Guire
Simon & Schuster Inc.
416 pages
The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
Such a perfect book! Everything that I wanted is here, cuteness, beauty, violence, love, friendship... And also, Abby and Travis are just amazingly cute!
I began this book with a little doubt because it begins with a fight! It's not certainly the way I think a love story can begin?! But the sequel is good, awesome, amazing... we discover little by little the Travis' personality. He is a real jackass, but when the subject is Abby, everything will change. Of course, we also discover a girl who is not sure of her, she has a secret, but she is good, I liked her! Maybe she is little reserved, but this is Abby, we couldn't blame her for that.
This story is created step by step! Indeed, we have many step in their relationship... it's so cool to see the difference! They will change to love, for each other... I also said, but it's so sweet that I must repeat it. I loved the way the author advance the love between each other.
I want to say the only problem in this book. It's a big problem, its one chapter that I hated because it's not what I expected...I mean that, was too weird for me. It is the only thing that I hated in this book. I loved the rest of the book.
I said cute and sweet and it really is! There were plenty of sentences that I loved that I quote, it's so sweet. It reflects naturally the love's strength between our characters. They love is so intense that I lost me in their relationship that is apart from intense, so complicate, so wonderful... so complete !
Yeah! They love is complicate, and that is the basis of the plot. I don't want to spoil the story, but Abby's expectation of love and Travis' is not the same, not at all. They are so different, so unbind, but also so accomplice, so loving, so right... But is this reason or the love will win? I don't say the answer; you could read for that!
The end is S.M.A.R.T. I also love this final, it is so... [I don't have any good adjectives to describe this final]. It could be easy, but it is the final that this book deserves. You know, I want to spoil you, and say my every feeling about this book, but it would be bad for you, so I'll try to retain.
I can't finish this review without bringing some quote (without spoiler, of course) as :
“The more he smiled, the more I wanted to hate him.”
My final advice can be : read this book, it deserves it !!! If you read and doesn't like, you can come to me and complain, but please, read it !
Love. Love. Love.
The meaning of freaking out love.
