Publisher's Summary

How much is too much to love?

Travis Maddox learned two things from his mother before she died: Love hard. Fight harder.

In Walking Disaster, the life of Travis is full of fast women, underground gambling, and violence. Just when he thought he was invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.

Every story has two sides. In Jamie McGuire's New York Times best seller Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it's time to see the story through Travis's eyes.

I had to return this it was so bad

I had to return this it was so bad. The writing comes across as juvenile it is filled with so many stereotypes. Travis, the main character, hates women and looks down on them for having sex on a first date when he does the exact same. But Abby is portrayed as being worthy of love since she acts like she hates him. Oh and she looks hot without makeup, not like all those other stupid women who have to wear makeup. The performer had a good voice for male characters but his reading of female characters just sounds like the voice teenage boys use when making fun of women. I don't know who this book is for because a character has to be somewhat likeable and capable of growth for readers to root for them. Women don't read a female character as being better by putting down all other women in the process. And I can't see how a man would read this and not be offended by this simplistic interpretation of the male mind. This male lead is so awful I don't know how the book could end in a way that makes him seem worthy of anyone.

Loved it even more than Beautiful Disaster!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!

I had just finished listening to Beautiful Disaster and really enjoyed it. Then I discovered Walking Disaster was the same story but from Travis’ point of view. I honestly wasn’t sure if I would enjoy listening to the same story over again but decided to check it out anyway because it had excellent reviews. I am so happy that I did! This book is even better than the first!!

Without spoiling anything I want to explain why I loved it so much more. In Beautiful Disaster I often felt frustrated because I understood Travis, and while Abby often misunderstood his actions and words, I did not. So many times I wanted to scream at her to understand! But in Walking Disaster we get to see Travis’ side of things and it’s both satisfying and heartbreaking at the same time. It was everything I wanted an more. So much so that I listened to it twice and then bought the paperback to read.

A couple things to note... even though I liked this book better than the first, don’t listen to this one before you’ve listened to (or read) Beautiful Disaster. BD has a lot of details that you need first in order to read WD. WD skips over some scenes and only mentions them briefly, sometimes it jumps directly into the aftermath of certain moments and they won’t make sense without the backstory.

Also, if you are like I was in the beginning and think this book is an exact replica of the first, it’s not. It is absolutely worth the read! First of all you get the other side of the story, but also you get a lot of new scenes that took place when Abby wasn’t around. Also the end of this book extends past the end of Beautiful Disaster so you get more Travis and Abby goodness!
