Beautiful Disaster- Jamie Mcguire
Beautiful disaster flows so easily and smoothly. The author was able to tell an amazing detailed story without the novel being gunky.
I am beyond excited to read the rest of Jamie McGuire's work.

Whats bugs me is i've read that some people think Travis is abusive and obsessive and not healthy. But Abbey already knows she wants him from early on so isn't forced, never gets physically hurt by HIM and as for obsessive? haven't we all had meltdowns when things are going wrong with the people we love most? I just love this book!

I know that I am going to be unpopular with this comment, but I don’t think I’ll ever understand why YOUNG ADULT books set such a HORRIBLE example of relationships. The more I read this book, the more uncomfortable I felt thinking about any young reader thinking that this is a romantic story. I know some people will argue with me saying that “it’s just fiction” or “you read 50 Shades and didn’t complain about it” but THESE ARE NOT THE SAME THING. I am an adult, reading an adult book when I pick up 50 Shades. I understand that the way Travis and Abby act is NOT HEALTHY AND NOT OKAY. But these YA books are targeting mainly young women, who are reading these fiction stories hoping for a happy-ever-after romance that they dream about. THIS BOOK IS NOT THAT. I would NEVER allow my daughter to read this book as a teenager. Travis is emotionally abusive, jealous, and generally crazy. If a guy literally goes into a rage if he doesn’t know where you are and calls you over and over WHEN YOU ARE NOT EVEN DATING, then you need to get away from him ASAP. I could write pages on how inappropriate and controlling Travis is. Not to mention how Abby acts. Moving in with a guy, literally sleeping in his bed and then going out with another guy the next day? What is happening. This is not cute or romantic or desirable behavior! I don’t care how much Travis seems to change, there is no way that this relationship is what people should be desiring. THEY RUN OFF TO VEGAS AND GET MARRIED. AT NINETEEN YEARS OLD. Nineteen. Now I’m not usually one to say to anyone that they are too young to know if they are in love or too young to know their heart, but again, THIS IS NOT OKAY. It is not healthy to never hang out with other people. It is not healthy to not be allowed non-mutual friends. IT IS NOT OKAY to control a person so completely. I sincerely hope that young women who read this realize this is not how it should be. But more so, I hope that the young men realize that THIS IS NOT HOW THEY SHOULD TREAT WOMEN AND THIS IS NOT HOW WOMEN SHOULD WANT TO BE TREATED. I am so worked up about this book. I could go on for ages. Bottom line, I wish I would have avoided this book.

I love books where a cocky man is brought down to his knees.
Jamie McGuire is an awesome writer. I loved Beautiful Disaster so much, I’ve read every book in the series. Among my favorites were, Beautiful Burn with Elli and Tyler. And Something Beautiful with America and Shipley. Such wonderful love stories.
Recently, I found out about her online extension to Beautiful Disaster, Endlessly Beautiful, which gives you some details of what happens after Travis and Abby got married. I can’t wait to read it!

You find your self thinking "That's so cute". If he tells you he likes you even with a bad reputation you hope he'll prove it. Abby was someone I couldn't relate to. She didn't even give him the opportunity nor did she accept her feelings even begrudgingly would have been fine. She was pretty much the lost puppy in this book, and while that's great for historical erotica it was a flaw in this book. I enjoyed the writing Style this author had but I am not a fan of this story.
