Beautiful Disaster: Jamie McGuire (BEAUTIFUL SERIES)

Product Information

In Beautiful Disaster, adapted by Kumble, bad-boy Travis (Sprouse) is exactly what college freshman Abby (Gardner) needs and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights fighting in underground boxing matches, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. But Abby wants nothing to do with Travis. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis offers her a simple bet: if he loses his next fight, he must remain sex-free for a month. If he wins, Abby must live in his apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that Abby’s dark past is about to emerge, and he may have finally met his match. Memories of the past began to creep up on her, after all Flynn is her ex-lover and she thought that she would never hear from him after all this time. He has walked out of her life twelve years ago but that does not make Mia stop thinking about him over the years. Mia knew Flynn when she was just a design student at the University of Georgia then. Flynn was the one who took notice of her initially, but he didn't think they belong to the same league anyway since he has a dark secret past while Mia looks like she doesn't belong to anything in his world. But then fate seems to be in their way as they later met each other in a pub, and Mia strike up a conversation with him both out of curiosity as well as a bet which she had with Roxanne, in which she was sure that she would get this mysterious stranger to buy her a beer, which he did. I smiled and walked past them into the dorms, wondering if Travis would make good on his promise not to flirt. He wasn’t hard to figure out; he either saw me as a challenge, or safely unattractive enough to be a good friend. I wasn’t sure which bothered me more. He wants you to bring her to the apartment, doesn’t he?” Shepley said. America nodded, and he shook his head. “You’re a smart girl, Abby. I’m telling you now, if you fall for his shit and then end up getting mad at him, you can’t take it out on me and America, all right?”

I rounded the corner to see America standing with Finch outside our dormitory. The three of us ended up at the same table at freshman orientation, and I knew he would be the welcome third wheel to our well-oiled machine. He wasn’t excessively tall, but still he towered over my five feet four inches. His round eyes offset his long, lean features, and his bleached hair was usually fashioned into a spike at the front.Welcome to Shh...

On the bright side, for every mistake you will find two or three awesome one-liners - and I mean AWESOME. They had me laughing so hard...and thanking my Kindle repeatedly for it's highlighting function.

Shotwell, Alyssa (October 26, 2021). "Racist Author Jamie McGuire Dragged Again Upon News of Romance Book Adaptation". The Mary Sue . Retrieved November 1, 2021. Abby has moved away and started at a new college with her best friend America, not wanting any reminders of her old life and determined to change. She tries to become the woman she thinks is better, which includes dating the 'perfect' guy. So she could never ever be more than friends with Travis "Mad Dog" Maddox, because he maybe be dangerously good looking but he is anything but perfect 😍. I rested my elbows on the table and leaned into them. “And that won’t happen, so we can be friends.” Adam brought the bullhorn to his mouth once again, and the yelling and movement escalated to a feverish pace.

And on a related note, there are just holes in the story and randomness for seemingly no reason. [SPOILER ALERT] Abby's supposed to be a good girl that hung in "tamer circles" but the only friends she ever had in the whole book was America. Where are her other friends? And how did she not know she had a class with the big man on campus? And what exactly was the purpose of the fire? Where did her father go? How convenient is it that everyone in college eats lunch at the same time? And again - Travis is Shep's cousin, who is America's boyfriend. Why has Abby never met him before? Supposedly America's parents more or less raised Abby (even though they'd only been friends since jr year of high school) but she feels like Travis's dad is more her family than the people that let you live with them?
