Goodreads Summary:
Finally, the highly anticipated follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Beautiful Disaster.
Can you love someone too much?
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. But just when he thinks he is invincible, Abby Abernathy brings him to his knees.
Every story has two sides. In Beautiful Disaster, Abby had her say. Now it’s time to see the story through Travis’s eyes.
My Rating: 4.2
This book is a re-telling of
from Travis's perspective. I was not aware of that going in and expected more story so at first I was a little disappointed. Fortunately I love Trav and this book turned out to be fantastic.I felt like we got more of the story instead of the exact same story Abbie told which is great because it's more realistic. There is always stuff going on behind the scenes that we don't quite know about. Whether it be because Abbie was drunk and forgot about it or the times when she just wasn't around. We got a deeper look into Travis's pain & misery and more of an explanation about why he did the things he did.
I thought Travis was a little over the top from Abbie's perspective; Too violent & controlling. But from his own perspective I could see it was how he's always dealt with his emotions. A long comes this girl that tilts his world on a different axis. His passion and unconditional love was overflowing from his pores and sometimes he didn't know better than to react in his old ways.
I was really, really grateful for that epilogue. I'm so content with that look 11 years into the future. I finished this book feeling satisfied and thankful for the closure. Now I just need to read about that wedding to get my final "ahh" moments.
