Beautiful Disaster  (English, Paperback, McGuire Jamie)

Beautiful Disaster is a work of fiction by bestselling author Jamie McGuire that comes under the young adult romance category. It revolves around the story of an underground fighter and a girl who has just joined college.

Summary Of The Book

Beautiful Disaster follows the life of Abby Abernathy and Travis Maddox, both students of Eastern University. Abby is a stereotypical “good girl”, one who has moved on from her dark past. She has joined college with her best friend and immediately encounters Travis Maddox, the kind of person she would have believed she had to consciously avoid.

Soon enough, Travis tricks her with a bet so that she spends more time with him. Losing is not an option for either of them, for, the stakes though simple, are high in both their eyes. Travis losing would mean he has to be abstinent for a month, something the “walking one night stand” would surely find tough and if Abby loses, she has to live in his apartment for a month.

The story carries on from this point as we see how this bet turns the lives of Abby and Travis around as Travis has underestimated Abby’s willpower. Beautiful Disaster is the first of two books in the series, the other being Walking Disaster.

This book primarily covers the relationship dynamics between Travis and Abby, and dwells upon his faults and strengths as readers glimpse his abusive and irrational side, as well as him being a loyal and dedicated young man who learnt to fight for his life from his mother. The book has been well received by the intended audience and Warner Bros. has bought the rights to make it a movie.
