A New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller about a good girl dangerously drawn to the ultimate bad boy.
The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University’s Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby wants—and needs—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

Summary
Overall Jamie McGuire’s Beautiful Disaster is a beautiful story about a good girl named Abby who does everything right. She dresses modestly, doesn’t drink, and doesn’t even cuss as a result of a really bad past she thinks she’s escaped. Then, she goes to college and finds a best friend named America, through whom she meets the covered in tattoos bad boy Travis whom Abby feels an immediate need to avoid at all cost. Of course, her resistance is just a turnon for him. And a simple bet changes everything
Abby has worked so hard to escape. I was most delighted to discover that no matter how bad Travis is, he meets his match in Abby. Both characters are proof that looks can
be deceiving. Review by Noti.
