5 stars!! I think I am even more in love with Travis Maddox now! 
 is one of my all-time favorite books. I've read it numerous times and so, when Jamie McGuire announced that she would be writing BD from Travis's POV, I was ecstatic, but also nervous. How would Jamie pull off this beloved book from Travis's POV? How would she get deep enough inside his head, when reading the book from Abby's POV was all we knew? Honestly, for the first 15% of Walking Disaster, I couldn't get into it. I was having a hard time seeing everything I knew and remembered from someone else's head. But, let me tell you,, that feeling did not last long. I was soon falling farther in love with Travis, and understanding him so much better, from such a different perspective. 
 Walking Disaster begins with a prologue, a glimpse into Travis's childhood, a very specific space in time, when all of the Maddox boys lost their mother. It was hard to read, but necessary to give the reader insight into where Travis is coming from as an adult. He is broken, but he is trying to find himself, to put himself back together: 
 "Loss was something I'd only experienced once before in my life, but this felt more real. Losing Abby wasn't a story I remembered from early childhood-it was in my face, debilitating me like a sickness robbing me of my senses and physically, excruciatingly painful. My mother's words echoed in my ear. Abby was the girl I had to fight for, and I went down fighting. None of it was ever going to be enough." -Travis 
 My heart broke for Travis over and over again. And, while I knew that Abby was feeling similar pain, having read Beautiful Disaster, it didn't lessen my feelings for Travis at all. 
 Walking Disaster followed Beautiful Disaster pretty closely, however, since this was from Travis's POV, we got to see glimpses into Travis's life with Shepley and with his dad and brothers that we simply couldn't see from BD. I liked that Jamie prolonged the ending of WD, more than BD, to see just what happened after America found out about the wedding, and what kind of reception Abby and Travis received upon returning to school after their Spring Break. And, then there was an epilogue. 
 It is no secret that I love epilogues! I live for epilogues at the end of a series. This epilogue was different. Without spoiling anything,, I'm not exactly sure how I felt about it,, it was different. I'm sure with more thought and discussion with others about the epilogue, what it means, and where it could lead, my thoughts may change, but for now, all I can say is that it is different, and worth reading as well. 
 There were a couple of little quirks that got to me at first. I noticed once or twice that the text was not changed from Abby's POV, but this was tiny, and honestly not important enough to take away any stars from my review, or from my enjoyment. There was also the glossing over of incidents that happened that we saw from Abby's perspective in BD, but again, it didn't affect my enjoyment of the book. I do have to say, however, that it may be difficult for someone who did not read BD to understand some of what was glossed over. 
 So, what did I love about this book? Once again Jamie's writing is beautiful and flawless. And contrary to some other reviews I have read, I feel we got a window into Travis's soul and I understood much more of where he was coming from, and with all of these flaws, I loved him even more. Travis's nickname for Abby, Pigeon, is explained, and I really loved it, especially since he could relate to his dad in a way that he probably could not before, since Jim Maddox understood what a pigeon is: 
 "I decided a long time ago I would feed on the vultures until a dove came along. A pigeon. The kind of soul that didn't impede on anyone; just walked around worrying about its own business, trying to get through life without pulling everyone else down with its own needs and selfish habits. Brave. A communicator. Intelligent. Beautiful. Soft-spoken. A creature that mates for life. Unattainable until she has a reason to trust you." -Travis 
 "I looked at my father. 'She's a pigeon. Definitely a pigeon.' 
 'Oh?' Dad said, his eyes brightening a bit. 
 'The same girl?' 
 'Yeah, but I was kind of a dick to her earlier. She kind of makes me feel crazy-er.'" 
 Yup,, that's it, that's Abby and that's why Abby and Travis work. Reading these two books have been quite a ride, and I feel fortunate to have read both BD and WD and thank Jamie for giving her fans this additional time with Abby and Travis.
