Beautiful Disaster: Jamie McGuire (BEAUTIFUL SERIES)

Product Information

For college student, Mia Montgomery, it's just another day hanging out with friends until she lays eyes on Flynn; a scruffy looking, coarse mouthed, motorcycling drifter with a past full of secrets and a future full of nothing but uncertainty. When they meet later on in a bar, it's as if the two of them just knew they were soul mates. The book is not complex in vocabulary or themes. It doesn't have poignancy or nuance. It is a blatant telling of the story of passive artist, Mia, and how her life is changed over the course of one year when she meets Flynn, a one-named James Dean type, in the summer of her senior year of college. Unlike most of the other books I read, it was fairly simple...but utterly addictive.

I had a fantastic experience working with Voltage and Dylan Sprouse on After We Collided and I’m thrilled to be collaborating with them and Ginny Gardner on bringing another beloved novel to life,” said Kumble. But! Despite the flaws, I couldn't for the life of me stop reading this book. I enjoyed the raw energy that Flynn and Mia shared. I enjoyed how intense some of those scenes got and I liked that Laura Spinella wasn't afraid to push her characters and the readers to the limit. There is an extreme amount of heart in this story and I found myself really caring about what happens to these characters. I've always loved stories about second chances, loving the dramatic and romantic which this book delivered quite nicely.Mia’s husband is away on various business trips while Mia continues to work at Flynn’s bedside. Roxanne continues to warn Mia off, but Mia will not listen.

Can love survive years later after all the pain Flynn has inflicted on Mia by just leaving? Can the friendship between Mia and Roxanne survive? Mia- ever present by Flynn's bed side connects us to the past and the now. Was what they shared all just a dream? Was it ever real? Is is possible that a love so strong and so wrong can survive everything or was it all just some Beautiful Disaster...? Mia goes on to marry and is on the verge of realizing her eco-friendly dream when her best friend, Roxanne, calls her to tell her that her lost love has been in a motorcycle accident that he might not survive and is at the hospital where she works in the trauma unit. Mia rushes to the hospital and keeps vigil over Flynn in the hopes that he will recover.
