Ich muss leider gestehen ich habe tatsächlich Staffel 2 vor dem Lesen des Buches gesehen und darüber bin ich tatsächlich sehr froh. Nach der 2. Staffel der Netflix Adaption von „My Life with the Walter Boys“ war ich sehr enttäuscht, aber hätte ich das Buch schon davor gelesen, hätte ich wahrscheinlich meinen Vater gezwungen sein Netflix Abonnement zu kündigen. Das Buch war wirklich ein Erlebnis!! Cole Walter ist einfach ein wundervoller Book Boyfriend!! Es gab (wie in jedem Romanzbuch) einen Third Act Breakup, aber nicht aus einem (mittlerweile overrated-en (ich liebs trotzdem hihi) Miscommunication Trop, sonder die Sorgen und Ängste von Jackie werden wirklich sehr gut von Ali Novak abgezeichnet. Genauso wie der Umgang von Cole mit dem Verlust seines Traums/Lebensziel. Alles in allem fand ich das Buch wirklich gut und kann es nur weiterempfehlen. Vorallem wenn man Staffel 2 auch so enttäuschend fand!

Still undecided... It was a nice and quick read without any big suprises. I liked to be back in the Walter household. The story remains rather superficial. Also, the book and the Netflix series do not have much in common! I must say that in this case I prefer the series over the novel as it has more tension/conflict included 🤷

I didn’t like this book as much as I liked the first. I was a bit disappointed with the ending, but not so much the book as a whole! The book itself felt wholesome, funny, beautiful and intriguing with the story lines! I just felt that the ending was rushed in the sense that because of all the other side stories with the other characters (Isaac, Nathan), that it felt we didn’t get a whole of Cole and Jackie. And most of what we did was them finding their back to each other with everything they’ve both been through. Don’t get me wrong, this is totally fine and in fact realistic which was great, but because of this, it made the ending feel rushed because all of a sudden, they made their way back together and we didn’t get as much of their lovey moments. Almost as if we didn’t get a lead up to them fixing things, it just happened. Could just be me, but I felt like it could’ve been a bit longer purely for this! Otherwise, a good read. Can’t wait for season 2 of the Netflix series and to see the direction it goes!
