Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire
It's a love-hate relationship kind of book. College students thinking they're not good for each other but can't seem to get rid of them anyway. The story is something that may actually happen in real life. And that makes it a good read. It's that good, I finished it in less than a day!
Abby Abernathy started her college year with her best friend escaping the shadows of her past. But her new beginning will come across with the university's charmer, walking one-night stand, Travis Maddox. Exactly the kind of person she must avoid. Until one bet changes everything.
Favorite lines:
"The more he smiled, the more I wanted to hate him, and yet it was the very thing that made hating him impossible"
"I don't want to sleep with you, Pidge. I like you too much"
"You like Pigeon, it's a dove, an attractive girl, a winning card in Poker, take your pick. You're my Pigeon"
"I know we're fucked up, all right? I'm impulsive and hot-tempered, and you get under my skin like no one else. You act like you hate me one minute, and then you need me the next. I never get anything right, and I don't deserve you... But I fucking love you, Abby. I love you more than I've loved anyone or anything, ever. When you're around, I don't need booze or money, or the fighting or the one-night stands... All I need is you. You're all I think about. You're all I dream about. You're all I want"
"For reasons unknown to me, I was his exception, and as much as I had tried to fight my feelings, he was mine"
"I belong to my beloved, and my beloved is mine"
" You know why I want you? I didn't know I was lost until you found me. I didn't know what was alone until the first night I spent without you in my bed. You're the one thing I've got right. You're what I've been waiting for, Pigeon"
"When I think about my future, I see you"
Quick Question:
Do you think it's possible? That when you see that person, you just know he/she is the one? Look at Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, and of course, Travis Maddox and Abby Abernathy.

UPDATE: I recently found out that Beautiful Disaster will be making its way to the cinemas!!! No actors has been cast yet, and no release date has been announced! Who do you want to play Travis Maddox? ;)
