My Life With The Walter Boys

By: Ali Novak

Narrated by: Renée Chambliss

Soon to be adapted for TV by Netflix!

Jackie does not like surprises. Chaos is the enemy! The best way to get her successful, busy parents to notice her is to be perfect. The perfect look, the perfect grades—the perfect daughter. And then . . .

Surprise #1: Jackie's family dies in a freak car accident.

Surprise #2: Jackie has to move cross-country to live with the Walters—her new guardians.

Surprise #3: The Walters have twelve sons. (Well, eleven, but Parker acts like a boy anyway.)

Now Jackie must trade in her Type A personality and New York City apartment for a Colorado ranch and all the wild Walter boys who come with it. Jackie is surrounded by the enemy—loud, dirty, annoying boys who have no concept of personal space. Okay, several of the oldest guys are flat-out gorgeous. But still annoying. She's not stuck-up or boring—no matter what they say—but proving it is another matter. How can she fit in and move on when she needs to keep her parents' memory alive by living up to the promise of perfect?

I loved this book!

Top Favorite Books

I live this book so much. It’s my comfort book. I’ve read it before but I’ve enjoyed just listening to it as I do my day to day activities aswell!

Not sure why I listened to the entire book

It was a difficult book to get through, and I almost quit many times. It was supposed to be young adult-ish. The characters were very shallow and immature. However, the drinking, the language, and the gender stereotypes and sexual harassment definitely should not be portrayed to any young adults that I know.
On top of that the narrator was awful.

Really meant for teens

I felt that the storyline was not very strong. It dragged on, and I finished it only out of curiosity. Perhaps a teenager would enjoy it more than I did. I noted that the author barely developed the character of George the father in the Colorado family.
