the first time i read this book, it was on wattpad. i really enjoyed it but when i reread it, it wasn't as good. it was a little cringey and very much cliche, but its a quick read.

From a fresh new voice on the contemporary YA scene, My Life with the Walter Boys centers on the prim, proper, and always perfect Jackie Howard. When her world is turned upside down by tragedy, Jackie must learn to cut loose and be part of a family again.
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?

my fav book 😉
i absolutely love this book, it is probably the best book i have ever read
this book was amazing. It has to be one of my favorite books and I read a lot of books. It was so funny at times you were laughing so hard your stomach hurt and sad at parts where you were crying. I love the author "Ali" she is an amazing writer with tons of great books on wattpad that I loved.
I have to say that this book was one of the few books that I have gotten emotional over. It made me cry, laugh, throw a fit when I didn't like something, and I was unable to put it down until I finished. This book was SO amazing and I'd be really surprised if it doesn't become one of the top ten.
I loved this book from the first word!! I have actually met the author before and she is the most amazing person ever! Ali first wrote this book on Wattpad and that is something I use daily, so it inspires me that she was able to get it published!! It's a wonderful story and her new book The Heartbreakers is equally amazing.
Loved it! u r a great writer
