My Life With the Walter Boys by Ali Novak

My Life With the Walter Boys - 358 pages

After her family is killed in a car accident, Jackie moves from New York City to rural Colorado to live with her mother's best friend and family.  It's complete culture shock made worse by the fact that there are 12 children in the Walter family -- all boys.

This is basically a love triangle story.  While there is a lot of grief over the loss of her family, most of Jackie's time is consumed with how to deal with the two brothers that want to date her.  This was a novel written by a 15-year-old on Wattpad that eventually was published.

My Life With the Walter Boys


My Life With the Walter Boys
 by Ali Novak
 354 pages

           Sixteen year old Jackie's life is turned completely upside after her family dies in a car crash. Her guardian sends her from New York to Colorado to live with her mother's childhood friend and her twelve children, who just so happen to be all boys except one who is just as tough as her brothers. What is a girly girl to do in a house full of wild boys?

I enjoyed this book. The damsel wasn't the only one in distress and there were a few dorks in shining tinfoil too. The only thing I wish for more of was some of the boys needed a bit more character development and maybe a short story sequel for over the summer vacation where it leaves us. Let us see a country boy enjoy the big city to offset the big city girl moving to the middle of nowhere.
