Eighteen-year-old Jenny Morton has a horrific secret: her touch spreads a deadly supernatural plague, the "Jenny pox." She lives by a single rule: Never touch anyone. A lifetime of avoiding any physical contact with others has made her isolated and painfully lonely in her small rural town.

Then she meets the one boy she can touch. Jenny feels herself falling for Seth...but if she's going to be with him, Jenny must learn to use the deadly pox inside her to confront his ruthless and manipulative girlfriend Ashleigh, who secretly wields the most dangerous power of all...

Beautiful Disaster- Discussion #5

 

 

FAMILY...

 

The author shows us glimpses of what both Travis and Abby's

life was like growing up.

 

If we compare their upbringings and family life experiences, do you feel that there are more similarities or differences?

 

 

How does the way they were raised affect their approach to relationships? {or lack thereof}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Beautiful Disaster- Discussion #4

Time for MORE Beautiful Disaster Chit Chat!

I found a QUIZ on Goodreads...

Who Said It?

Check it out HERE

Just for FUN... what is YOUR score??

Do you have a favorite QUOTE from the book?

Please share... and tell us WHY!

*****************************************

Here are a few of mine...

“Let me guess, it's the love of your life?" I said quoting Travis' statement about his motorcycle.
"No, it's a car. The love of my life will be a woman with my last name.”

“He was afraid of nothing. Until he'd met me.”

-Abby

“I'm gonna fuck up. I'm gonna fuck up a lot, Pidge, but you have to forgive me.”

-Travis

and of course...

“I know we're fucked up, alright? 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 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 loved anyone or anything ever. When you're around, I don't need booze, or money, or the fighting, or the one-night stands...”

Pidgeon. Beautiful Disaster- Discussion #3

Pidgeon.

The nick name that Travis calls Abby.

From the first time they meet...

Excerpt from the book:

“Abs? What are you, a workout video?" he sneered.
"Pigeon?" I said with the same amount of disdain. "An annoying bird that craps all over the sidewalk?"
You like Pigeon," he said defensively. "It's a dove, an attractive girl, a winning card in poker, take your pick. You're my Pigeon.”

Did you like it? Hate it? Indifferent?

Did you wonder WHY he called her Pidgeon

rather than anything else?

OR...

did you GET where the author was coming from and her reasoning for Pidgeon?

{ I didn't actually put it together until I read an interview where Jamie McGuire explained it.}

Excerpt from Interview with Jamie...

Lily:

"When he calls her Pidge, was that something he got from Lady and the Tramp, and did you realize the little analogy there?"

Jamie:

"Yes! Finally someone caught it! Travis is the school Tramp…he calls Abby, the only woman he considers a “lady”, Pigeon. I am awestruck at the number of people that don’t get it."
