About this listen
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?

Definitely YA
I thought, seeing that it's been turned into a tv series, that this was going to be awesome. It was not. It really read like a high schooler wrote it. A junior high schooler.
The idea sounds good but the execution was poor. It read like someone's diary entries with lots of little events happening but no description. There was no atmosphere or feeling like I was there. The characters were two dimensional and not appealing at all. The parents parenting was questionable (not discussing that fact that they were drunk and under age drinking, leaving a 16 year old girl - who's new to the family- alone with two teenage boys, using the new girl to ice 200 cupcakes and the morning of the wedding). Also, who leaves a 16yr old (who you barely know) to finish off details of the wedding like seating plans, and the florist? Yeah right.
I guess this is aimed at teenagers who don't think about the overall picture, just which cute boy she's going to pick. I couldn't wait to finish it.

Written in 2014 but feels like it’s from the 80s
This got three stars because I listened to the whole thing. I don’t know why - maybe because I was out of credits and lazy.
This book is painful listening. The narration isn’t great, the plot is dated and predictable, and it’s filled with dated references that made me think this book was written in the 80s.

I was astounded by how in-depth Jackie's life was .
And the narrator fully impersonated every character

Cole
Though there were some questionable eyebrow raidsing parts in the book, I thought it was generally sweet and so where’s book two? I’m so in love with Cole and Jackie!

A more cohesive story than the Netflix version
I had already watched the whole Netflix series, so it’s always interesting to see the similarities and differences. The original story is more rounded, cohesive and whole. I enjoyed both immensely.

Wanted to compare
I have watched the series on Netflix that was based on this book and enjoyed both slight changes from the book not which I liked more. The book seemed more real to me anyway. Enjoy
