Found via the Netflix series, which I'd happily binge-watched. Alas, a rare example of a screen adaption that was more nuanced and rich than the book. ( ) ¿Qué hace una alumna excelente y de comportamiento intachable viviendo con un rebaño de hermanos apestosos, escandalosos e insoportables? Si Jackie hubiera podido elegir, jamás habría terminado rodeada de doce chicos que ni siquiera entienden el concepto de privacidad, por muy guapos que sean los mayores. Pero el accidente de coche que han sufrido sus padres no le ha dejado elección: los Walter, tutores legales de los doce hermanos, también son ahora los suyos. Los chicos Walter son el desastre personificado. Jackie aspira a la perfección. Es más, se la debe a su familia. Se la prometió. ¿Cómo se las arreglará para encajar en esta nueva vida llena de caos... y de chicos? Una novela romántica al más puro estilo Wattpad que cuenta con millones de lecturas a nivel mundial. This was such a fun book to read and a much needed break from the heavy books I’ve been reading. Jackie looses her entire family in one night in a car accident. Her mom’s best friend, Katherine, steps in and offers for Jackie to come live with her and her family. Katherine leaves out the fact that there’s 12 boys waiting at home to meet Jackie. Walking into her new home, she’s thrown into an unknown world, very different than her NYC life. The book was entertaining and a great read, especially because two of Katherine’s sons are fighting for Jackie’s attention. If you’re looking for a fun story with a few laughs, this book is what you’re looking for. Jackie' parents and sister have been killed in a terrible car accident. Jackie has been living with an uncle but he travels a lot so her mother's best friend Katherine Walter decides to "adopt" her for a year. Jackie goes to live with the enormous Walter family which consists of eleven boys (and one girl?) on a farm in Colorado, Some of them are Katherine's biological children - two sets of twin boys, and some are nephews from her sister's failed life. So, not only must Jackie cope with the loss of her own family, she must try and absorb herself into this other giant family as well as coming to terms with the fact she no longer lives in New York but now is stuck in some tiny country town To make matters even worse, there seems to be two of the boys Alex and Cole who are infatuated with Jackie and she must choose between kind-hearted, friendly Alex and roguish player Cole who gets her drunk the first time they go out together. A fascinating book about being resilient and facing the truth about who you are and your place in families. I liked when the author strayed away from the central romance triangle into the lives of the other Walter boys although I was a bit confused about Parker as she was initially introduced as a boy. The Danny and Nathan characters as well as Lee the cousin all bring something to Jackie's story. I also liked that the boys' perspective was told in an additional chapter at the end of the book. I read this book because a student raved about it and I can see why. Great read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
