This one was such an emotional ride that I didn’t even know when I started sinking deeper into the story. It begins with Jackie, this teenage girl who had her whole world planned out perfectly—she was brilliant, focused, New York type of girl. Then, in one night, her entire life crashed. She loses her family in a tragic accident and is forced to move in with the Walter family, who are the complete opposite of everything she’s used to—loud, chaotic, and filled with boys, boys, boys everywhere.
Imagine this girl who’s used to peace and order suddenly thrown into a house where privacy doesn’t even exist. The Walter family is like a storm of energy—everyone’s shouting, playing, fighting, joking, and she’s just trying to breathe. But that’s where it gets interesting, because it’s inside that chaos that Jackie starts finding herself again. And then comes the heart of the story—the love triangle. Jackie finds herself torn between Alex, the sweet, gentle, responsible Walter boy who is safe and makes her feel seen, and Cole, the broody, charming, unpredictable one who has this magnetic pull. Every scene between Jackie and Cole feels like trouble you can’t help but be drawn to, while Alex is the type that makes you wish Jackie would just choose peace. But life doesn’t work that way, and the tension just keeps building.
For me, a standout moment was when Jackie finally began to let the shield between her and the world fall with the Walter boys. You could put her together again like a jigsaw and it wasn't easy. There were times she wanted to close off the world, times she argued with the Walters, times she wondered why she was there at all. But gradually she starts to see that maybe family isn't just about blood-it's about who is there for you when you have to lean on someone. That part moved me in a deep way, for it reminded me of how sometimes the people that heal you are the ones you least expect.
And the drama-ooh, the twists never ceased. Secrets, heartbreak, misunderstandings-it was like watching Jackie juggle between two lives: the one she lost and the messy complicated one she was constructing. You know that story that makes you angry because you want to shake the character and tell her what to do, but then again you understand why she doesn't know what to do? That’s exactly how it felt.
By the end I was so attached to Jackie and the Walters that it almost felt as if I was living in that house with them. I found myself wondering what I would have done in her situation, and I was curious about her choices. It got me emotional as well as thankful for the people in my own life, losing everything and then being caught between love, grief and a second chance at family-is even more real than the book.
