GIRLS LOVE TRAVIS WALKER
By: Anne Pfeffer
Book Description:
To nineteen-year-old
high school dropout Travis Walker, women are like snowflakes–each one different,
but beautiful in her own way.
He can charm any
girl he meets, and yet down deep he fears he’ll always be a loser like his
jailbird father. As the landlady threatens to evict him and his sick mother,
Travis takes a job he hates and spends his evenings picking up girls at a
nearby night spot.
When he enlists in a
teen program at the local fire station, he finds out he’s amazing at it. Then
he meets the smoking hot Kat Summers, enlists Kat’s friend Zoey to help him woo
her, and falls in love for the first time ever.
But he keeps the
details of his life secret. His girl will never love him back if she knows the
truth about him….

Reviews:
“ ….the title of
this book had me expecting something very like a teen romance. While there is
romance aplenty in this wonderful novel, Girls Love Travis Walker is far more
than that….
“Little did I know
that what I was about to read would have such a huge impact on me…. This book
hit me right in the heart.”
“I really loved
Travis…. I cried and was scared with him.”
“This book will make
you fall in love for so many reasons…”
My Review:
When I signed up to
read this book, I had a lot of misconceptions about what the book was about.
With a title like that, I seriously thought I was about to read a steamy New
Adult Romance. While I was pretty off base, I was not disappointed.
(FYI I don’t rehash
storylines)
Now, there is of
course romance in this novel. There is a little bit of steam present within the
pages. But do you know what left the biggest impact on me? The REST of the
book. From the struggles that Travis and his family deal with on a daily basis,
to his personal demons and insecurities that haunt his every waking moment.
Travis is a flawed character but he’s so much more than what he lets the world
see.
The topics that are
dealt with in this novel are sometimes hard to deal with, especially if you are
able to relate to it on a deeper level. I have to say, finding out that one of
the characters wants to be a Social Worker warmed my heart. That is a
profession that is near and dear to me, so that struck a chord.
Now, moving on from
praise to flat out honesty. There were quite a few times that I felt the story
dragged, like the natural progression of the story line just wasn’t coming
through. Some of the steamier scenes fell a little flat as well. Now,
considering the age range of the characters, it is my personal opinion that
this author could have added a little bit more in that department. I can
understand why she didn’t, so that is completely my opinion.
Those two small
things that I just spoke about? Did not hinder me from enjoying this book. I’d really like to know what happens next for
Travis and....LOL I can’t tell you! Whoops! Anyway, fun read with an emotional
undercurrent! Make sure you grab yours today!
