My Life with the Walter Boys

When a tragic accident shatters Jackie Howard's meticulously planned life, she is uprooted from her posh New York City existence and sent to live with the Walters—a dynamic family that is the antithesis of her own. Faced with the overwhelming presence of twelve boys under one roof (well, technically eleven, but their tomboyish sister Parker might as well count as one), Jackie quickly realises that life on the Walters' horse ranch is nothing like the orderly, controlled world she once knew.

Jackie's drive for perfection—perfect grades, the perfect look, and acceptance into the perfect university—has always been about gaining the elusive attention and approval of her too-busy parents. When her parents die, her grief is compounded by her need to honour their memory through her unyielding pursuit of excellence. However, living with the loud, messy, and at times utterly infuriating Walter boys forces Jackie to reassess her definition of perfection.

The Walter boys are as diverse as they are numerous, each with their quirks, habits, and ways of testing Jackie's patience and heart. Despite their rough edges and penchant for chaos, the Walter boys also possess a charm that is hard for Jackie to resist. Among the older boys are those who could rival Greek gods in their looks, adding further complication to Jackie's already tumultuous life. The boys' teasing and scepticism about a "city girl" fitting into a ranch lifestyle challenges Jackie in unexpected ways.

As Jackie spends more time with the Walters, she begins to question whether her strict adherence to her old ideals is really what she needs to find happiness. Could it be that the very imperfections she’s always tried to avoid are the key to discovering love and joy?
