My Life with the Walter Boys #2
My Return to the Walter Boys
The highly anticipated sequel to My Life with the Walter Boys, the internationally bestselling novel that inspired the Netflix series!
Jackie Howard returns to the Walter ranch after a summer in New York. She needed space—and got it. But she doesn't know where things stand with her and Cole Walter after that goodbye kiss. Over the summer, she stopped texting him. She never stopped thinking about him.
Still, with Cole living off in town to work at Tony's garage before he heads off to college, Jackie thinks it'll be easy to avoid him—only to find that when she sees him face to face at last, it's, well... impossible to resist him. Things are getting complicated: he's the boy she can't get off her mind, and the Walters have become the family she loves and needs. How can Jackie move forward when she's afraid of taking the next step?

I hate to say it, but this was disappointing.
This review is not going to give major spoilers, but it will be spoiler adjacent because it's the only way I could explain my feelings. Please keep that in mind and skip this if you need.
Initially, I was super invested! Jackie was on her way back to Colorado and the Walters. Everything was right in the world
Nope. Immediately, Jackie wanted space from Cole for her mental health. Did this man take that well? No. He started being actually horrible to her. Because she said she needed space to grieve... seems fair 😒
Like, fine, we love creating drama for the plot, but this was just not it.
Oh, and Alex is hot now? But also such a background character that it really doesn't matter. That was odd. Why bother mentioning it?
Someone tell me why didn't Danny come back or feature in more than just one phone call? And that phone call was somehow purely a plot device, but we never get to see if that's accurate? It's just an assumption Jackie makes lol
Oh and when Cole changes his behaviour, he goes back to flirting non-stop with Jackie DESPITE her being very clear about her boundaries. To the point where he pushes her back into being his girlfriend but without ever asking her. At which time he decides to treat her like trash again!!!
He then has the audacity to seem shocked when she yet again states her boundaries and tries to get space
And then the whole ending... please tell me why they have one conversation, and then it just... ends. I was shocked and not in a good way.
I don't know if that was the plot? Or if there just wasn't one.
This book is just one huge mess, if I'm honest.
The only character that didn't make me want to throw things was Isaac! He had depth. He felt real! And if I'm honest, he weirdly had more chemistry with Jackie than he should've 😂 He was flirty af! And he knew when to apologise sincerely, unlike someone *cough* Cole *cough*
Tbh every star I give this book is because of Isaac.
Despite loving the first book and the TV show, I can't really recommend this. Maybe the author should've left this series in 2014?

PS. Can someone teach Jackie to knock? 💀
PPS. Why is there a whole Harry Potter trivia night in this book? Gross.

Just as good as the first one. Oh my gosh.
This is an exceptional duology that everyone needs to read! I could not put down either of the books!!
My life with the Walter Boys is my favorite read of the year so far! Thank you, Ali Novak! You know what you're doing!
I loved the dirt racing element in this book!! Considering my dad is a dirt race car driver, and I spend so much of my time at race tracks, I loved reading about it! I've never read a book where they went to a race track!!
Thank you, NetGalley.com, for the arc!! Make sure you guys check this book out when it releases on April 15th!!
Thanks for reading💗

As a fan of the first book, the cliffhanger killed me. Sadly this book didn’t deliver a satisfying ending. There wasn’t any resolution between Cole and Jackie like I would have expected from a sequel. This book has no plot. It was basically a back and fourth Cole and Jackie book. There were loose ends that didn’t make any sense. Why? 😭 to me, it felt like she forgot who the Walter’s are, who Cole is, and what the book is about. I guess 10 years between books will do that. 😞. The magic and unity of the Walter family wasn’t there. It felt like the Walter’s were falling apart. I love them so much so it saddened me to see them in chaos. Their personalities were not the same. They were very off. What happened to Issac!? Issac basically made a point to make dirty sex jokes in every conversation. Sometimes multiple. Cole did a complete 180. He’s no longer the bad boy we all love. The “Cole effect” seems to be something the author forgot how to write. I’m very disappointed that this book didn’t live up to my expectations. I only read this because I’m such a fan of the first book.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

I so badly wanted to love this book. Really enjoyed the first one and the Netflix adaptation of it as well. But this book just had so many things that didn’t make sense? Like I hate to say it that it just felt poorly written and was all over the place. It was almost like the first book was ignored and the second was written based of things that happened in the show and not the book. ☹️

All my love, Cole»
Imagine getting a continuation of a story 12 years later... Well, here you don’t have to—it just happened!
Let's start with the fact that I absolutely adore the TV show, and I read the original novel only days before the Netflix premiere. So when I saw My Return to the Walter Boys on NetGalley? I almost choked on nothing.
This book picks up right where the first one ends, then jumps ahead to the end summer—and honestly, it felt so nice knowing Ali Novak got the chance to revisit the Walter House and give us more.
To be completely honest, to me Cole and Jackie's relationship in this book was too emotional-swings-like? The letter tho? PLEASE!
He smirked at this. "You think
I'm pretty?"
I rolled my eyes. "You think you're pretty."
"I think you're pretty."
You know who did not disappoint? ISAAC! If you know, you know, but let’s just say… here? He’s spicyyy!
A huge Thank You to NetGalley, SOURCEBOOKS Fire and Ali Novak for the ARC! It was so nice to step back into this world.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .75 That was a SOILD 4.75. This is what I waited for, and needed in my veins. I’ve been waiting for YEARS and she did NOT DISAPPOINT.
When I say Ali is the QUEEN of allusions, I mean she is THE QUEEN. We got a whole lot of name drops, and modern living vibes. Taco Bell, Freaking Powerless (this was probably not intentional, but you can’t have the words “look what I did to your pretty face” and not have me scream in delight), Shakespeare, Harry Potter, and just that classic tsitp vibe. But at the same time this is a LOT different than tsitp. To me, it’s a lot better. Tsitp walked so Mlwtwb could run in my opinion. We are giving attention to the wrong show, YALL. And don’t take it wrong, i was obsessed with tsitp, so no hate at all. I loved it. Mlwtwb did what tsitp couldn’t in two books.
The character design and development, though, that was SO FREAKING AMAZING. Each character had their one original story and it wasn’t all just romance, the fmc really connected and helped these characters. I guess that’s why they called it My Life with the Walter Boys, because it’s genuinely her life with them. We get a side story of each Walter (or at least almost all of them…there ARE 12), and I saw that it was so cool and fun to learn about. They all found what was lost from each other, and it was from the main character, which I’m really happy about because the fmcs who do/change NOTHING make me mad. Yes, I’m all about the romance, the banter, the mmc, but a story with things other than romance, that’s a golden book. It can literally be the slightest hint or something that isn’t soully focused on the main characters, and it would get an extra star or at least half.
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HOW THEY MAKE THIS INTO THE TV SHOW…IM GOING TO LOVE THIS SEASON. TEAM COLE ALWAYS🫖. Thanks for reading my rant! I’m going to go and rant to my teacher, who, unlikely for her, told me she has watched mlwtwb…

Estuvo igual de PÉSIMO que el primero. Pero no puedo esperar a la segunda temporada de la serie para odiar a Jackie aún más, es que es una mujer INSOPORTABLE.
June 2, 2025
i really liked this!! i think it was a really good follow up to the first book, and even though jackie and cole kept going back and forth it never seemed too dramatic and i wasn't getting bored or fed up with it. i think the walter family and all of the other side characters really kept me invested, and i loved getting to see jackie become a bigger part of their family!
im so glad she finally felt at home in colorado and found a place that brought her joy, but i do truly think it was the people that made the place for her. i loved getting to see her interactions change with the walters from the first book to this one and see them accept her as one of their own!
im also definetly going to keep watching the show now that i have read both books, and before the next season comes out!
