My Life with the Walter Boys by Ali Novak is a chaotic, heartwarming YA romance that started as a Wattpad hit when Novak was just 15, racking up over 150 million reads. Jackie Howard, a Type-A New York teen obsessed with perfection—perfect grades, perfect look—has her world shattered when her parents and sister die in a car crash. Uprooted to a Colorado ranch, she’s thrust into the wild Walter household, home to her mom’s best friend Katherine, her husband George, and their twelve kids—eleven rowdy boys and one tomboy daughter, Parker. From ages five to twenty-one, these guys are loud, messy, and allergic to personal space, driving Jackie nuts. Oh, and a few, like smoldering Cole and sweet Alex, are stupidly hot, which doesn’t help. Navigating love triangles, high school drama, and her grief, Jackie’s forced to loosen up and find herself in the mess. Some fans adore the cringe-worthy, soapy fun and Cole’s bad-boy charm, but others call Jackie bland or gripe about plot holes (like that pencil skirt horse-riding scene). Still, it’s a light, addictive read that’s got Netflix fans buzzing, with a sequel, My Return to the Walter Boys, dropping in 2025.

Who Should Read It? This is for YA romance fans who love messy love triangles, found-family vibes, and coming-of-age drama, or readers craving a To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before or The Summer I Turned Pretty fix. If you’re into Wattpad-style, fluffy reads with a side of grief and don’t mind triggers like parental death or mild teen partying, grab this—perfect for teens or adults nostalgic for high school feels. Check for light triggers, and if you loved the Netflix show, the book’s got a slightly different flavor but the same heart.
