I have an upcoming interview scheduled with the author of Beautiful Disaster (Jamie McGuire), but thought I’d compile a bunch of cool facts I’ve found regarding this book. Jamie speaks candidly on her Facebook pages, and has divulged some very interesting stuff!

So to hold us over until the interview, here’s a little treat for all of you Travis and Abby fanatics. A deeper look into this fantastic book that kept us up all night 😉
