The book began life on Wattpad, the same online story-sharing hub that produced Beth Reekles' The Kissing Booth, which was also adapted by Netflix.
Fans of swoon-worthy tales like The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Vampire Diaries will likely find plenty to like about My Life With the Walter Boys, which, like those other titles, puts its protagonist at the center of a love triangle involving two brothers.
Here, 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) moves from Manhattan to Silver Falls, Colo., after her wealthy parents and sister die in a car accident. A stranger in a strange land, Jackie moves in with the Walter family, led by George (Marc Blucas) and Katherine (Sarah Rafferty), the latter her mother's best friend from college.
George and Katherine are raising a house of boys (and one girl). Two of the Walter boys capture her eye: bookworm Alex (Ashby Gentry) and ex-jock Cole (Noah LaLonde), who smolders with feathered bangs and a troubled soul.

Is there a My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 trailer?
Netflix dropped the first teaser for My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 in July.
"I spent all summer spiraling about how and why I left," Jackie narrates in the short clip. "I don't belong anywhere anymore."
But Silver Falls beckons, as do Alex and Cole. "Why did you really come back?" Cole asks. (We think he may have something to do with it.)
What is My Life With the Walter Boys season 2 about?
David Brown/Netflix
Ashby Gentry as Alex and Noah LaLonde as Cole on 'My Life With the Walter Boys' season 2"When Katherine convinces her to return to Colorado, Jackie is determined to make amends with Alex and set boundaries with Cole while finding her place within the Walter family," reads the season 2 logline. "But fitting back in isn’t that easy. Alex — who changeda lotover the summer — isn’t too thrilled about Jackie’s attempts to reconnect, as he’s focused on training for a risky rodeo event (and enjoying all of the new attention he’s getting).”

As Jackie gains acceptance in Silver Falls while trying to hold onto her Howard identity, she’s forced to make a choice that could destroy everything she’s worked to rebuild."

But you can also expect to see more from the extended Walter family in season 2. In a November 2024 interview with Teen Vogue, Gentry said a "beautiful part" of season 2 is how it highlights the "flawed" side of the Walter boys. "You get to see all of them go through screw-ups in season 2," he told the outlet. "And it's awesome."
He added, "There was some criticism about our characters being one note or pigeonholed into an archetype. I can confidently say that's completely gone in season 2. And you do get to see their flaws. The Walter boys are all so messed up, and none of them can do relationships right."

Ashby Gentry as Alex on season 2 of 'My Life With the Walter Boys'As teased in the above teaser, it's Alex who will see one of the biggest transformations this season. "[Alex] is practically a new person [in season 2], and in a way, it’s great," Gentry told Teen Vogue. "I sometimes miss season 1 Alex because it does feel a little bit like he's gone... I'm a little worried for fans of Alex because he is not the same person anymore. That Alex from season 1 is not coming back."
