You’ve binge-watched My Life with the Walter Boys and now you’re totally obsessed. Honestly, same.
For fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty series, this is the next best thing. Set in the same Colorado town, Jackie falls head over heels for two brothers (no surprises there!).
But there’s more to the story.
Spoiler alert: While Jackie (played by Nikki Rodriguez) seems like your average, grade-A teen, it’s fascinating to watch her dynamic shift as she adjusts to living with seven—maybe even eight—different brothers (honestly, I’ve lost count at this point).
After the tragic death of her parents, she’s forced to move from New York, and like many teen dramas, she faces new friendships, romances, and the challenges of growing up. Each episode brings a few twists, lovable characters, and an overall sweet, feel-good vibe—perfect for those days when you need a little comfort.
