Aramide Tinubu One of the most challenging aspects of navigating the teen years is the constant changes young people must confront. In Netflix’s new YA series “My Life With the Walter Boys,” based on Ali Novak’s 2014 novel of the same name, the entire world of 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) comes undone instantly.

However, Jackie knows almost nothing about the Walters’ rambunctious brood of seven boys, one girl and two nephews. Upon arriving at the family’s sprawling ranch, the apprehensive teen is immediately thrown into their chaotic lives. Amid a mountainous background,

The focus here is on wives and daughters, who must turn a blind eye to criminal doings from which they both benefit and suffer the consequences.
