Last book in the series brought the entire Beautiful gang together. While the book is mostly about Jensen and Pippa, everyone made an appearance, and everyone is doing just fine. It started with Bennett and Chloe and is fitting that it ended in the final epilogue with them as well.

I'm so sad to see this series end. But it was also bittersweet because I came to love all of them in their own way. But my favorite couples will forever be Chloe and Bennett and Will and Hanna. Overall I really enjoyed the series and this last book.

“She was such a surprising mix of gentle and brash, of focused and flighty. It was almost as if I could see the little girl in her battling with the responsible woman, figuring out which would lead the way.”

Jensen & Pippa

Honestly I love this series. The characters are all rich and full of personality. I loved that I got the epilogue's for all the previous couples in this one and I loved getting more of the newest couples. It was a fitting ending.

Pippa and Jensen while not full of the fiery passion of the other couples were sweet; and slow and built over the course of their 2 week road trip. I loved watching them bond and connect and find that their flaws aren't necessarily flaws with the right place to land.

More often than not lately I get into these NA moods and am always so happy to find a longer series (or multiple ones) by authors that I like. As a disclaimer, I know for a fact that not all of my friends on GR would like these. While some of the books in either series have had good plots, some of them I honestly just liked because of the smut and the dynamic between the characters. A lot of them had me laughing out loud with the banter, and I always thought the writing was pretty engaging. There were a lot of typical NA plot points BUT because I enjoyed the writing and the specific characters so much, that really didn't bother me.

I really liked this book in particular and thought it was better than #4. However, while it was great to revisit some of my old favorite characters, I felt like the story was less about Pippa and Jensen. And that sucks because I loved those two!!! Pippa was a HILARIOUS, eccentric Brit and Jensen just seemed hot AF lol. Like I almost wish they would have just released a short but separate epilogue novella but OH WELL.

These books aren't the type to change your life BUT the characters are ones you come to care about by the end. I actually really liked every single female lead and was able to relate to most of them. Even though this wasn't my absolute favorite of the bunch, I really liked the message towards the end. Pippa didn't like where she was in life--her job, her old flat, her life in general--so she changed it. Reading things like that (even if you know they are about completely fictional people) always give me a jolt and make me think--hey, Arielle, you're kind of letting life pass you by and your routine kind of sucks lately, get out there and do some more exciting things, girl).

Soooo yeah, overall I recommend both series. :)
