Beautiful was okay. I didn’t really like it. I LOVED Bastard, Stranger & Player, but I was disappointed reading this book.
I found Jensen to be really frustrating and irritating and Pippa was just okay. It was a little boring and I was disappointed it wasn’t smutty like the others. My favorite part were the epilogues. I loved that the series started with the Bastard and ended with the Bastard. A true full circle moment.
I think I fell so in love & I got so attached to Chloe, Bennett, Sara, Max, Hanna, & Will that it was hard to let them go as the series progressed. I also did not plan to read the entire series back to back, but it was just so damn addicting I couldn’t stop! I’m so grateful that we got so many stories of them & new characters, but I would have been happy if it ended as a trilogy and ending with Beautiful Beginning or just more short stories of the six of them.
I love Christina Lauren. I think they are amazing rom com, romance writers. I love their stories, the characters, their writing. Their books are so funny & heartfelt & sexy. This one just didn’t do it for me. However, the Beautiful series was my first adult contemporary romance series and still absolutely loved & enjoyed the crap out of it!

Method: audiobook
Rating: 4/5 stars
H rating: 4/5 - Jensen. Liked you, yes, but man you held onto feelings for 6+ years..that was tough to see.
h rating: 5/5 - Pippa. Loved your just be you nature.
Drama: /5 - Mainly due to Jensen.
Thoughts: Loved the hilarity of the h. I enjoyed their trip, and really loved the extended epilogues at the end!
OK. More like 2.5 stars. I don't want to read the others in the series. Audiobook narrators: guy was great (Seb York) but girl just meh.
3.5*
Not the best end of a series I've ever read.. But I love that everyone got a say in the end.

Loved it of course! I think anyone who reads these wonderful books falls in love with the characters. I'm sad I'm done. I could read about this gang of friends through all their life's adventures.
4 stars
It started out a bit slower than the others, but it was a nice way to wrap it all up. Less ... romance... than the others too. But I enjoyed the relationship overall.

Not enough Bennett and Chloe for me especially being the final book of the series but still very good.
I did find Jensen and Pippa's reunion a little lacking...

I love love love this story! The sassy heroine, the buttoned up hero. The friends, the humor, the scenery and of course the romance. I sobbed at the epilogue(s).
This being the end of the series, I felt these people were My friends and family. I hate to see them go, alas it was a perfect ending for me. CHEERS!
