I just couldn't get into the characters or their relationship, and, to be honest, I didn't like the setup for the romance (the 2 leftover single people in a group of couples get together while on a trip). It wasn't a bad read - I just wasn't really feeling it and a little disappointed after loving all of the others books in this series.
I did, however, really enjoy the epilogues at the end. And a lot of the book was pretty funny.

I think I will always love the characters in this world that Christina Lauren created, and even though Pippa and Jensen were "fringe", it was still so much fun to read about them and check in with the rest of the group. Perhaps the least sexy of the stories, I still enjoyed it and it felt like a satisfying conclusion.
One note of irritation that will likely stick with me for a while:

Spoiler
HOW did Pippa just hop on a train/whatever to NYC the NIGHT BEFORE INTERVIEWS?! Google tells me it's a 3.5 hour ride on the fast train and 4.5 on a normal one.
A good ending to the Beautiful series. This book focused on Jensen and Pippa while they’re on a trip with the rest of the BB gang. It was fun to see them interacting in the presence of Will/Hanna, Niall/Ruby, Bennett/Chloe and Max/Sara. Loved the updates with all the other couples, however I did find some of it a little confusing to follow as there were so many characters to catch up with. Overall a fun and easy read.
Took a bit of time to remember who all of the characters were because there are A LOT of them. Pippa was a bit much at first but I grew to really like her. The epilogues for each couple at the very end was a nice touch.
the first 60-70% of the book was adorable and i absolutely loved that Will and Hanna were in it so much and the epilogues get 5 stars, but i just reallyyyy didn't care about the conflict in this book. also George should've gotten his own book in this series. but it was a fun and quick read!
Mehhhhhhh. I feel like Christina Lauren books just don't do it for me anymore. The Stage Dive series has ruined me for the genre tbh
definitely more like 4 stars but the MULTIPLE EPILOGUES sold me on 5 immediately. this series wrapped up so perfectly!
I really liked this one, but I didn't love it. Yes, that sounds contradictory, but it's my review so I don't care. I felt like it was a good end to the series, or to the books that have been released so far.
I didn't like the story. Well no, I liked the idea of the road trip and the holiday, but there were too many ridiculous and unbelievable moments that made me want to hurl the book across the room. If I wasn't so lazy when I sit down to read, I probably would have.
I did, however, absolutely love the way the character came together. I liked seeing the snippets of the other characters I've enjoyed. I liked seeing the evolution of their stories and lives, and seeing how things have changed. I liked following the characters I liked further (Will and Hanna *cough*) in a more relaxed setting. I just liked all of this. This kind of thing is why I stick with this premise of picking up a minor character from the first book and making the sequel about them, because I like how it follows and segues and moves and interlinks.

This was a fun read. Not my favorite pairing (LOVE Hanna and Will) but I love how Christina Lauren brings back old story lines and keeps the characters relevant. Sad that the Beautiful series is done but looking forward to seeing what else these lovely ladies put out!
Why did I read, not only the last book in the series, but the last book in a series that I hated the first book?
Honestly, I have no idea.
Well, maybe I have a slight idea.
It was available at the library, and the premise sounded intriguing enough, and here we are. I liked it.
I would also like to note that the Christina Lauren's writing has gotten leagues better since the first book, so kudos.
