I'm sad to see this series end but I really enjoyed it! I liked Jensen and Pippa and it was fun to see them interacted with the couples from the past books. I loved the multiple epilogue chapters at the end. Great book, wonderful series. I love CLo.
It must be hard to finish off a series filled with so many well-loved characters. How do you write a perfect goodbye to them all? Christina and Lo managed it easily in Jensen and Pippa's story. I loved seeing all the couples in varying stages of taking the next step in their lives. And the final epilogue was brilliant. The perfect end to an awesome ride.

I really like this series, but, I have to say I got kind of bored. I admire the work ethic and the way these books are put together as stand-alones but also as series if you read them in order. I love rom-com series like that! But, they are...very similar to each other in certain ways. It just really dragged- this one in particular- it was so slow. I can handle 'slow' except that nothing was really happening.
Just had a hard time getting through this one.
But, overall, the first 4 books of this series are really good, but, beyond that? Idk. It's like a sitcom; it doesn't end when it should have because the writers got greedy with their creativity and thought they could keep going with it; keep it as good as the first few books, but I think it was best fresh. After that not so much.

I made the conscious decision to put off reading Beautiful for... well, far too long. The Beautiful Bastard series is one of my all-time favorites and, to be honest, I just couldn't bring myself to let it go. It might sound kinda silly, but it felt like as long as there was one book out there that I hadn't read, it wasn't really over. Does anyone else have a really hard time letting go of their favorite characters, books and/or series? I struggle with this a lot sometimes. It finally felt like the right time a couple weeks ago, so I jumped on in. And while I don't regret waiting to read it, I'm glad I finally did. Beautiful was exactly the book I needed/wanted it to be.
There's just something about the characters in this series. I can't get enough of them. I loved seeing more from my old favorites. The friendships, romances and bromances are A+. But the newer characters Jensen and Pippa were fantastic, too. I relished the chance to get to know them better and I developed a bit of a girl crush on Pippa. She's the kind of smart, sassy and genuine character I can get behind. Jensen grew on me as the story progressed. I shipped these two hard. As hard as I shipped any pairing earlier in the series.
Beautiful is one of the most satisfying series conclusions I've read in a long time. I can't think of one single thing I would change about it. I loved how the focus was on Pippa and Jensen, but how everyone came together. It punched me in the feels over and over again. I laughed and cried. I swooned and blushed. The epilogues were absolute perfection. I'm getting a little teary-eyed just thinking about them. My heart is so, so full.

"To get the best woman in the world, I had to start with the basics: Love her as she is, not as you want her to be. Become the person she can't live without. Be her right-hand man. Learn what she needs, and she won't give you up, not for anything in the world."

They write well, which makes the book good, but I felt there was a lack of relationship development.
Lots of sex and unbelievable story lines. Everyone is rich, successful, beautiful and boring.
AHHH this epilogue was everything
but seriously the jokes about Chloe hahhah it was so hard to imagine her like that :)
Jensen and Pippa were okay but all the other couples were so much more interesting but I'm really sad that this series is over
But it was a really good finale

I read this book in a day on audio, so this was a fast read for me. I liked Pippa, she was the perfect heroine, independent, smart and funny, but with flaws and insecurities sometimes. She was my favorite and I loved being in her head. Jensen was boring and so predictable. And the way he treated Pippa after their holiday was frustrating for me.
This is a series I started many years ago and I loved this characters, so it took me some time to actually start this book because I didn't want to end. I loved the epilogues, it was so nice to visit each of the main characters from previous book and I adored every second.
