Beautiful by Christina Lauren

1.0

Finally, the series is done! I can be at peace now. Beautiful is the final book in this series, with yet another new couple thrown into this mess.

My thing is that this series wasn't completely awful and it wasn't problematic or abusive, I just never really liked it and only kept reading because of reading challenges. Maybe early on I could have bought the chemistry between the couples but now? Nah. This series has gone on for too many books and introduced too many couples that were put together just because. Pippa and Jensen get together literally because everyone in their friend / family groups wanted them to just because they were there. Zero chemistry and god, they were boring.

It was so bizarre too because they get off to a rough start of Pippa walking in and hearing Jensen shit talk her (after she got drunk on the plane and spilled her life story to him) and then not that many pages later she's like, wow I can already see he's a kind and responsible man! And then the dude's sister also calls him responsible because she INSTANTLY wanted Pippa to date him and I was confused.

There are honestly so many couples now and they are ALL married and with multiple kids now and I screamed. They are all connected or related in way or another but don't ask me anything about those people because wHO. I could barely keep up in the last book but they really introduced even more. The last 10% of this book was an epilogue too of ALL the other books and I just don't care. Plus this book felt like it focused mainly on the other couples too?? I just don't understand why this book had to happen. Just write a long epilogue book for everyone instead of shoving a boring new couple with no chemistry in.

Also the fact that this book is just called "Beautiful" with nothing else means we've reached the final form and that just makes me laugh.
