Description
The New York Times bestselling Beautiful series “comes to a heartwarming conclusion” (RT Book Reviews) that features the entire cast of characters for one last hurrah as Pippa Bay Cox ditches London for a road trip through the United States with her friends.
After walking in on her boyfriend shagging another girl, Pippa Bay Cox decides it’s time for a change of man and of scenery. With Ruby Miller and some of her friends, she leaves London behind and embarks on an epic road trip across the United States.
Scaling the career ladder is Jensen Bergstroms’s default way to deal with heartbreak but when his sister Hanna convinces him to join the gang on a two-week wine tour in the US, he has a rare moment of cutting loose. Of course, it’s only once he’s committed that he realizes the strange girl he met briefly on the plane is coming along, too. She might be too much for him…or he might realize his life has become too small and needs her to make it bigger and more exciting.
With this circle of friends there’s always something going on: from Chloe and Sara’s unexpected personality swaps to Will’s new domestic side to Bennett’s text message barrage and George’s own happily-ever-after. In short, their adventures in love, friendship, and hilarity are “a perfect send off to this fun, sexy series” (Kirkus Reviews).

Wonderful
5By ELingal04I was hesitated on wether to read this last book. Boy, am I glad I did. The story of Jensen and Pippa was amazing and sweet. I am sad that this series is over. The friendships and the relationships were absolutely perfect. I will continue to read all of their books.A MUST!
5By PattiA810Great book! I am sorry that the series has come to an end. It is one of my favorites and this last installment did not disappoint. I laughed out loud, held my breath and sighed with relief throughout this book. Jensen and Pippa are the "opposites attract" couple. He is responsible and a workaholic. She is carefree and bold. They outwardly don't have many similarities but their chemistry makes them an adorable, unlikely couple. Watching Jensen and Pippa navigate their relationship from a rocky first encounter to becoming lovers is priceless and precious. What is an exciting bonus to Jensen and Pippa's story is how their ending or beginning, however you wish to look at it, includes epilogues from other characters in the Beautiful B series. It is like the gang is all here to take a final bow. Thank you and Bravo!!It just wasn’t very good
2By Mih_HallI love almost every Christina Lauren book, but this one just wasn’t very good and felt a bit unnecessary. I never got invested in Pippa and Jensen and, the whole thing just lacked steam and intrigue.LOVED

5By Alpha GroupAnother great book girls!! And do cute that you added all the wonderful characters into it as well!!Meh!
2By Hula-gurlThey totally phoned this one in. Borderline boring compared to the other Beautiful books. Non-plussed after reading. Didn't experience any attachment to any of the characters Whomp,whompIt was beautiful, it was perfect, and it will stay with me forever.
5By J_Rose.I am so devastated that one of my favorite series has come to an end. I feel like it has been forever since I started reading Beautiful Bastard and to know that we won’t be getting anything else from the Beautiful crew? It’s so bittersweet. Jensen was always a mystery to me, to be able to get inside his head in this book was like walking into a whole new world. One in which I finally understood him. I understood his thoughts and his worries and why he was always all about work. Watching him let loose with Pippa and grow to adore her and her beautiful quirkiness and weird clothing almost made my heart burst. Pippa was exactly what the doctor ordered for Jensen and they fit together so effortlessly. She was the crazy to his calm and she brought out thoughts in him that he himself wasn’t aware were deep inside him. It was beautiful It was bittersweet. Seeing everyone get together for one last hurrah was so exciting, even if most of what they did was get drunk on wine- which was absolutely hilarious, just in case you were wondering. In a way, I will always want more of these characters. I will always want to know how their life is going. If they have had any/more kids. If they have been through any hardships and if so how did they overcome it? That’s how I know. That’s how I know that this series and these characters will be with me forever. I will always think of them when someone wants a recommendation- a book that is just as beautiful and sexy as it is hilarious. A book that has a group of friends and family that are so different from one another and yet fit like they were all meant to be in each others lives. Beautiful was the PERFECT ending to this series. It provided a closure that I was so thankful for and one that I hadn’t expected in a million years and yet made me laugh so hard because it’s so like Christina Lauren to surprise her readers with such characters in the ending. I loved Pippa and Jensen’s book. I couldn’t bring myself to put the book down and when it was over and I was forced to say “this is it” - I was happy. It was beautiful, it was perfect, and it will stay with me forever. *Disclaimer: A Review Copy was kindly was provided to Reads By Rose by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

3By tkpsychpomA departure from the fantastic writing that I've come to love. The repetitive descriptions of the hero's brownstone, the tree lined streets, the internal monologues about...I don't even know what because after a while I didn't care! It's a boring book about boring people. I missed the smart dialogue, the sexual tension, the steamy scenes, and the character development that we have seen in the Beautiful books as well as the Wild Nights books. I would have enjoyed it more had it just been the series of epilogues at the end. Those were true to character and well written. I'm so disappointed that this series is ending on such a flat note, but I do look forward to seeing more from Christina Lauren in the future. I'm hoping that something fresh will bring back the original spark. If this is your first Christina Lauren, don't let it be your last!! The other books (seriously MOST of them) are so ridiculously good that you should not miss out. Here's to the end of the Beautiful series and looking forward to something new.Another great, beautiful story
5By KaswilliI read beautiful yesterday (yes,all in one day). The beautiful series is one of my favorites! I loved how y'all brought everyone back! I cried at the end. It was so bitter sweet! Jensen and Pippa were fun to read! Pippa was great for how she was just herself and honest! Jensen was the sweetest man when he let his guard down! I was laughing out loud during the book! Since this is the end (tear)... Chloe and Bennett will always be my favorite and I love, love how their story ended! Great book! Everyone should take the chance and read it! You won't be disappointed!Loved it!
5By BoooookloverIt was wonderful if you loved the other books highly recommend it.
