    About this audiobook

    Featuring the entire Beautiful series cast for one final hurrah!

    A free-spirited girl in need of a break. A man weighed down by responsibility. A road trip vacation where all bets are off. Oh, and a lot of wine.

    After walking in on her boyfriend shagging another girl in their place, Pippa Bay Cox ditches London for the States to go on a drunken road trip with Ruby Miller and some of her Beautiful friends.

    Scaling the career ladder is the default way to deal with heartbreak—and to just deal—for Jensen Bergstrom. Absolutely buried by his drive and workload, he rarely takes time for himself. But when his sister Hanna convinces him to join the gang on a two-week wine tour, 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, crazier.

    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 nothing short of Beautiful.

      Take a Writer Like Him: My Complicated Love Affair with Kingsley Amis

      It was nice to have the whole gang reunited and for catch up with the characters. I thought the narration was good. The Jamison character needed a little bit more development. Some of his challenges in the relationship did not seem to be justified by the history that was shared in the book. yes, his previous marriage ended abruptly and with a little explanation but his resistance didn’t seem to be justified by that experience.
    • 5/5
      I think this was my favorite book in this whole series, and that's saying something. There were several (actual) laugh out loud moments as I listened.

      Only minor complaints about parts of the narration. I got over it. This book was worth it
    • 5/5
      Pippa is my hero!!! I enjoyed the way the story evolved I kinda wanted a story with Jensen but after reading beautiful player and see he was married I doubted he'd have one but I got it and it was nice... I didn't think he was gonna be so uptight and workaholic because he lectured Hannah about it, I kinda expected him to be like Will though Pippa and Jensen relationship was great I'm mad at her for how she acted being back in London.
      Also Was really nice to see the happy endings of the main couples
      The moments I enjoyed the most of the whole series were when the whole gang was together Will and Max banter was the best!
      I'm deffo team Max and Niall Stella I don't know what the Stella brother's have but I'm all in.
    • 5/5
      I love Pippa, she is so funny and Jensen is a good guy that works so hard and has had his heart broken. I love that we got this story of Hannah’s brother, of course this means we got to revisit Will and her but also all of the other characters. I can’t get over how many babies there are amongst these friends and more to come. The trip is so fun to read and Pippa keeps it even more interesting. I could not believe who they ran into but in the end it helped. At the end of this story there’s an epilogue but then we get a big surprise of additional epilogues for each of our favorite stories since this is the last book in the series and they’re all fantastic.
    • 5/5
      This remains even yrs later my favorite series. Nothing has even come close. It is perfection both in the continuing story and the absolutely brilliant voice actors' performances. The audiobooks in this series must be listened to in correct order.
      All of the books written by writing duo Christina Lauren are great but this series, in my opinion, is their very best.

      The British accent is bad, no one uses words like “wanker” or “shag” that much
