Almost Beautiful

Nothing like Beautiful Disaster. Story doesn’t develop the characters, rather repeats the same repetitive ‘angst’ over and over. Rushes through other points of the story - very disappointing if you are a Beautiful Disaster fan

I felt like I had to read this as I’ve read all the books in the Beautiful/Maddox brothers series but honestly this was not my favourite.
The first half of the book was so repetitive and honestly a struggle to get through… “I love you but you’re gonna leave me!”, “I’m not going to leave you, you’re going to leave me!”
Also a few references to Uber, instagram and FaceTime, but then it was set in 2009/2010 so not even sure they were really a thing then??
There were grammatical errors throughout the book but what bugged me the most is the inconsistencies between events in this book and the same events in other books in the series. For instance, in this book Cami is a bridesmaid but in one of the other Maddox brothers books she is a guest and sits with Jim and one of the other girlfriends. Then also the big announcement at the end of this book was done a completely different way in one of the other books.
I struggled to find Adam’s character believable in this book as it was the complete opposite of how his character was written in BD.
Everything that happened in this story has been explained in other books in the series so I don’t think this was necessary. I feel like it was written just to cash in on the hype surrounding the upcoming movie. There are other books by this author that are so much better and deserve sequels and prequels and spin-offs. I think there is nothing more that needs to be written about Travis and Abby.
