“I was in trouble. Big, disastrous, Maddox trouble.” 
― Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Oblivion

I honestly don't know what to say. I have to admit it was adorable and very emotional but the whole premise of loving two guys who in the end are brothers seems very soap opera to me.

In short summary, Cami befriends Trenton Maddox, despite everyone elses knowledge that he's been in love with her since they were kids she resists all his offers because of T.J. her long time boyfriend who is an FBI Agent (you learn this in A Beautiful Wedding) and who she never sees because he cares more about his job than her. 
After leaving Trent at the airport after he kissed her and confessed that he loves her, she gets on the flight to California to see T.J. During this trip she realises that she doens't love him, she's just been trying to convince herself that the few phone calls and texts make up a good relationship. She leaves him and returns to a very pissed off Trent who is using the silent treatment and picks up girls to try to get over Cami. 
When she finally explains to him that her relationship is over and that she chose him, he comes back to her only to have her push him away. She's hiding a something and he knows it but he just doesn't know what. 
Their relationship grows and after a few devastating events such as the Keaton Hall fire (from Beautiful Disaster) and finally when the two of them get in a car accident, which leads to Trent learning that T.J. is his brother Thomas James Maddox.
It ends happy and everyone lives, blah,blah,blah. But seriously how could he not know that it's his own brother! I thought the family was close, I mean WTF!? 

Overall I want to give this book a good rating because I did enjoy it, their's a lot more back story to all the characters including family abuse, murder accusations, roommates complicated relationships, etc. So I'm going to rate it 3.5 stars. 4 on goodreads.
