Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire

3.0

“Anything to do with the Maddoxes is never boring.”

This is the first installment in the Maddox Brothers series which is a continuation of Beautiful Disaster. No longer with Travis in the spotlight this book features Trenton Maddox. Though he is not as crazy and wild as his younger brother, there are something's that run in the blood. While fierce and intimidating to all around him, he shows his kindness and love towards Camille Camlin, his childhood love.

For some reason I decided to plunge back into the crazy life of the Maddox brothers. They are impulsive, hot tempered and wild. They fight until no one is left standing and love until they have no more to give. Who wouldn't find a story like that fun? Me. I wouldn't.

Don't get me wrong the store was okay. It had the usual Maddox madness. Random bursts of violence, binge drinking, and dramatic declarations of love. It also had a lot of things in the way of their crazy love because what would a book be without obstacles right? Especially obstacles that could be easily overcome. Like why was the secret such a big secret? Why was it that serious and why would Trent hate her if he found out? It's not like Cami was with Trent when it happened s its not like she owed him anything? This could have been resolved early in the story! But, oh well.

Now a thing that has been drivning me crazy is the name. DOes everyone in this world name all of their kids the same? Why are all brtheres the same? The Maddox brothers are Thomas, Taylor, Tyler, Trenton and Travis. The Camlin brotheres are Chase, Colin, Clark and Coby. Why? Does everyone's parents think this is cool? Then there are the love interests. For Travis its Abby Abernathy. For Trent its, Camille Camlin. For Thomas it will be Liis Lindy. Then that one kid is Olive Oliver. It's not a real problem I know. I'm probably just being weird but it kind of bothers me.

This was not really a review but it's all I've got.
