I will say, never have I been so anxious for a book. I preordered back in April, on day one. Already a hard core McGuire fan, I knew BOB was going to be good and that I would have a hard choice at the end. Would I still love Travis Maddox (Beautiful Disaster/Walking Disaster) or would I replace him with his older and equally sexy brother Trent? 
 Beautiful Oblivion is told in the first person thru Camille "Cami" Camlin. A no nonsense, confident young woman who is positive that in no way is she going to fall for that Maddox boy charm like every other woman in their small college town. Cami, coming from a dysfunctional family with a drunk abusive father and Trent coming from an emotionally broken home with the death of his mother at a young age, the two find a common ground and a need to protect one another. However, Cami has a big secret that she is sure will make Trent hate her and have serious repercussions. 
 I absolutely loved BOB. The humor, the love, the tenacity of the characters, it was the total package. The way McGuire weaves in and sticks to the timeline from BD and WD is spot on. Yet, BOB could be read as a stand alone and still make sense. The months of anticipation were well worth it, and I give this book 5 very deserving stars. 
 I'll be adding Trenton Maddox to the short list of book boyfriends ;)
