Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire (Maddox Brothers #1)
'The Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster phenomenon continues in the first heart-pounding new adult romance in The Maddox Brothers series.
Fiercely independent Camille "Cami" Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn’t have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.
Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt.
Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red.
As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.
In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again'

Ok, I'll TRY and write this without spoilers because I know that there are people reading this review who have this on there 'To read' lists.
If you have read the 'Beautiful Disaster' series & enjoyed them, 'Beautiful Oblivion' is for you!!
This book.. what can I say?! Amazing!! I loved it. Ok, so I probably still prefer Aby & Travis over Trent and Cami series, but it is still so good. I loved it! Trent is no Travis and yet they're so similar, it's so hard to explain. I fell in love with Trent, another Maddox brother. I love Cami too. I loved the twist. I had to read the last chapter twice infact because it was that good and I was like "How did I even miss THAT?" I have no idea how I didn't work the twist out in the first two or three chapters. It's so unexpected. Jamie McGuire did an amazing job with this book. I enjoyed everything about this book. It's beautifully written, too.
Best book I've read since beautiful disaster. I am SO reading this book again.
