Beautiful Oblivion
Trenton Maddox has been in love with Camille "Cami" Camlin since... forever.
but he has never done anything about it.
Cami is holding on for dear life to her independance. She has moved out, she has a job, she has her friends, she keeps her brothers at bay... which keeps her parents at bay.
Working at the Red Door bar, she busies herself with work and the small drama that goes on between the patrons and her best friend Raegan. She also has her own drama with boyfriend T.J living all the way in California for his super distracting and demanding job.
When Trenton Maddox starts hanging around more, she pays no attention to it. She can be friends with a Maddox brother; no big deal.
Except Maddox boys don't give their hearts easy, and they are not as tough as everyone thinks. When they fall, they fall hard. No amount of tattoos is going to be able to cover up the heartbreak that Cami could cause if she plays her cards wrong.
Yet again, McGuire has given us a perfect boy who's in love with the only woman he could be. Told only from Cami's perspective, we see both sides of her heart battle it out between what she thinks she wants, and what she knows she has. Just as real and smart-assy as Travis and Abby's story, McGuire tells a story of the power of true love and how fragile it can be. It's possible to love more than one person, but how you love them can never be the same. Cami's story teaches us to follow your heart, consequences be damned (to some extent - don't be heartless now) while Trent shows us how important that first love can be.
