Books like Beautiful by Christina Lauren
Pippa Bay‑Cox’s world shatters when she stumbles upon her boyfriend with another woman. In a spontaneous bid to escape, she heads to the United States on a spirited, often drunken road trip with Ruby Miller and a handful of companions.
Along the way, Pippa encounters Jensen Bergstrom, a repressed man who has suppressed his feelings through endless work. His sister Hanna lures him into a two‑week wine‑tour of the East Coast, providing a rare chance to loosen his grip on routine. The brief flirtation with a stranger on the plane—who joins the group—adds an unexpected element to the group dynamic.
As the miles pass, the ensemble confronts their own desires, insecurities, and the possibility that the road may lead them to surprising new beginnings—and perhaps a different kind of love.
