3.5 StarsBeautiful Oblivion was a sweet read and I enjoyed just coasting along with the story. The story is about two soul mates who struggle with the society and expectations that they have grown up in and don’t realise they belong together. The main characters, Reese and Ace have been friends since childhood. Reese has come up with a plan to lose her virginity to Ace because she really does like him. She proposes a summer fling with the hopes of more in the end. Ace is quick to get on board because he’s a guy and he’s had strong feelings for Reese for a long time.Ace is really a great guy. He is the perfect gentleman and takes things slow with Reese. Don’t get me wrong, things certainly get hot between the couple, but he didn’t just jump on her once the details were hashed out. He seduces her and losing her V-card was going to be the grand finale!! He charms Reese with simple things like camping, picnics and gentleness. He really is the perfect guy we all dream about!Reese has come from money and is a little nave at times. She spends a lot of time with Warren, because his family lives close by and their fathers are partners in their law firm. Spending too much time with Warren has landed her in a relationship without even realising it, making their parents very happy. Reese would rather avoid conflict if she can help it and doesn’t tell Warren about her lack of feelings for him; instead she spends the summer stealing time with Ace, the only guy she really likes.There were a few elements that gave great depth to the story. The side characters, especially Brylee and Kennedy, who could see that Reese and Ace deserve to be together. Also, the letters from Reese’s mother; they effected Reese deeply and helped her when she needed it most. Addison has done a beautiful job telling Reese and Ace’s story. If you enjoy a nice story about a couple developing their relationship over a summer fling, you will enjoy this one!!
