the writing in wrecked is noticeably better than in it's predecessors imo. the romance didn't click with me so it was probably my least favourite aspect of the book but i liked the characterisation and i cared so much more about them than i did the lead characters of the last 2 books. in general, elena and jax had more depth and better character development. this book isn't much less corny than the last two but i actually didn't hate it as much as i was expecting to. don't get me wrong, there was still a lot of flaws (elena's parents' murder, for one - i didn't catch a single explanation for why they were shot by gang members/drug dealers in their own home) but it was a better read than i was expecting.

adub345's review against another edition

I felt like most of the "plot" so far was talking about what a bad boy he was for partying and how she was always sneaking glances at him. No actual spark or chemistry or character. Very bland.

It's heart-wrenching. The title is fitting, it wrecked me. 😭 I cannot help but think and imagine Jax withering away with the disease. Against all hope, even though it would make the story unrealistic and the book super lame, I was hoping the diagnosis was wrong or anything. Oh God.
