2.0

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.

5 million stars!!! This was so good! This book wrecked me lol. I loved every second of reading Jax and Elena's story. This was every and more. Them bonding over their troubles but fighting through them together was so heartwarming and heartbreaking at once. I loved everything about this. It was heavy but so amazing from the dedication to the last page. I loved every side character so much as well especially Caleb. I loved that no one was problematic. Jax and Elena deserve the world <3
