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.

emotional inspiring slow-paced

I loved this book and the messages behind it, but Jax ended up being an ass and I think Elena deserves better but hey, gotta have a happy ending for everyone 🤷🏼‍♀️ 

ALSO; if a man is calling out your insecurities while dumping you, dump his ass and never talk to him again sis. 

The extended epilogue was so weird to me?? Like they just see this orphaned baby and are like ‘yea, we’re gonna adopt him’ without even ACTUALLY thinking it through??

I get tears just thinking about this book. It wasn’t sad per se but it was so painfully beautiful and just amazing in every way. This is definitely the best one in the series and Jax is bound to be my number one book boyfriend forever. I was so invested in their story and their character-development. All the characters in this book and the whole series are so lovable it’s insane. It kind of pained me to finish the book.. I didn’t want it to end. I think it was a slow burn and oh my god did I soak every drop of it up. This really kind of put the first two books in the series to shame even though I loved them too. 

This gave me so much and it will probably follow me throughout my life❤️❤️

Check trigger warnings cause while it may not have been the heaviest I’ve read, it wasn’t light.
