I hate to rate this one low—especially after loving The Mixtape—but The Wreckage of Us wasn’t my jam. While I appreciated the dramatic storyline, the characters felt maybe too young for me. Even the ‘adult’ struggles they faced still carried a YA vibe that didn’t quite land.

No knock on Brittainy Cherry’s writing though! I’ll still read more of her work. This one just didn’t connect with me like I’d hoped.
