I haven't read the others in this series but true to the statement it can very well be read as a standalone. This is my first F1 book and Lauren does play into the premise well.
I enjoyed Wrecked and reading about Jax & Elena's love story as well as their personal healing journeys. The fact that these two were both broken souls that came together and found the beauty within each other made my heart MELT π₯Ίπ₯Ή Its the kind of relationship anyone would want where the other cares,supports and believes in you when you never could. It came for my heart yall and I love these two together.
Elena was the perfect fmc and she made a great partner to Jax. I love how she never give up on him and how he was ready to give it all up for her.
Now our boy did his fair share at being a good boyfriend to her as well. They equally paired and matched together.
That starting had my heart breaking for little Elena honestly and I kept waiting for the time both Elena and Jax would tell each other about their demons. Jax harboring self-hatred,anxiety and self destruction is something that hits hard to us that have anxiety and my heart went out to him. Initially I liked Elena more but as we read more into Jax's pov I started to like them both maybe Elena just a tiny bit more, coz she was so strong yet so sweet.
Overall it was a beautiful relationship with realness about the ugly side of life. It wasn't just rainbows and unicorns like in a general romance. This dealt with heavy themes and Lauren did it so beautifully. I'm glad I got to read their story.

I think this is my favorite from Lauren Asher. Elena and Jax are two sides of the same coin in the most heart wrenching way. Probably the most emotional of the series so far.

Ok this book surprised me. Not my favorite of the series but it was a good book. It had some dark and heavy subjects but I think they were handled in a good way. Mental health was a big thing in this book and I think that Lauren was able to represent chronic anxiety very well. Chronic illness was also a main topic in this book and it surprised me, I didnβt expect this but I think it was a great thing plot wise. I think that it brought good conversations about therapy and medication management. I think that Jax was struggling a lot and it is very clear his development throughout the story. I struggled a bit with connecting with him, he was very annoying at some points but at the end of the day I liked his character, just not in the way I was expecting, and definitely not like Noah, Santiago and Liam. The way he handled some things was questionable and I think thatβs why I struggled with his character. Elena was for me the best part of the book. She is such a strong MMC and such a great character overall. She had a very rough childhood and we can see how much she struggled with that but also was able to heal throughout the book. Something I didnβt not like about the book was the stereotypes that were placed in Elena and her family, it just didnβt fit with me and it pissed me off at some times. I do think not everyone would like this book, but thereβs not much I could say about it. Itβs just a book that you have to read and discover yourself and not based it off only on reviews. I would read it again if I were to read the whole series.
