Emotions went all over the place in this book! Some chapters were surprising (certainly the ending), but some I personally liked less (but I won't give any spoilers). You have to experience the book by yourself, especially because of the mixed reviews. But besides that, Elena became one of my favorite characters throughout the book!

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.

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.
