Wrecked by Lauren Asher

emotional inspiring slow-paced

4.0

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??

this book had me screaming, crying all the things!! I loved this as an audiobook (listening on 1.4x speed was hilarious) and I can’t wait to finish this series!! This could’ve been shorter, but idc because i LOVED it. 

Liam and Sophie are my new faves.

I had a guess (and was confident) how this book would go, then it was going somewhere I didn’t want, then back to what I originally thought with a little twist. 

Overall, loved the storyline and little twists, but it was so predictable from the beginning.

This was very much a YA book, but it was such a great mystery too!! 

It's a simple and easy read, but it keeps you hooked the entire time. 

I could've done without the short chapters, but I can't wait to continue the series!

I didn't want this book to end 😭

I was literally kicking and screaming the whole time. Rory is such a golden retriever and I loved Hazel. Like idk why, but I related to her so much??? 

Honestly, loved it more than Behind the Net 🤭

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

honestly no clue how to feel about this, especially the ending. there were parts that didn’t keep me interested until the last few chapters and everything happened so fast.
