3.5 stars!
I ended up really enjoying Wrecked. This is the story of two
college students who meet under unusual circumstances, form a friendship and
then eventually something more. Lorrie has a horrible past, her mother was
murdered by her stepfather and her father took his own life due to his grief
(none of these things are spoilers, the author is very straightforward about it
in the beginning). I liked the playful banter between Hunter and Lorrie for
their friendship. What I did not like was Lorrie insistence that they remain
friends and then she would yell at him for things she had no right to be mad
about like hooking up with a girl even though he and Lorrie were just friends.
The last 25% of the book was probably the best part, as
there was a more solid plot than the beginning and middle of the book. Plus,
many issues are hashed out and the reader finally gets some answers to
questions raised throughout the beginning of the book. After that ending, I for
sure want to read the next book and find out what happens.
My one major criticism of this book: There was no
description of Lorrie!!! I mean, maybe I missed it, but it would be nice to
know what the main character looked like. Short/tall? Blond/Brunette? etc... So
hopefully in book 2 we will find out what Lorrie looks like and not just
Hunter!
