Synopsis:

Her life is just beginning.

His ended before it began.

Isabel Gardner knows two things for certain. One, she fought like hell to scrape together a life worth living.

Tristan Haverford loved being Suncrest Valley’s notorious bad boy—until a tragic accident tore his life apart. He may have changed, but the world he left doesn’t want him back. Even worse, the forbidden sparks with Isabel have become an untamed blaze he’ll have to control more than ever.

Because Tristan also knows one thing for certain:

Their painful story may be built on lies, but it’s the devastating truth that will break them.

Review:

This series expertly written by Aly Stiles called Wreck Me and wreck me it does, every new installment is a new deep wound, a different kind of pain. The writing is so good, the characters are so well depicted, with their strengths and weaknesses, I feel invested in these stories, maybe too much.

Tristan story is just brutal.

He was just released on parole and he went to live with his sister, the only person who hasn't turned her back on him. There's only a little problem, his sister's best friend and housemate, Isabel, hates him. Will he start his new life at the apartement 11F? Or will he surrender to the people hate and disappear?

I loved Tristan. He lives a life without hope, where everything is tarnished and rotten, but he still tries to protect his loved ones. At times his martyr behaviour got on my nerves, but it also show the immense kindness this character has. He is different from what people think and he needs a chance to show his real self.

I was devastated while reading Tristan's journey, I cried through the most of it. Get this book if you can endure all the emotions, you won't be disappointed.
