Total Trainwreck by Evie Claire
4.0

Copy received via Netgalley for an honest review

Total Trainwreck follows on right where Hollywood Hot Mess finishes, so you will need to have read it first.

After the end of Hot Mess, I needed to know what happened with Carly. She had come such a long way from the beginning to the end of the first book, and when we learn where she is today, ugh my heart broke for her.

And I wanted to slap the crap out of Devon - ugh, really, really slap him.

But then we got to about 30% and finally

Devon grew a pair... but then I think they forgot to drop as he carried on the same for most of the rest of the book.

I felt that Devon didn't really grow at all through the books. Whereas Carly grew and owned up to her actions and became a better person, I felt that Devon stalled. Even almost to the end of this second book, he was still dealing with the things he was at the beginning of the first. I felt that if it was wasn't for Carly thing would have still been the same at the end of this one.

And Carly, I thought the poor girls eyes were going to fall out of her head the amount of times she rolled them! (this might just bother me though!!)

I did like that Devon and Carly kept working at their relationship, but at times I felt that it was the same argument/problem/hurdle over and over again and nothing would change.

Through it all I wanted them to make it. To have the fairytale, Hollywood ending they deserved.

But to find out if they get it, you will need to read for yourself.

There is plenty of drama, intrigue, blackmail and suspense, with a fair share of horrible people to boot.

While I did like Total Trainwreck, I didn't like it as much as Hollywood Hot Mess, but it was still an enjoyable read for me.
