Ship Wrecked by Olivia Dade
3.0

Not my favourite instalment but still really good! I love the main characters, they were so much fun to read and I loved the depth they had. I did feel like I was missing the strong friendship bonds that were present in other books, which is weird because Maria’s whole thing is that she needs to be around people she loves all the time. I also really didn’t like the huge time jump; I turned the page and all of a sudden it’s saying 6 years have gone by? I wish we could have seen their relationship build over that time, it would have made their chemistry a lot stronger. The snippets of text messages that were sprinkled throughout weren’t enough to fill that gap. And the self-realization at the end went on for WAY too long. It could have been cut in half and it still would have been long lol. Like I get it, you’ve finally realized when the reader already knew this whole time that you fucked up, shut and go deal with it
