Wrecked

by Maria Padian

Everyone has heard a different version of what happened that night at MacCallum College. Haley was already in bed when her roommate, Jenny, arrived home shell-shocked from the wild Conundrum House party. Richard heard his housemate Jordan brag about the cute freshman he hooked up with. When Jenny formally accuses Jordan of rape, Haley and Richard find themselves pushed onto opposite sides of the school's investigation.

I'm upset with this book but not because of the story. I'm upset because it's actually how it is in real life. And it's frustrating to think that colleges make decisions that aren't good just to keep their reputation safe. It's disgusting. Maria Padian shed so much light to this matter. It showed through her writing that she did a lot of research for this story. I learned a lot about the legal actions when it comes to assaults in colleges and how they handle it.

I was disappointed when it came to what really happened because it wasn't explained more. I feel like there were holes in the story so I was left a little bit confused.

Overall, Wrecked is a very eye-opening and heart-wrenching story on assault in colleges and how colleges handle these cases. Event though the setting counts for this story to be New Adult, I find that it's also great for readers of 15 and above.



I received an eARC and ARC from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.This review was originally posted on Latte Nights Reviews.
