How can you continue living when you’re living a lie? How can you convince your body to stop feeling, your soul to stop caring, and your heart to stop beating? 

Haunted by her past, Olivia Adler flees Boston for a beach in Florida, leaving everyone behind, trying to shut the world out. Remaining a relative recluse in her self-imposed prison, she tries to turn everything off, wanting to feel nothing. But a new acquaintance won’t let that happen. After being away from Alexander for a month, his voice constantly ringing in her head, reminding her that her inability to confront her demons will not only destroy her, but also him, can she really be expected to want to feel again when it brings nothing but pain? 

Back in Boston, everywhere he turns, Alexander Burnham is reminded of Olivia… His Olivia… He tries to dull the ache left in his heart the only way he knows how… in the bed of a beautiful woman. But Alexander isn’t about to lose his Olivia. After a clue comes to light regarding Olivia’s whereabouts, can he convince her to return to Boston with him? When a force that has laid dormant for months resurfaces, can Alexander still protect her from the unknown danger? And when Alexander comes face to face with a shadow of both his and Olivia’s past, will he be able to tell her the secret that is threatening to tear them apart? 


A Tragic Wreck is the continuation of T.K. Leigh’s heart-breaking Beautiful Mess series.

Review
*Blogger Note: I read this series all at once and did not do my reviews before I finished the whole series (Which I hate and is not standard for me) so there is a possibility of errors in my review, mixing up books. Also if you have not read book 1 there is spoilers from the review of book 2.

And the story continues with book 2, A Tragic Wreck from the Beautiful Mess Series by T.K. Leigh. By now you must be invested; Alexander has won your heart, Olivia has got you feeling emotional, and you are wondering if you have all the pieces to the secretive and mysterious puzzle yet, that is the Beautiful Mess Series. Well I am here to tell you… baby, we’re just getting started!

We pick up where book 1 ended and things really are a mess. Olivia is in Florida running from what scares her; the secrets her mind has hidden from her and loving Alexander. Alexander is left to cope with Olivia’s tendency to run while he tries to find out where she is and if she is safe.

It’s Alex’s mission to keep Olivia safe. Even if I don’t agree with him on keeping her in the dark, it is 100% apparent that he loves her and just can’t stand to lose her again. His goal is to keep her safe and to help her find her happiness, even if it’s not with him.  I would be MORE than willing to let Alex keep me safe and make me happy… again and again and again (if you know what I mean).

Olivia is still navigating the waters trying to find answers and her happy place. Her relationship with Alex confuses her because she’s not sure what scares her more, staying with him or loosing him. Some pieces are beginning to come together from the memories Olivia had lost, she starts to have more triggers that are giving her moments where she wonders; Was this real or a dream? Have I been here before? If Alex doesn’t share the secret soon, she is bound to put the pieces together herself.

The bad guys are getting frustrated and they seem to be recruiting people to the dark side. They don’t seem to be letting things go and it’s a recipe for disaster for Olivia and the people in her life. The risks and dangers are becoming greater. Not only does she have to worry about the people who are after her but now also the plastic, bimbo Barbie from Alex’s (and her own) past, that is Adele. She is a whole other whinny, attention-seeking pain in the ass.

As I said earlier, Olivia finds herself in Florida where she meets Cameron. He’s comforting, easy, and a great person. But I think anyone reading this series is Team Burnham. But does that mean Olivia will end up with him? Poor Cam has no idea what he has got himself into when he speaks to the sad girl on her deck. He has unknowingly walked into a beautiful, tragic, chaotic messy wreck of a situation; with Olivia’s emotional state, his chances of winning Olivia’s heart, and because of the strings being pulled by bad guys behind the scenes. Good luck buddy, I think you’re going to need it!

Sounds like a great plot, right? NO, it’s not! It’s so much more. This series is a supremely creative need to read beautiful, tragic, chaotic mess! It you have read book 1, it’s time to pull the trigger for book 2 and if you’re not familiar with this series at all… leave this page NOW, by clicking on the buy links below and start from A Beautiful Mess. The Burnham’s are returning in a new series (Chasing the Dragon), out soon and you’ll need to be read up to discover Alexander’s brother- Tyler. If past performance from T.K. Leigh is any indication of how that will be, we’re all in for another wonderful ride!
