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.

So, who do I speak to in order to get my heart back because Tristan Haverford stole it the minute he stepped through the door of Apartment 11F. His story, one he shares with Isabel Gardner, totally wrecked me in the best way possible. Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F is the third novel in the Wreck Me series, and Aly Stiles did not hold back, delivering a story that rips your heart out piece by piece then stitches it all back together by the end.
When he was nineteen, Tristan Haverford made two choices that would change his life: he broke seventeen-year-old Isabel Gardner's heart, and he confessed to a hit-and-run that cost a teenager her life. Four years later, Isabel's life has moved forward, and she's enjoying being a college student. And then her best friend and roommate informs her that someone will be moving in with them--none other than Tristan, who is out on parole.
Oh, Tristan, Tristan, Tristan. My heart broke for every single thing he went through. I already had a feeling what that first twist was, and as I anticipated its revelation, my emotions were in freefall. I seriously wanted to defend him each time he was treated like was less than who he was. There were moments where I teared up, realizing everything that was being thrown Tristan's way, yet he persevered, even amidst the insurmountable.
As much as I adored Tristan, I think Isabel said it best: This isn't just his story. She was someone who had a quiet strength to her and she spoke up for Tristan when he chose to stay silent. These two had a deep love for each other in spite of the obstacles they had to hurdle over the years. I knew how extraordinary a storyteller Aly Stiles was, but she surpassed any and all expectations. Five-plus stars go to Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F.

5 stars just isn't enough! You must grab this one asap. And lots of tissues too...
Tristan Haverford comes living with his sister Kim and her best friend Isabel. Once a notorious bad boy, the life of a party is now only a shell of himself, a broken boy.
A tragic accident tore his life apart and now he just wants to try to move on. People won't let him though, he's not even given a chance.
Isabel doesn't want him in her life either, years ago he broke her heart. But as the days go by those feelings from the past cautiously slam back full force. With each interaction, a flutter of hope begins to unravel in each of their hearts.
Tristan's suffering put me on the edge of my seat. I have never felt so much emotions while reading in my life, I could feel all the pain! It ripped my heart out.
And I didn't even tell you the half of it!
Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F stole my heart, broke it, robbed me of breath, and made me ache.
Powerful and trully unforgettable!

Well, Aly Stiles, you can add Tristan & Isabel to my list of Books That Do NOT Suck!! GAHHH! My poor heart!!
After a year of anxiously awaiting Aly’s next book, I knew she was going to come out full force with breaking my heart! She’s notorious for wrecking me w/ her words and then stitching me back together again. But with a few scars left behind. Just like she did w/ Ashton, Camden, the NSB series and every single one of the Save Me series.
Tristan & Isabel has left me reeling in heartbreak over how authentic & raw these characters’ traumas were. Aly has a gift for bringing light to real life horrors. Things we hear about in every day society. And she shows us ways to be better humans. Kinder, more understanding, supportive, less judgmental. To make a difference in someone else’s life instead of being a bystander. To offer help & hope.
I loved these characters so deeply. Many times while reading I could feel myself holding my breath & my heart beating fast. There’s enough lightness, great banter and steam to balance the heaviness of emotions. And we’re given a special treat w/ a surprise appearance by beloved characters from another book.
Yeah, this book definitely does not suck!

Tristan's just now getting out of prison after having served 4 years. He needs a place to stay, and his sister's the only one who's stood by him, still keeps in contact with him. So taking her up on her offer to live with her and her roommate is his only option. Too bad his sister's roommate, Isabel, can't stand him. All he wants to do is start over but how can he when there are still so many untruths clinging to him? When the people in this town won't let him just be?
Isabel has complicated feelings for her new roommate, but in her heart of hearts, she still has a soft spot for her friend's brother, the guy she had a huge crush on once upon a time. Now that he's living with them, she will have to decide if she can let him in truly, see past the lies and secrets that surround Tristan. Then and only then, will they have a chance at happiness.
Tissues. Grab a box of them before starting on this story - you'll need them. Pain, heartbreak, secrets and lies all tangled up with two people trying to see their way to happiness. Tristan is at heart a beautiful person, prone to making a martyr of himself for the people he loves. Isabel is strong with an equally big heart, one of the few who truly saw Tristan, saw beyond his bad boy façade and into his wonderful inner being. I loved their story even though I cried buckets of tears as Tristan tried to find himself and Isabel tried to get him to see himself the way she saw him.

To be perfectly honest with you I have no idea what the hell I am going to write to review this book...words actually fail me.
Aly Stiles just knows how to screw with my heart and my emotions her writing always makes me reflect on things,on life and behaviour and what kind of person I want to be.
Tristan and Isobels story is yet another exquisite book,that comes from Aly's wonderful imagination and flawless storytelling.
Back in school Isobel had an infatuatin with her best friends older brother Tristan,and like fate he is now years later sleeping on her couch after 4 years in prison.Those 4 years have put a shadow on Tristan's life and even though he wants to find his way back to the light after being in darkness,its like society won't let him.Won't give him a second chance,or make him forget.
My Heart actually ached for Tristan,actually ached I found myself clutching my chest as the tears fell for both Tristan and Isobel,his beacon of hope.
I felt so much for these characters I wondered if I would ever make it through this story,it touched my very soul.
Its Tragic,beautiful,hopeful and powerful...like the lyrics to your favourite love song Aly's words will stay in your mind for a very long time.
Aly's book will ALWAYS have my highest recommendations because they stir up something deep inside you and once you start reading they never let you go until the very end.
Outstanding!!
5 Stars.

There were times reading this beautiful book when I thought if I was driving and listening to this, I would have to pull over. This is a deeply emotional read about love, loyalty, sacrifice and the sheer battle to keep your head held high against the odds. Tristan's life is in the pits and he has to face so much. Isabel's responses to him ricochet around her feelings of betrayal, hurt and love. To say that my heart was wrung out would be an understatement, but this was all mitigated by the sheer integrity and courage of Tristan.
I loved the lines at the end of many chapters, "I know one thing you're not/are". A book which has cemented Aly Stiles as one of my favourite authors. She has a way of capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the human state. Wonderful 💖 💖 💖 💖 💖

Over the years Ms. Stiles has become quite the underrated author, an author with a talent for playing with our emotions before putting us back together in anticipation of her next unforgettable book release! With this third installment in the Wreck Me series readers will find a story that was well worth the wait, a story of second chances that will pull you into the lives of three people trying to start their lives over. This series is called Wreck Me for a reason and with each turn of the page I shed a few more tears, fell in love with Tristan a bit more, all while rooting for these characters to rise above the nastiness of others.
At one time Tristan Haverford was the boy everyone wanted to hang out with, the life of the party with a larger than life personality. A tragic accident changed his life irrevocably though, leading to a 4 year stint in jail that's left him a shell of his former self, and desperately trying to start over. It's a transition that doesn't go smoothly though as others see him as a pariah, someone not worth knowing, and definitely not worth giving a second chance to. The town's prejudices were painful to witness, breaking my heart as Tristan just wanted to live his life in peace. Despite the prejudices there's much more to Tristan than what others think and see, he's a truly caring and supportive man with a big heart, someone who's willing to sacrifice everything for those he loves. Unfortunately there's not many willing to support him after the town and his own parents turn their backs on him. All he has is his sister Kim, who lets him live with her, and Isabel who's also his new roommate and who once had a crush on him. The three of them become a formidable trio, it becomes them against the world. I was drawn to all three of these characters, ached for each of them, and the rocky road their lives have traveled on. For Isabel, she grew up poor under the prejudice of living in a trailer park before her hard work paid off with a college degree in engineering. The crush she once had on Tristan was thrown back in her face, for a reason, but Tristan needs her more than air if he truly wants to start over now. Isabel needs Tristan too as her current relationship is toxic, abusive and controlling, as well as dangerous to Tristan's future. Kim has also had a rough time since her brother got sent away. Her life fell apart, the plans she had for herself went up in smoke, and the only family she has supporting her now is Tristan. All three of these characters needed a chance to start over and I was rooting for them wholeheartedly to find any small moment of happiness.
With each turn of the page the truth of what happened four years ago threatens to come out...and while truths are necessary, I felt that things were going to take an even more painful turn. From start to finish this was a story full of harsh realities, a hero who was truly heroic at the expense of his soul, and the heartwarming proof of the love of a good woman making all the difference. There were lots of tears and lots of anger at the small-minded townspeople, moments nicely balanced with those occasional acts of human decency, as well as the growing heartfelt connection between Tristan and Isabel. It all makes for a powerful tale, one teeming with painful truths, that kept me glued to the pages while I raced to yet another unforgettable conclusion from Ms. Stiles!

Once again I am blown away by the incredible writing talent that is Aly Stiles. I thought my heart was broken by the first two books in this series but Tristan's story takes it to a whole new level. It left me thinking about how how easily people jump on the bandwagon of hatefulness and cruelty without mercy. On the flipside I was also left feeling grateful for the good people out there who believe in forgiveness and second chances.
Tristan's story is heartbreaking beyond belief. Here is a good man willing to sacrify his life to save his sister's after an accident that killed a popular girl in their high school. The horror that he experienced during his four years in prison has left him broken and on his knees, not knowing if he will ever be able to get up again. All he has to live for now is being close to Isabel the girl he has loved since High School even though she now hates him.
This story is so emotional I found myself in tears while reading it, and trust me you will need some tissues handy too. Isabel is emotionally broken after losing Tristan and though she has worked hard to become successful at her career she has found herself entangled with a man who belittles her and tries to control her every chance he gets. He is jealous of Tristan and is out to do whatever he can to get him back into prison and away from Isabel. As Isabel's schoolgirl love for Tristan resurfaces and grows into adult love she is unable to keep him at arms length and even though Tristan is reluctant they are able to rekindle their relationship. After seeing first hand how cruel people are to him Isabel is willing to help him all she can even if it costs her her career and the loss of her best friend.
As the many truths about the accident and it's aftermath come out I was totally stunned and not expecting this outcome. Luckily by the end of the book my faith in the goodness of people had been restored. This is a story you will not want to miss, it is hard to say if it is my favourite in the Wreck me series as all three of them have totally wrecked me in different ways but I highly recommend reading all of them.

What a way to wring your heart! Aly Stiles writes heart wrenching stories that really break your heart. She takes her characters through an obstacle course as if to try out their survival capabilities. About halfway through this book I was already waving my white flag and asking for a surcease of the angst!
Isabel and Kim are best friends and roommates. Isabel is finishing her engineer studies and working as an intern, having come up from a trailer park with determination and hard work. Kim used to be on a career to success too, but when her brother was imprisoned for vehicular manslaughter, she broke down, lost her way, and ended up working in a bar.
When Kim’s brother Tristan gets out of prison on parole, he had nowhere to go, his parents renounced him and wanted nothing to do with him. So Kim brought him to their apartment, against Isabel’s very strong objections. Isabel had always had a crush on Tristan, but he rejected her very publicly and very humiliatingly, and now she hated him.
And here starts a story about hate and prejudice. Tristan is trying very hard to make a life, be useful to society, but everywhere he goes, the condemnation he receives from people is just staggering. I was appalled at the cruelty of people, the lack of empathy and compassion. It’s a never ending via crucis! And together with Tristan’s struggles, is Kim’s utter suffering seeing the treatment her brother is receiving. Isabel started out hating Tristan but as days go by, she starts realizing a lot of stuff that she was merely accepting and cruising with.
This author pummels you constantly with Tristan’s turmoil. I was getting angry at the people in that town, so judgmental and condemning. But after all the angst, when something positive happens, I felt that it was about dang time. I read this book in one day, it was that riveting. All the characters bring out all the feelings you can expect from human beings: hatred, guilt, revenge, sympathy, compassion, forgiveness and redemption. The price paid was high but the happiness achieved was worth all the angst. Way to break my heart and mend it again!

Isabel Gardner's life is on the way to success. She's about to get her engineering degree, she's dating a guy from a prestigious family and everything seems to have fallen into place. Until her best friend and roommate drops a bomb on her: her brother, Tristan Havenford, has been released from jail and is coming to live with them. Him being an ex-con would be a bit of a problem, but the worst part is that Isabel had a massive crush on him all through her life and he humiliated her and broke her heart. She was never able to resist his charm so how is she going to be living under the same roof with him?
Tristan really loved being Suncrest Valley's residential bad boy. He was having fun with that until a horrible accident destroyed all his hopes and dreams. Now, he's back home in a town where nobody wants him, living in an apartment with the girl he can't have. No one wants him back. So why does Isabel still look at him with the same loving eyes, making him hope and wish for a future he knows he can't have?
This book wrecked me (no pun intended). You can feel the moment you meet Tristan that he's not what everyone thinks of him. When secrets start being revealed you just want to hug him.
Aly knows how to break your heart into a million little pieces but she also mends it back in an incredibly satisfactory way. Tristan and Isabel go through so much to get their HEA that you see yourself actually cheering for them.
This very beautiful story is a standalone, but if you, like me, are a fan of the Wreck Me series , you'll get a little treat when Ashton and Iris (along with her dad) make an appearance.
Gut-wrenchingly beautiful!
Rep and possible triggers: Tristan's mom is Hispanic/Latinx. MMC is suffering from trauma due to his incarceration, an act of violence is committed against a MC on page, FMC is in an emotionally abusive relationship, parental abandonment
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you, Aly Styles for the advanced copy.

Between my blurred vision from too many hours of staring at my Kindle and the puffiness from my tears, I'm actually having a hard time seeing to type this review. That's what this book has done to me. Where do I even begin?
Isabel may have crushed on her best friend's older brother back in high school, but now that he's crashing on her couch after serving 4 years in prison, she's over it. Nowadays, she just hates him, or so she tells herself. Tristan thought that maybe he could get his life back after being released from prison, but he was wrong. No one wants him back, and his past haunts him. There are secrets and lies weighing heavily on him, and to top it all off, his little sister's best friend is his new roommate.
This was such an emotional read for me. Not an ugly cry, but I'd just find tears streaming down my face at random times throughout this story. This story is HEAVY. My heart was absolutely shattered for Tristan. He has been through so much, and although we don't have to live the brutal details of his torment, the implications are there and enough is said to paint the ugly picture of his past. It's a heartbreaking picture.
This is one of those books where I suspected where this story was headed, and I wasn't wrong, but it's just one of those storylines that you can't foresee ending well. I was angst-ridden trying to come up with a solution to everyone's problems, and at times, I couldn't see how this story would have a HEA.
As with all of this author's books, this story is beautifully written with amazing character building and imagery. You don't just read Aly Stiles' books, you live them. You experience every emotion right along with her characters. This story is 5+ stars and is another reminder as to why this author is one of the most under-rated romance authors on the scene today.

Four years ago, Isabel’s highschool crush and brother’s best friend went to prison for a tragedy. Tristan has just been released on parole and a stipulation of that is having a place to live. This is how he ends up living on Kim and Isbel’s couch. There is a tension and stress between all the relationships in the book at the first. Tristan and Isabel chemistry is palpable, even though Tristian is a shell of the man he once was.
I was really glad that what could have been the biggest stress between Tristian and Isabel was addressed early in the book. But as the truth comes out they find out that it does not change the situation they find themselves in. The truth does not always make things easier, and justice does not always follow the truth. All the characters in this book must face the past and the impact it has had on the present.
I was concerned for a bit about this being a love triangle but it is not. Pierce is a prick from the beginning. But his character demonstrates how easily someone can abuse their power and those around them. I knew Tristan would be a complex individual, and he did not disappoint. He is such a tortured soul, but his selfishness is expodental. Isabel has come through a lot of her own hurt and I feel as if seeing Tristan again snapped her out of a daze. She was not fully living before but rather waiting. This is a heartbreaking story to get through but highlights so many of the truths we all live with daily. And that a “normal” HEA is still an HEA to live for.

Tristan and Isabel is an emotionally gripping book that you will not want to put down. I loved this one so much. It brought tears to my eyes and grabbed my heart in so many ways. Tristan has always felt like he did not matter, that he was unlovable and no matter what he did he was not good enough. Isabel has loved Tristan forever, she fought to move past living in a trailer stigma. One night changed everything for Tristan and he has paid the price. There is this pull between Tristan and Isabel you cannot deny. They will own your heart as they grow closer again. When the truth comes out you feel for everyone. You get why Tristan did what he did and why he does what he does when it comes to taking the fall. You feel for everything Tristan went through and continues to go through when he is trying to move on with his life. I love how Isabel begins to realize what Tristan has never seen in himself. There is a thin line between love and hate and no matter what Isabel could not hold onto her hatred as much as she wanted to. I just could not get enough of Tristan and Isabel as they move on from the past together. Your heart is on for one heck of a journey in this one. You need to one click this now and fall hard for Tristan and Isabel. I'm so in love with the Wreck Me series and this book right here will just own you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
is one of the most angst-filled dramas I have ever read. The subject matter is intense and gritty. These characters absolutely stretch the boundaries between pain and pleasure, love and hate, injustice and justice, as well as, betrayal and loyalty. It is not an easy read.
I could not put this book down. It grabbed me from the opening lines and refused to release me until the last line was read. Tristan and Isabel broke my heart in so many ways. It also reminded me that no matter how dark life gets, Love will find a way to shine its light to guide us.
The characters in this final book of the Wreck Me Series, are so very complex. Their stories are tough. The loyalty, character, and love for each are tested. The subject matter is heart-rending. However, Aly Stiles, as usual finds a way to take the heart shards left in the wake of reading this novel and glue them back together with the heat and passion of her words.
The story and characters may be fictional, but the pieces of their humanity are recognizable and so very real. The very best and worst of Suncrest Valley make appearances in this book. Although the subject matter is very edgy and raw, the message of the book is hopeful and sincere. Aly Stiles never lets her readers forget that Love wins every time.

After reading this story (well, I suppose I already knew), there’s one thing that’s certain: the world is a dark place. But it’s also full of light and hope.
Tristan was plunged into the darkness and is looking for any glimmer of light he can find; it seems once he glimpses light, it’s either stolen from him or he turns his back on it. He’s a wounded soul that is wracked with trauma and believes that he is a poison to those around him. But he is oh-so-misunderstood.
I will admit that I wasn’t a huge fan of Isabel in the early parts of the book…she was judgmental, hard, and wasn’t extremely likable, in my opinion. Then I really thought about it and figured out that this was her defensive mechanism. I was then able to give her the chance (as a reader) that she needed to tear down her walls and show her true colors, which she certainly did throughout her journey.
Aly is the queen of bleeding out onto the page. I so admire that she doesn’t shy away from writing the hard, painful parts of life, even when they’re hard to read. Because you know what? Tristan’s fictional trauma is someone’s reality. This pain in life deserves to be validated, just as much as the belief in light and hope does. Because with the dark, there will come light; it just takes one person to see it.

This is a well written slow burn romance that tugs on the heartstrings but just not the way I expected. Tristan has been released from prison and now has to try and rebuild his life but with only his sister in his corner he has a difficult road ahead. Isabel is his sister's friend and as of now his reluctant roommate.
Maybe it's because I love a bad boy but I fell for Tristan from the start he is the stand out character in this story for me. Isabel rubbed me up the wrong way. The way she spoke to Tristan upset me a lot and I knew she would have to go a long way to redeem herself in my eyes. I felt that the author wrote all of the emotions that Tristan was feeling perfectly and it gave a good representation of what someone in his situation would go through. His pain follows him constantly it hurts to read how he feels about himself and how others treat him. He may have been a player but the man he is now is an introspective thoughtful caring man that I wanted to protect at all costs. Although I was happy with the progression of their relationship I'm still not sure she deserves his love. With some surprises along the way this was a story I really enjoyed.

5 heartbreaking stars!
Man - this one is tough!! There is a reason this series is called Wreck Me...and I am wrecked.
Tristan has had a difficult hand in life and he may be "free" from prison physically, but certainly not mentally. His sister is struggling mightily too which we learn why and you will likely suspect. Isabel - I wasn't a big fan of hers at first as she is incredibly unreasonable and at times cruel to Tristan. Although they have a bad history - her unwillingness to give him a chance really grated on me.
Then all is revealed and the book really gets to the meat of everything. Your heart will likely break several times throughout the course of this story. I built up a lot of unshed tears.
But in true Aly Stiles fashion - your heart is sewn up and mended by the end. And boy did that cameo make me smile through the pain!
Another brilliant story by the incredibly talented Ms. Stiles. Her books never fail to disappoint and make you feel all the feels. Beautiful story, beautiful characters, and some incredibly horrible ones too although the ones who get redeemed are good to see!
I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.

5 huge tear stained stars
Wow just wow!
What a brilliant piece of writing! I devoured this book. Tristan and Isabels story is woven with twists, suspense, heartache, emotion that I felt deep in my soul, family, love and a bit of spice. I absolutely adored Tristan. He is a broken bad boy that proves you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
Isabel has had a crush on her best friends brother since they were at school but circumstances wiped away any chance of that crush turning into more no matter how much it was wanted. When Tristan ends up staying with his sister and Isabel it's fireworks from the off. Isabels life isn't all that rosey she's trying to work hard to secure her job and make something of her life after a rocky start to life and Tristan being in her space throws her through a loop.
I just loved this one so much. It had a bit of everything and I loved the suspense element to the story. Aly is such a brilliant story teller her writing sucks you in and doesn't let go. She's so good at getting emotions and feelings down on the page you can't help but feel what you are reading. A brilliant addition to the Wreck Me series.

The Wreck Me Series
Book 3: Tristan & Isabel Apartment 11F
Well, Aly Stiles has done it again! No one writes an emotionally tortured Hero like Aly. My heart broke for Tristan and everything he had gone though. I wanted to reach into the pages and hug him throughout this story. You feel his struggles, his pain, his fear, and his isolation as he tries to navigate his life after being released from prison.
- And through-out all of this, his number one priority is protecting those around him.
Isabel comes across judgmental in the beginning - but you soon come to realize that it's a defensive posture to shield her heart. Once she accepts how she still feels about Tristan, it was an experience to witness her try to break down his walls and show him that he is worth fighting for. This is a second chance romance that ends in a happy place.
I loved that we got to see Ashton & Iris from Book 1!
If you have not read this series yet - you definitely should. Each Book is amazing and a complete stand-alone featuring a different couple.

Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F is book #3 in the Wreck You series. It is a stand-alone and most definitely the darkest tone so far in the series. The content is much heavier, much deeper. Tristian's story is emotional and heart wrenching. Aly Stiles pulled out all of the emotions.
How can someone look so stunning and tragic at the same time?
All is not doom and gloom. Tristan and Isabel's story comes full circle. I loved Isabel's heart and her positivity. There is hope and there is love. It is a slow burn. So get comfortable for this ride. I was glad that some of the many situations were handled in a realistic way. There was no magic wand that was waved for resolution.
We are also treated to cameos from Ashton Morgan! (book #1) Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F will leave you relieved to read "The End." Aly Stiles writes such beautiful and poetic characters and stories. I can't wait for the next book!

Aly Stiles did an outstanding job with the third release in the Wreck Me series. Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F will have you on an emotional journey and believe me, it is worth every second of your time.
Tristan Haverford is one of the most popular guys in Suncrest Valley. One tragic event changed everything for him and took away a lot from his life. It took away more than just four years in prison. The only ones left are his sister, Kim, and Isabel. They are the only ones that support and motivate him.
Isabel Gardner is a fighter and will do anything for the people around her. Her crush from High School is now living with them and she knows that it will bring back old feelings. She still hates and loves him at the same time. Not sure how she should feel.
The truth will change more than they think. Lies can cause more damage than good.
Tristan & Isabel: Apartment 11F is a must-read for the contemporary romance readers and can be read as a standalone.
The truth can set you free.

Another peice of magic from Aly!! Be prepared to not be able to put this down!!
This book didnt go where i expected it to and there were several moments where my jaw hit the floor in a good way!!
Tristan and isabel were a perfect couple different in so many ways and i think many people will relate to them especially to Isabel.
This review is really hard i dont want to give anything away and spoil the expereince of their journey and what it took for them to get their happy ever after. You will cry and get frustrated with the both of them through out the story but thats what makes Aly's books so great is that you are on the journey with the characters and feel what they do.
Readers of Alys books will be pleased to know that a couple of old faces appear in this story which was amazing.
Overall i love Tristan and isabel and did not want this to end and im looking forward to the next book in this series.

Tristan is not the same man that he was went to prison. He knew life wouldn't be kind and generous when he got out but was it worse then what was in his head? He certainly wasn't living the life he dreamed of when he was 18. So many dreams that didn't get realized and a heart that had already been broke.
Isabel has fought for everything that she has got out of life. Her life is on track for her dreams to come true and then Tristan her old crush moves in and stays on his sisters couch. She realizes that he doesn't have anywhere else to go but really, how is that her problem? She knows being around Tristan is going to be hard but she really didn't know how hard.
The more they try to stay way from each other the more they gravitate to the other one. The more they talk, they realize something. The heart wants what the heart wants but secrets have a way of coming out. Will they be able to handle them or will they push them further away?

Would you tell your secrets if it would set your free?
In Tristan and Isabel, we will be faced with secrets and truths and pain and love, but if you knew all that the others were hiding would it be enough to grant you freedom. Their story will grip your soul. You will be faced with a rawness of emotions, moral dilemmas and the heartbreaking story of true love.
Tristian is facing an uncertain future haunted by ghosts he can’t shake, Isabel has the brightest future ahead of her, one where her dream will all become reality. Their families make the future and the present something they have to fight for and against each other on. It isn’t until realizing your life is worth it, that sacrifices of many forms are needed and that love in all forms will heal.
Aly delivers again a story so beautifully tragic and so real and raw that you won’t want to put it down.

Oh boy. My heart broke over and over for Tristan. I’ll admit that I never really contemplated how difficult it would be to transition back into society after being in prison, but every awful thing he undeservingly endured seemed like it could and would actually happen, and that just made me sad. Plus, the scene where Tristan’s father learned the truth gave me a good cathartic cry. I wasn’t teary the whole time, though—I really loved seeing Ashton, Iris, and salt of the earth Kyle Alexander again, and the role they played in giving Tristan his life back.
This was so much more than a romance and I give credit to Aly Stiles for making me think about some unpleasant but important things and reminding me that we should never be stingy with our compassion.

Every book I read in this series continues to Wreck Me, and none more so than Tristan & Isabel, if I could give this story more than 5* I would without hesitation, but I am not even sure I can write a review that will give justice to this extremely not only mesmerizing read but also a truly epic tale, this will be like no other book you have read this year, Tristan & Isabel's story is more than a romance it is a story dipped in tragedy and lies but throughout all the dark moments that glimmer of what could be for this pair is like those flickers of sunlight that come through your window before you pull back the curtain and allow yourself to bask in the warm sun as it finally hits your face.
Well done Aly Stiles, you have once again left me speechless!

5 Star Review Tristan & Isabel :Apartment 11FC (The Wreck Me Series #3) by Aly Stiles
Ms. Stiles drew me in with Isabel Gardner and Tristan Haverford’s story and I was hooked from the first to the last chapter.
This was an emotional roller coaster of a read from the first chapter to the last. Tristan has paid the price and has recently been released from prison. He knew it wouldn’t be easy but is determined to forge ahead with his life.
Meeting Isabel, he is drawn to her. I loved their journey, it was emotional and heart warming. This book pulled so many emotions out of me that I was drained when I finished it, it was well written and one that will leave you thinking about it long after you have finished.

Oh my heart. Tristan has grabbed a hold of it and won’t let it go 😍
I absolutely loved this second chance, enemies-to-lovers romance. Aly sure knows how to write emotion. This was another one of her Wreck Me Series that brought me to tears. Tristan made me feel everything he was going through…and I mean everything! I was crying with him through all the lows and shedding happy tears through all the highs. The love between him and Isabel just makes my heart soar 😍
Highly recommend this beautifully written romance!

Amazingly written, hauntingly beautiful, painfully perfect. Tristan and Isabel's story will wreck you and glue back together in span of pages.
It seems so rare to get better and better with each book but that's Aly's case. When I think this is her best book, she writes another one that is even better. "Limelight" may have forever a special place in my heart, but this one is her best book so far. I'm so proud of you, Aly! ❤
