REVIEW: Total Trainwreck by Evie Claire

Total Trainwreck by Evie Claire: Carly has elevated from being a hot mess into a trainwreck. There are two things that she wants in life: being a Hollywood leading lady and the only woman in Devon’s life. She’s willing to make some compromises to keep her career and her man, but she’s also very impatient and she doesn’t deal very well with anything that seems like rejection.

When she’s with Devon, all is right in her world. But the problems come whenever they aren’t on set. Carly hates the separation and that Devon is still publicly with Heather. Devon and Carly went into their relationship with their eyes wide open about Devon’s other relationship and the limitations inherent in that.

“What everyone thinks you have…it’s Camelot, Devon. It’s an impossible reality your fans worship. How can I, can we, ever compete with that?”
“You’re exactly right. It is an impossible reality. Nothing is real in my life with her. With you, everything’s real. You can’t be bothered by what other people say about us.”

Growing up in Hollywood, Carly has had a very different life. She didn’t have a normal childhood and she continues to struggle with her past and her addictions. Devon is beyond patient and a great source of support.

“Every day you wanted to do it and didn’t do it, actually made me love you more.”
“Why?”
“Because I knew your love for me was what stopped you.”

Total Trainwreck is filled with drama, angst, insecurity, and jealousy as they play the Hollywood and fame game. It can be difficult to relate to Carly between her personality and actions. It didn’t seem like all of the drama, games, and certain plot points were really needed for the story. Evie Claire provided a unique pairing in Devon and Carly. Ms. Claire created an eclectic cast of characters, some of whom showed a surprising amount of loyalty. Total Trainwreck picks up where Hollywood Hot Mess ends. Fans of Alex Rosa and Seressia Glass will enjoy Total Trainwreck.
