Could you tell me whether there exists any difference between
a) You look like a wreck.
b) You look a wreck.
?
Thanks in advance!
There isn't a great deal of difference. To me, the wording of (b) feels slightly more usual or idiomatic, and slightly more appropriate given that "wreck" is not meant literally. Opinions may vary.
