3.5 stars because ava got on my nerves in both books. Also because this book had way more ridiculous drama. I can read a certain level of craziness but this book is by far the nuttiest shit I've ever read. I mean between him being neurotic about everything and her I think I will/I think I won't, it was never ending.

The story continues with Jesse and Ava. She continues to try and understand him and more secrets are revealed. Love this series. Can't wait for the next book.

A differenza del primo libro di questa serie questo mi ha coinvolto maggiormente dandomi maggiori informazioni sui personaggi e facendomene innamorare.

I'm not sure why I wanted to read this second book after I actually disliked the first. There was however something compelling about Jesse (I'm a sucker for those dominating but damaged men...) and I wanted to know more about him.

This was 500+ pages of exactly the same thing as the first. Fighting, friends, fighting, friends, really not friends, fighting, really friends.

Jesse is massively hypocritical but not in a Christian Grey way. Grey was obsessive but not in a creepy way. Jesse sometimes borders on creepy and needy and whiney and ridiculously hypocritical. I hate the fact that no matter what Ava does or says, there was no getting through to him.
Ava was repetative in her, "I'm not backing down..." but actually she did, every time, even once she'd found out that he had cheated on her. It just shows she has no backbone and I really disliked her after she backed down over that issue.

I found that there were a lot of grammatical mistakes in this book as well, "I stared at him in disbelieve."

I may read the third just to see how it ends, probably after a lot of fighting and sex, but I didn't really enjoy this installment.
