4 and 1/2 stars!! 
 I really want to give this book one less star, but I couldn't.. the feelings it left with me, prompted me to give it 5 even if in other people's opinions it didn't deserve it. 
 So here it is.. 
 This book is what you call a whirlwind of emotions, and sometimes (well, most of the times) not very good emotions! 
 The thing is, there is a lot of craziness and pent up frustration inside our Jesse that he's rubbing off his insecurity, crazy, twisted, sometimes ugly and most of the times fragile self on our Ava!! 
 In one of the scenes where (view spoiler)[she discovers him getting himself beaten by that other woman, or when she discovered that he actually slept with other women on their 'four-day-break', I thought, for sure she's gonna leave him now.. or at least work for it! But no!! That crazy bint actually goes to another man-in Jesse's establishment, mind you-and asks him to give her the beatings that-in her deluded mind-she thinks is going to set Jesse straight on his endeavor to punish himself! And somehow it works!! (hide spoiler)] 
 I actually wanted her to leave him for many, many reasons!! 
 like for example the facts that (view spoiler)[he cheated, he took her pills (trying to trap her!!), lying a LOT, acting like a total loon and just being plain old jerk most of the times! (hide spoiler)] 
 But apparently our Ava is asking for it, and in her tries to right the wrongs and survive Jesse's challenging ways, she actually manages to give you one of the juiciest pieces of books I've ever read!! 
 So, that in addition to all the increased possessive, Jealousy of our Mr. Ward... 
 I dub thee, a 5-star book!! 
 And off to read the next one ;)
