Thank goodness, this is better than the first book. I thought it was less exhausting than This Man. 
 Jesse is still a serious control freak with Ava, but we finally get a better understanding of him. And we finally get to see small (very small) glimpses of him acting normal. 
 Thankfully there is no cliff hanger, and there is a small bonus chapter in Jesse's point of view. I'm excited to start the next book!
