Infinitely better than the first book, although still with its flaws. The story is much more compelling and a lot of trauma-related behaviors feel much more realistic in a way. I think it's kind of corny and gross to just pretend the love interests didn't do skeevy things in the first book, and I also don't care for the abundance of sex scenes (how many times does SJM think a girl will cum from fingering and penetration? Has she had sex before??). But other than that, seriously much more interesting than the first book.
