immediately read this one because i saw the synopsis and said 'oh my god, groveling!' because duh

so i was really disappointed when there was NONE. i mean, he could've done something better but it's still lacking considering the amount of pain he made her go through. spoiler alert!! he's so painfully and incredibly hung up on his dead wife imo, and i felt like he was just using her and stuff. he's also super prideful so i should've known already that he wasn't the type who grovels but it still somehow made me hope that there's atleast a little groveling he can do, but it is what it is ig

the main character stands up for herself, yes, but she folds everytime and its so annoying because she deserves so much better!! 

talks of misogyny, abuse and homophobia was here as well, but its so so so much better than the first book
