Favourite Quote: "The high road? We don't know her"
What happens when you go to visit your estranged father and arrive just in time for his funeral and will reading? Well you make the best of it like Jessa did.
Overall this is a really good book, Sarah does so well in combining spice (in the form of Jessa's dad's best friend) and plot (via a stalker ex). I enjoyed the detail that was put into describing the BDSM lifestyle and the lack of shame around the dynamics the main characters were engaging in. Although Jessa was a meeker FMC than I would usually enjoy, I still liked her as a character and experiencing her growing a backbone. The only downside is the ending felt a bit unresolved for me.
