When Fan Girls Cry is the follow up to When Fan Girls Lie. I liked the first book and it ended with quite a cliffhanger, so I needed to read this one to find out what happened. I didn't enjoy this one quite as much.I think the big turn off for me was how cruel the main character of Staffan was to the woman he was supposed to love. I get that he has trust issues, being burned by someone he loved. And that being who he is women tend to lie to him to get what they want. But you can't tell someone you love them, and then turn around and call them a liar and use some pretty horrible names to do it. And when she does tell him the truth, he wont accept what she says. So once again Saffi is forced to lie to him, and THAT he believes?Saffi was such a great character in the first book. In this one she was just a sniveling, crying heap most of the time. And she couldn't figure out why Staffan was ticked about all of her lies.I don't know, maybe in the end these two characters deserved each other.I'm not a prude, and I like sex in some of the books I read. But the first sex scene, really felt off for me. It was uncomfortable to read. Between the f-word being thrown out every other line and the abuse, for the lack of a better word, I was not impressed. Read the first book. Otherwise you will be lost with this story. There is just way to much missing information. It wasn't horrible. It was just not great.
