4.5 stars. I shouldn't continue to be surprised by Jeremy's dark and diabolical nature, but yet I am. Perhaps he would benefit from medication? However, Lilly rules that possibility out because beyond the rage and cruelness is a tight exterior of control exhibited by Jeremy. However, despite all of Jeremy's attempts to own Lilly in every way, she seems to be someone capable of making him become unglued in a split second. Of course I feel a lot of empathy for Lilly, she has no choice but to abide by the rules even when her mind wanders to consider the alternatives because revenge is tempting, if not necessary, even if it is only to be subtle in a passive-aggressive way. She's beginning to test out the mentality of keeping one's friend close, but keeping one's enemy closer. I still admire her internal strength. She is a true survivor and she lets herself enjoy the good moments, as displaced as her feelings might seem. Jeremy is a vile person, he might actually care for Lilly given all the trouble he has had to go through to get her and to keep her, but his way of expressing that is obviously unacceptable and totally depraved compared to a healthy relationship. Jeremy's got some serious issues stemming from his childhood that have yet to be elaborated on, otherwise I'm not sure what other explanation there could be. Yeah, I hate him, no doubt about that. He seems to enjoy the power trip and force over Lilly and well, to be quite frank, offering her these baby step rewards towards increased independence is so incredibly juvenile. The way he lashes out at her is extremely childish laced with dangerous adult malice. I have to hand it to Lilly in accepting this arrangement as her new frame of normal while she tries to anticipate Jeremy's motives because to consider otherwise would break her and she refuses to let that happen. Still so many questions linger, I honestly don't know what to think except to wait patiently for the next installment.
