Desde que ha leído sus oscuros y profundamente eróticos diarios secretos, Sara McMillan no ha debajo de buscar a Rebecca, su misteriosa autora, cuyas excitantes palabras la han conmovido de una manera tan profunda. Atormentada por el poderoso deseo de aceptar las exigencias de su nuevo jefe mientras, al mismo tiempo, no puede dejar de sentirse cada vez más comprometida en la apasionada relación que tiene con el conflictivo y sensible Chris, Sara siente que se enfrenta a un pasado tan inquietante como las palabras de Rebecca. En los brazos de algunos de esos dos hombres, Sara tal vez pueda encontrar un refugio seguro donde revelar sus secretos más íntimos y explorar sus fantasías más salvajes. ¿O acaso esa seguridad no es más que una ilusión, y la verdad sobre ellos que se oculta en los diarios terminará siendo aún mucho más desconcertante?

i'll organize my thoughts more thoroughly tomorrow probably but right off the bat:

1. ava flying into a jealous rage at the end was... bad. really bad. it was obvious that ava and mark were together, like way too obvious, but ava tried awfully hard to have some sort of friendship with sara for most of these two books. i think renee jones realized halfway through the book that ava sleeping with mark could cause some drama between her and sara and raaaaaan with it before fixing any of their other interactions. there's a quick moment when sara realizes that ava hates her after chris has left for the funeral, but it's an unjustified leap and feels really out of character for ava. and then at the end here, ava flies completely off the handle just for a quick exciting climax to carry us out. it's cheap and lacks any sort of foundation.

2. chris sucks so hard. i don't give a shit about his trauma - or sara's to be honest - and frankly unless i hear he wants to drink sara's blood or some shit, i refuse to believe his ~dark needs~ are actually that terrible. like hey man, maybe if you laid everything out on the table instead of running from your fears, there wouldn't be 3 more books in this series ( )

Well I immediately bought the last book after finishing this one because I had to know. And I paid waaaaaaay more than the others but I don't care. Had to have it. Love Chris Merit. Mmm mmm good. ( )

3.5. Not quite as enticing as the first installment. ( )

Being Me is the angst-laden second novel in Lisa Renee Jones’ Inside Out trilogy. Picking up right where If I Were You leaves off, readers are thrust back into Sara McMillan’s dysfunctional relationship with Chris Merit and her investigation into Rebecca Mason’s disappearance.
