I read this to do an annotated hate-read of the book as a gift for one of my sisters because she finds my disdain for the series hilarious. It took me like two years to get through this 500 page shitshow.

Quite pleased with the overall plot and ending. I don't really like any of the characters (except Alice), but I enjoyed the book regardless. It was a quick read for being almost 500 pages - tempo and structure was solid.

One author complaint would be the adjectives. "Medium build" and "nondescript" and "average looking" are a few that come to mind...

I only reread this to go through and highlight all the signs of abuse. Almost every page had a highlight on it. No idea why this is still considered a romance novel.

As a big fan of the films, I loved this book. Yes, it was cringy, but that's part of what made it fun. I love a good unrealistic romance to make me laugh sometimes
