So firstly, LOL.
I’ve seen the movies multiple times and have never read the books although they’ve been on my bookshelf for years.
I went into this expecting a sense of unintended comedic relief, which I received. The book isn’t TERRIBLE for what it is but it’s definitely cringy and basic.
I’m not a “spicy” book reader but as a nonbinary, black and queer person… I am not the target audience nor did it reach my own wants if I was to read a spicy novel.
I watched the movie afterwards and it makes so much sense why people were so upset with the casting of Christian Grey. 😂 Again, not a spicy reader but I had high hopes of who could play these roles (excluding me knowing who was already casted)… so I can side with the Fifty Shades haters on that one.
I recommend this book if you are into BSDM adjacent ventures or a spicy book reader.. you’ll get a laugh or two by the end of it.
