This is Twilight basically, just minus the wolves and vampires
Ana is a horny girl who's main driving force is her hormones despite having gotten passed puberty. She think she's "in love" with Christian despite being only in love with his body and her romanticisation of his past despite him being emotionally unavailable and sexually not fit for her. But nope, it's got to be him
Christian Grey is just a sad man with trauma as excuse for being bad and one sided as a character
The only reason why I'm rating it 2 stars is that the ending gave Ana some sense and Christian Grey an ending that should have made him reflect
Update: This is better than what if it’s us. I actually had fun reading this although it’s quite stressful (Dec 22, 2024)

This is the worst book I have ever read. Christian is a toxic manipulative person and Anastasia isn’t a good person either.
