1.0

I will be very blunt. 

I read this when I was 15 (too young, I know), and even at the time I could not believe that a grown adult wrote this. It reads like a bad fanfic written by a teen. 

I am not even going to get into this abusive relationship depicted as romantic, and somehow desirable. Shameful.

2.0

this book was better than the first but somehow even more cringe. i’m asexual so half the time I have no idea what the hell I’m reading I’m literally only here for the drama.

i am deceased bc it took christan a book AND A HALF TO SAY I LOVE YOU TO ANA LIKE BROTHA😭

Anyway I have to read the third book now because the ending was just too much of a cliffhanger not to.

Ana and Christian’s relationship dramatically improved, and this book took back the bad representation of BDSM that upset so many readers. The pacing and plot points are a bit messy, but I actually found myself enjoying this one.
