4.0

I was pleasantly surprised with this read. I haven’t read the original fifty shades trilogy (they’re on my TBR, this one just happened to be available at the library first), but I have seen the movies. I personally didn’t care for the films much, but I really enjoyed this book. The character development was probably the most surprising part of the book for me. I was expecting the characters to be more flat and less relatable, but I found myself interested and invested in their stories as both a couple and as separate characters. I’m interested to see how it compares to the original fifty shades of grey book.
