I feel that if you’ve read 50 Shades of Grey or seen the movie you either really love it, or you hate it. Well…
I am a faithful 50 Shades of Grey fan. From the release dates of the very first book (and the next 2) to reciting the words in the theater when the movie first came out. I remember my ex husband saying “How do you know what they’re going to say before they say it? It’s the first day this movie came out!” Well honey, that’s because I’m obsessed, okay?

Honestly, I get it, if the situation was different, if he wasn’t rich, handsome, sexy, sexual, Christian Grey would 100% be in jail for stalking, abusing and god knows what else but for me, I loved every minute of wishing I was Anastasia Steele. Having a wealthy, good looking man be obsessed with me? Yes please. Have unrealistic sex with me and spoil me with affection? Absolutely. Take me on a helicopter ride over the city lights? My heart is yours.
Honestly this book is just a nice escape from reality.

Grey is a great book if you want to see Christians POV, I’m very happy I read it and honestly I wish there was more… I didn’t like the ending, it felt rushed, so much was happing towards the end and then it just ended… I obviously know what happens because of the 50 Shades of Grey books, but still.. I wouldn’t have minded another Grey book to finish it off.

With all of that being said, if you’re a 50 Shades of Grey fan like myself, reading Grey is a must to finish the series!
