After years and years, finally decided to bite the bullet and read this. I also never seen any of the movies so I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I was over how the email and texting were. It was driving me crazy. “ to Anastasia Steele from: Christian grey. Subject: (insert) time: (insert) date: (insert)” and maybe because I listened to it on audio so it was super monotonous. Also, if I never have to hear the words inner goddess again, I’ll be ok. I did like the story line, it was cute. I like how she brought out a side to him and vice versa. The spice was definitely there. It was fun and exciting if that is your sort of thing. I don’t think I’ll be indulging on the other books of the series, unless it is read and not on audio.
