‘‘An image of her shackled to my bench, peeled gingerroot inserted in her ass so she can’t clench her buttocks.’’

Okay, I’ve finally came to the conclusion that the 50 Shades trilogy is my guilty pleasure. It’s so bad it's kinda good and I can't stop laughing. Also I love complaining about it. Freed wasn't on sale but this one was so I decided to finally read it and I have a feeling it will be worse than 50 Shades. I kinda regret buying it.
Soooo this is shit. shit shit shit. It’s not even so bad it's good like the first one. Grey is a whiny baby with no personality and somehow his point of view is worse than Ana's. Ugh I miss Anastasia's complex vocabulary. I just want her to say Jeez one more time...
...omfg it's almost 600pages long… why are these books so fucking big?

‘‘The book is dedicated to those who asked... and asked... and asked... and asked for this.''
Okay which one of u fuckers is responsible for this abomination? Come on make urself known, I won't jump u.

I finally understand why they like each other. Both have no personality and they are the definition of cringe. Also I’m so confused. Is everything Grey says and does supposed to be sexy? After reading this I don't think I can ever be turned on again.
I get why 50 Shades is a popular trilogy. If u are into ''BDSM'' erotica, you will probably like it. What I don't get is who on earth enjoys Grey *the book*. I get that you may be attracted to him because he is mysterious and sexy and bossy and interesting *yes I’m bullshiting. He is none of those adjectives. He is lame, boring and a controlling man-child* but here the ''mystery'' is gone and he is whiny and lame. I found the sex scenes in 50 cringe inducing but I can see why middle aged women get wet while reading them. Here they are boring. Thanks EL, my vag just died 👍.

The Positives:
I really like the cover and the material it's made out of.
....yeah that's pretty much it

The Negatives *I tried to control myself*:
‘‘How did I not notice how inviting that mouth is.'' uuuuggghhhhhhhhh
‘‘Grey... stop this now.'' Yeah grey, listen to ur consciousness. Fuck dude, I’m cringing so fucking hard and I’m on page 7.
''-Maybe you're just lucky.
-Lucky? A frisson of annoyance runs through me''
1.stop whining 2.she ain’t wrong. u have to be lucky in order to succeed.
‘‘Are you gay, Mr. Grey?'' NOT AGAAAIIIINNN. UUUGGGGHHH ''I have a sudden urge to drag her out of her seat, bend her over my knee, spank her, and then fuck her over the desk... that would answer her ridiculous question.'' okay mach macho man. u proved ur dominance, now we believe that u are a horny dominant heterosexual MAN... Jesus. Do u know in how many pages he complains about the fact that she asked if he's gay? More than 1 and 1 page would honestly be one too many. WE GET IT, YOU ARE STRAIGHT. WE GET IIITTT!!!!!... Are u bi tho?... I was planning on mentioning all the parts were he whines about been called gay but the review would be TOO long. This is the short version.
''Welch. I need a background check.'' Right he is also a creep. I forgot. ‘‘Looking for some insight into the enigmatic Miss Anastasia.'' she is not an enigma. She is an open book. She has no personality and u could learn everything u need to know about her by talking to her for 2 minutes. Also I like how he didn't ask her out to find about her life but instead he chose to pay someone to stalk her and get information about her life.
‘‘Sexual orientation unknown... perhaps she's gay.
She’s affected by me... she's not gay, then.''
....I hope they both die. They won't but you know hopes and dreams.
‘‘She laughs. At me. At me!'' okay Beyonce, calm down.
''-what would you suggest I put into a search engine?
-always start with Wikipedia.''
okay 1.wiki is not a reliable source and u should def not start with it 2.that didn't answer her question. She asked what should she Google. To be fair, it's a stupid question but u could have said Shibari or some shit.
‘‘He knows I’m a monster'' image

‘‘Show me how much it can hurt... punish me. I want to know how bad it can get.'' yes I will complain about it again. This bitch asked him to beat the fuck out of her cheeks and then was like how dare u spank me and left him. YOU asked for this. Why are u mad at him? I mean yeah she should have never dated him but that was probably the only time he didn't fuck up or act like a creep... both of them are insane. Why do I bother… ‘‘Well you are one fucked up son of a bitch.'' true but he just spanked u 6 times. It’s not that deep and u could have stopped him.
‘‘Move on Grey. Move on.'' god please do. So Grey is generally garbage but Grey after the break up is garbage AND pathetic. I read like 30pages of him saying she left me, oh no, move on Grey.... wow EL James is a rubbish writer.
‘‘At least I’ll be able to keep an eye on Ana.’’

Rachel I've read the first fifty shades book and hated it. Your review is way better and more entertaining than the books.


Vanna (on-hiatus) Kudos to you Ria for not DNFing this one.. 🙄. I think this author is trying to milk her one and only success.. (the books were a novelty at the time and maybe that's why they were popular)

oh hell yeah she is. if she truly wanted to do this she would have when 50 came out. now getting to read all 3books again but by Grey's POV is just unnecessary. it adds absolutely nothing to the story and personally i think that she made Grey even worse. btw there are parts that are copy pasted from 50 Shades

thanks and don't bother. it's full of bad dialogues and an inaccurate portrayal of BDSM
