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.

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.
