This is Twilight basically, just minus the wolves and vampires
Ana is a horny girl who's main driving force is her hormones despite having gotten passed puberty. She think she's "in love" with Christian despite being only in love with his body and her romanticisation of his past despite him being emotionally unavailable and sexually not fit for her. But nope, it's got to be him
Christian Grey is just a sad man with trauma as excuse for being bad and one sided as a character
The only reason why I'm rating it 2 stars is that the ending gave Ana some sense and Christian Grey an ending that should have made him reflect

Nobody will understand the abuse and torment, Christian has gone through if they do not get over the sex. I love this book and the series as a whole. Anna grows and becomes strong, independent, and just amazing, while she helps Christian grow and change. This is the beginning of something intense and life-altering!
