There didn't seem to be much plot outside of the sex. It got to the point where I actually skipped over sex scenes so I could keep reading in search of a story. Christian annoyed me to no end. He was horribly emotionally abusive to Ana. I once wrote a possible conversation between Christian and Ana on my blog to highlight his ridiculous behavior. It went something like this:<br />Ana: "I like the color blue."<br />Christian: "You don't LOVE ME?!"<br />Ana: "What? No! Of course I love you!"<br />Christian: "But you said you like blue...that means you don't like black...or at least that you like blue more than black...which means you don't like my black shirt, and that means you DON'T LOVE ME!"<br />Ana: "I love you, Christian! I'm so sorry that I was so inconsiderate!"<br />He reacted so violently to mundane comments and actions. It made me sick how Ana was constantly walking on eggshells to avoid hurting his feelings. He wasn't abusing her physically in this regard- only emotionally. I agree with you. This is not responsible fiction.'Copter Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223623780397951645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696463844568830460.post-32512641265257622192012-06-18T17:16:08.708+01:002012-06-18T17:16:08.708+01:00Great post, Erin--I have as yet to make it past ch...Great post, Erin--I have as yet to make it past chapter six, simply unable to keep reading due to a number of issues that have nothing to do with me being a prude...
