Today is Valentine’s Day, and instead of doing something corny and super romantic, I decided to review two questionable romance books. I’m talking about Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James and After by Anna Todd. Truth is I had no idea what to post, and I’ve been meaning to write reviews for both of these books, and Valentine’s Day is as good as any other day to do it. I decided to review both books together not only because both come from fanfictions, but because both have questionable relationship dynamics and belong to the same genre. Even though they are similar, each book still has very different storylines, but I’ll get to that later. First, let me review each one separately. In review: Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James I’m just gonna put it out there, and I don’t care what people might think. I really really really enjoyed this book. It was funny, entertaining, captivating, cringy, sexy, and overall a nice read. It’s not a masterpiece and far away from being the best book in its genre, but it does what is supposed to do: entertain. I totally understand why it’s a bestseller. I wanted to keep on reading, I was having fun, cringing, laughing, and cringing again. There was something that kept me coming for more and made my reading so enjoyable, and that is all I wanted, to have a good time. As much fun as I had while reading Fifty Shades of Grey, I still saw a lot of red flags regarding their relationship. It’s not a spoiler that Christian Grey is a possessive and controller with no knowledge of boundaries. Their relationship is toxic, but Ana recognises that it is bad, and she will get hurt, even though she still doesn’t back off (that’s another story). And when things would get too much out of hand for her, she would speak up. Ana was still trying to find a way to change what she didn’t like in the relationship, and Christian little by little was allowing it to happen. But this still is a book about a bad relationship, although acknowledging that allowed me to enjoy this book. Also, I can’t avoid mentioning the sex scenes since this is erotica. I’m not going into the BDSM stuff because I don’t know anything about that world apart from the definitions. So reading erotica vs...
