BIG LOL @ THIS BOOK

I'm doing a summer reading bingo for fun at my work, and one of the squares is "read something outside of your regular genre." So, I figured I'd go big and attempt to read 50 Shades of Grey because it's the furthest thing from my usual genres. Mostly I read fantasy, sci-fi, young adult, and oh, I don't know, books that have healthy relationships... you get the picture.

I got about 125 pages in and honestly couldn't read any more. My stomach actually turned while reading a chapter during breakfast this morning, so that was a big mistake on my part. Between Ana's monologues about her "inner goddess" doing whatever kind of dance- a tango, a salsa, or imitating a washing machine (yes that actual metaphor was used), her "somnambulant self-consciousness" with an extremely awkward explanation of where the medulla oblongata is, reading the phrase "biting her lip" no less than 30 times in the first 100 pages, and the cherry on top of this awful sundae: the BDSM "contract" that Grey has Ana sign for their """"consensual"""" relationship.

I knew this book was bad but I didn't know it was this bad.
