Only my buddy reader’s advice who was one step ahead of me, seemed to slow and calm me down, make me savour this read more. He does repeat himself a tad but I really think he’s trying to convince himself that his with relationship Anastasia, for want of a better word, could work. P/S: Flipped to the last page and found out that this book only covers the first book in the trilogy. In Christian's own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and dreams, E L James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the world.

BUT, go into it knowing that this is the same story just with some added insights into Christian's past and what his thoughts were during his month with Ana.

Audible wants to give you the most complete selection we can and we'll keep adding series and filling in gaps as quickly as possible.After watching it myself on the day it was released, I can understand why – Jamie Dornan is not Christian Grey.
