Revived my vocabulary

I feel the narrator did a fairly good job distinguishing one voice from another however it was somewhat difficult to keep them straight in some parts.
This story has more depth for an erotica story then others I've read.
I don't have a lot of time to read. With audible I am able to get the benefits of reading without dedicating the time. I can do my commute, classwork, g cowry shop all while still hearing the book!

Read the book

I'm sure the movie doesn't give it justice but
I haven't seen the movie yet. I'd would recommend one or the other.

I read it while I drive to and from my campus. Great way to experience a book.

The endings of these books are such cliff hangers! I'm about to purchase the third now
