I totally get this. It’s not common that I like “popular fiction.” The style it ends up being, the story it’s telling, it’s usually not something I like. Plus, I’m a mood reader, for the most part, and my mood is usually something dark and broody or campy. I don’t do the domestic stuff. It usually doesn’t interest me. And when someone’s like I loved Fifty Shades, I usually smile and nod and I’m like well, if you liked that, then you’ll want to try these . . . And list off some books that I actually liked that may lead them down a better written path. Or if they really want some dark stuff, I have that too. 😁
I've not read or watched 50 shades but I totally relate to the conversation you had with your friend! A couple of my friends liked it too *sigh* 🤣
