We are continuing in our First in a Series theme with Keri's selection—Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James and its 2015 movie adaptation starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. Keri takes us through how this spicy, controversial romance novel started as a Twilight fan-fiction (her favorite) and proceeded to take the world by storm. We talk book ratings (a reread for some and first-time read for one of us), movie casting, and breakdown how the book compares to the movie.
Hosted by Keri with co-hosts Lindsey and Crystal.
