Earlier this year, a few friends {& blogs} recommended
the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy and I will admit, I couldn’t put them down. Now for those who know even a little about
these books know they aren’t very appropriate, but while reading, I found
myself skimming over those provocative parts and focusing on the character
relationships more than the actions going on.
So when the BlogHer Book Club announced their next book, Diary of aSubmissive by Sophie Morgan, as a “real Fifty Shades of Grey”, I thought I'd give it chance.
If I thought I blushed a bit during Fifty Shades of Grey,
then I must have been a permanent shade of red through Diary of a Submissive. It’s not that I didn’t know what I was getting
myself into, but the difference between Diary of a Submissive and Fifty Shades
of Grey was most definitely the “real” portrayal of this alternate lifestyle. Where I enjoyed reading about the development
of the characters in Fifty Shades of Grey, I found that the real-life account
in Diary of a Submissive was less of a fairy tale, which was hard to read at
times, to be honest.
To read more about Diary of a Submissive, check out BlogHer’s Book Club page. I’m interested to see
what the discussions for this book will end up like.
While I was
compensated for this BlogHer Book Club review, all opinions expressed above are
my own.
