I wasn't going to read it because I've heard the writing is bad, not because I'm afraid of the content. But now that I've seen several reviews that said "It's full of sex! And it's not even regular sex! And it's written for women!!! All together now- EWWWWWWW!" It's pissed me off so bad I just might have to read it and force myself to enjoy it.
