Your eyes do not deceive you, this is the Fifty Shades of Grey Party Game. On sale in Waterstones.
I picked it up to start to read the blurb but felt so soiled and shabby I had to put it down again quick sharp.
I know I don’t go to many parties these days, but I can’t imagine one where it was ever a good idea to get this out. Trivial pursuit – played with pretend irony not really masking the raw competitiveness – maybe, but this, no way.
Surely the point of Fifty Shades is to inject a little oomph into things (a deux in the bedroom) via the medium of sneaky smut on an e-reader. If your think your party needs this to get it going then maybe you need to re-think the guest list. If, on the other hand, your parties, ahem, go with a swing already, then unveiling this will bring things to a shuddering halt. Either way, it’s a terrible idea.

I put it down pretty quickly and was v sneaky about the photo.
Erica Price says
Yuck! Thought the first book was very repetitive and badly written, so haven't bothered with it. Would be leaving if I went to a party and someone brought that out.
Nickie O'Hara says
Oh lordy! Can you IMAGINE if someone brought that out at a party? I'm no prude but…
Ellen Arnison says
Can you imagine?
Ellen Arnison says
Indeed, but I'd like to think if I was at 'that' kind of party, people wouldn't need this game for inspiration!
MummyNeverSleeps says
NOOOOO! Tragic! Does it come with a complimentary riding crop??
SusanKMann says
Really? Not the type of party I'd be wanting to go to x
