Why Plenty? Fifty Shades & A Mother’s Request

by Kelly Lavender | Nov 28, 2022 | General Blog

Two events led to the creation of Plenty, my second Suspense novel.  First – the success of Fifty Shades of Grey. Feminist fury lit the fire. As Rich Lowry of the New York Post wrote: “…“Fifty Shades” is a version of the age-old Boy Meets Girl story, except the Boy is a dangerous creep…” https://nypost.com/2015/02/16/50-shades-an-anti-feminist-juggernaut/ I had to call out this trilogy for what it represents: sugarcoated sadism. A young virgin for a rich sadist love story with a Happily Ever Ending. Yuck! Really?
