I stumbled upon GE Griffin's blog and LOVED the interpretation of 50 Shades of Grey from Christian's point of view. Griffin's ability to re-tell the story was absolutely PHENOMENAL.  When I found out this author had written an original novel and that it was available on Amazon I purchased it immediately.I know writing a novel, making characters come to life in a story and coming up with a plot is a lot harder than it appears. Therefore, I don't like to be critical.  However, I would be remiss in this instance with a first time author if I did not provide feedback and express my opinion in the hope that any critique will be helpful and would not be misconstrued as anything else.The storyline started off plausible and the characters interesting. Then it became hard to imagine that the author expected the reader to believe a very astute, intelligent young woman didn't know whether or not she was a lesbian. She goes to a nightclub, along with her male boss whom she is very sexually attracted to, and who happens to be her roommate's,[the same roommate who wants to also be her boyfriend] brother, to see if she would be sexually attracted to any of the women there to determine if she was gay. What? The characters morph and the storyline at times unravels into even more unbelievable situations and at other times it was as if I were reading 50 shades of Grey due to the similarities of the dialogue between the characters.Griffin's blog proves this author is very talented and writes well. I won't be purchasing the remainder of the Starr Fated series though, but will continue to be a fan.  I look forward to purchasing any new novels in other series written by this talented author in the future.
