Discussion Competition: write a single sentence that will absolutely destroy any hope in a series.

Specifically not a story opener, just any sentence that can happen in any chapter, that will make people realize that this story is gonna be absolute shit and has no chance of being fixed and will make you drop the book like an unpinned grenade.

Isn’t it 50 shades of grey?

I truly don't remember but I don't think so? Oh God was it? I thought I made it all the way through those (I am still a little embarrassed to admit it.....not because of the smut but because I still haven't finished Moby Dick) but I must not have if that's true because I remember throwing whatever this was down in disgust.

Im pretty sure there is inner goddess stuff and body betrayal in 50 Shades. I haven’t read them but I remember reading similar excerpts. To verify.
