Notes:

- Ana and Bella both use the nickname Mrs. Robinson for Elena Lincoln/Irina Lincoln, respectively.
MotU vs. Fifty Shades: Events
The plots of both MotU and Fifty Shades are largely the same, and only differ on minor points.
During Fifty Shades of Grey
- The backstory between Jacob/Bella in MotU was changed in the shift to Fifty Shades. In MotU, Jacob and Bella have been friends since childhood; in Fifty Shades, Ana and José met as students at university.
- In MotU, Jacob's mother was deceased. In Fifty Shades, José's mother was alive, but never appeared in the narrative.
- During Christian's/Edward's birthday party, Mia/Alice approaches Ana/Bella for advice about Ethan/Jasper.
- In Fifty Shades, Mia and Ethan are interested in one another, but Ethan doesn't want to date her because their siblings are together.
- In MotU, Jasper and Alice "get together", but the conflict is that he won't sleep with her because she is a virgin, and he doesn't want to rush into sex.
- Christian/Edward goes to visit Ana/Bella while she works at Clayton's/Newton's.
- In MotU:
- Newton's is an outdoor store.
- Bella helps Edward select a hiking map of the area.
- He asks her what she would recommend for hiking; she suggests non-denim pants, because jeans will chafe if wet and he'll lose body heat.
- Edward spends $53 on his purchases.
- In Fifty Shades:
- Clayton's is a hardware store
- Ana helps Christian find cable ties, rope, and masking tape.
- He asks her what she would recommend for a DIY-er, and she suggests coveralls so that he doesn't ruin his clothes with paint.
- Christian spends $43 on his purchases.
- In MotU:
During the Fifty Shades Freed Epilogue
- Taylor and Mrs. Jones are not married in the epilogue of MotU
- Bella was in labor a whopping 36 hours, compared to Ana's 15 hours of labor
- Sophie was 12 in MotU's epilogue, but 10 in the Fifty Shades's epilogue
MotU vs. Twilight
- Several characters in MotU have first or last names matching characters in Twilight.
- Lauren Elliot (MotU) <--> Lauren Mallory (Twilight)
- Gail Cope (MotU) <--> Shelley Cope (Twilight)
- Several MotU characters share first names with Twilight characters that did not have last names (e.g. Irina, James, Victoria, etc.)
- The personality of Kate/Rosalie is a composite of Twilight's Rosalie Hale (beauty) and Jessica Stanley (tenacity, habit of "interrogating").
