♡ MY REVIEW:

The positives: I’m tired so you’re gonna get bullet points–

OKAY, OKAY HERE ME OUT…this book (and all the others) inspired the movies, right?
I love this movie b/c the score and soundtrack is my favorite of any film I’ve ever watched hands down, right?
SO AND THEREFORE, if there were no movie? Oh yeah this would def get a 1-2-star rating lol BUT that’s not the case...so automatically it’s a 5. YUP, that’s my girl math!

-Love Charlie, he’s my sweet baby angelllll! I wish he were my dad and justice for him!
-Love very last quarter of this book b/c Edward was back and there was less Jacob and mundane descriptive BORING writing
-Love that this book (and all the others) inspired the movie. I love this movie b/c the score and soundtrack is my favorite of any film I’ve ever watched.


The negatives: I’m tired so you’re gonna get bullet points–
-F Jacob for being….Jacob aka annoying, childish and not taking no for an answer
-F Bella for using Jacob when Edward wasn’t around and abusing Charlie’s niceness. Charlie is innocent, leave that man alone!
-F Edward for leaving in the first place and being dramatic
-F this book b/c how dare you put me in a month and 14-day reading slump?!?! Who do you think you are?
-F this pacing of this book. This felt like it was painfully moving in slow motion. I’d say the film is WAY better than the book. I had to fight tooth and nail to get through the mundane actions of everyday life of Bella. It was so boring and the absence of Edward was sooooo LOUD in comparison to the film. For that reason, this book would've gotten (normally) a 1-2 star rating for that reason, but for Twi-hard reason...

Bella and Edward face a devastating separation, the mysterious appearance of dangerous wolves roaming the forest in Forks, a terrifying threat of revenge from a female vampire and a deliciously sinister encounter with Italy's reigning royal family of vampires, the Volturi. This is my favorite book in the series. The expanding of the world, and Bella’s characterization in Edward’s absence, along with the introduction of new supernatural creatures. The initial break-up and the time jump devastated me when I was reading this in elementary school. Looking back on it, I wish that Bella’s character grew stronger from the events of this book instead of remaining weak

Still hate Bella, but the scenario is relatable, so it did make me tear up.

Bella is just a toxic person and after reading the second book, it makes me hate her. She's dull and clingy. I'm reading the series just to say I've read them because I've only seen the movies.
