In all seriousness though, most of this book was cringey and a bit of a drag on the second readthrough. The ending was still pretty good though. (Also, I definitely like Jacob's character in this book and early on in New Moon much more than him later on in the series.)
Original Review (from 2022):
I finished this book back in February when we had a bad snowstorm in our area (my workplace was closed, so I got a few long afternoons to read). As a result, I think it's always going to feel like a winter read to me. 🤣 Never read it during the original craze, and reading it inspired my dabbling in other popular YA series I've missed out on over the years (such as the Lunar Chronicles).
I enjoyed Twilight more than I like to admit, and was therefore excited to read New Moon. 4 Stars! ****

Meyer has a beautiful writing still, it just didn't really fit for me with the whole 'teen-angst' theme

This is my Mom's all-time favorite series. I grew up on the movies before I could read the books for myself. Side note: we used to listen to the soundtrack to clean on Saturdays, repeated for hours. She is obsessed. (I love her for it)
20 years later and here I am giving her favorite book 5 stars. I loved every second of this book.
As a Christian, I don't read smut. *spoiler sentence* I really appreciate this series commitment to clean romance until the last book (I will be skipping wierd parts).
That said, one of my favorite all time tropes is vampires (Admittedly, I think its because of growing up on the Twilight movies).
Clean romance, Fluff, found family, vampires, superpowers
Yes, the book was better❤️
Ps. The audiobook narrator for Twilight is amazing! She put her all into it, especially all the sweet and action-packed parts~
Yes, I am immediately starting Midnight Sun! (Ik its the retelling not the sequel ssh😉🎉)

Obviously this is not groundbreaking, serious literature, but I had fun revisiting it and I didn't want to remove my eyes by the end, so I'm counting that as a win.
