Decided to reread this, I read it in middle school and used to be a fan but decided to revisit. Whether you like or hate it, its such a landmark in pop culture; I never take it seriously, it’s a fun read if you just like shallow paranormal romances.

2.0

i forgot how cheesy this book is. i definitely enjoyed the nostalgic part of rereading this for the first time since middle school, and i will probably finish the rest of the series while i am at it. however, i also remember this being better from the last time i read it. 

the romance aspect is exceptionally cheesy and pretty toxic.

2 teenagers falling in love with each other after 1 kiss and both of them being pined after by every girl and guy and school was very cringey and eye roll inducing. bella being creeped on by every guy under the sun was also ridiculous. shout out to alice for being the best character ever

✨3.25/5✨
Quite honestly, this was a good book. It was written very well and the plot was indeed very interesting. However, although the characters do pique the readers' interest, there was just wayyyy too many problematic scenarios that were posited by the author. I couldn't simply dismiss them off with a wave of a hand.
