I have always loved the Twilight movie, so I thought it was time to read the book, and I enjoyed it even more than the film! If someone made a 12-hour long adaptation that included every single detail from the novel, I would absolutely watch it. The tension as Bella and Edward get to know each other is enthralling, and their relationship by the end was flooding my heart with adoration for them and enthusiasm for their potential as a couple. Admittedly, I was disappointed by how relatively moody book-Edward was compared to his onscreen counterpart. It was challenging to witness his interactions with Bella while he was in a poor mood because, in my opinion, he could come off as condescending toward her. Also, the stalking was obviously not okay! However, Edward did seem to become kinder and more earnest in the final chapters. Further, I wish book-Bella would have exhibited more self-confidence throughout the story. Thus, I was very glad when, by the conclusion of the novel, she had enough self esteem to hold her ground and express her feelings when conversing with Edward. Yet, given their ages and the circumstances of their relationship, I can believe that those problems are fixable as the characters mature and build a stronger bond. Overall, I am thrilled that I finally read the Twilight book!

I've heard a lot of negative things regarding this book/series online, however I must say that it surpassed my expectations. Maybe I'm just into romance books, but this book got me into reading, frankly enough. I guess it can be a bit cheesy at times, but I personally liked that. I genuinely could NOT stop reading at times, going from not reading a single book to reading this in a mere week - Which is crazy! I definetely recommend this.

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.
