I reread this for the first time as an adult, having only read it one other time as a 12 year old. It was fun rereading it as an adult, and doing it as a buddy read as well, but yikes this book is problematic. Red flags everywhere, Bella is so unlikable and annoying, and the writing can be so over-descriptive that it honestly takes you out of the story. As a reread/buddy read, it was enjoyable, but I think we can all agree that Twilight is definitely nothing to write home about.

As someone who grew up watching the movies but never read the books, I can now officially recommend. I really enjoyed the way the characters interacted with each other. Bella and Edward’s banter in the first half of the book was quite amusing, and Alice and Jasper are both incredibly charming characters. There was definitely some cheesy scenes, and some where Edward was just a little weird, but I’m excited to read the rest of the series.

Faz o filme parecer legalzinho 
Nota 1/5= patético 
Leitura= 02/2020 
Eu não era fã dos filmes, mas como sempre dizem “o livro é melhor” e eu resolvi dar uma chance. Foi um grande arrependimento: história chatíssima e arrastada, me recuso a falar sobre o “romance” e mal tive forças para terminar esse livro, que dirá continuar a saga. 
Lembrei também que divulgaram na época muita coisa problemática sobre a saga e sobre a autora (principalmente racismo e apropriação cultural) que acho importante mencionar. 
Não se deixem enganar por popularidade e reboots, e evitem dar palco para esse tipo de pessoa por memória afetiva. Resumindo odiar crepúsculo não é 2010, é inevitável.

im actually soooooooo normal about twilight
ok so confession - i have never read twilight before. or seen the movies.
until 2024.
FUCK THAT WAS GOOD???
now i will say. yes the book is cringe at points. like when edward literally eats bella's tears.
and also meyer is um. Odd! like calling jacob "indian"....... Erm!
but i did in fact gobble this book up so. i think im at fault here.
i don't know why i was so addicted to this book but i swear to god its laced with crack.
ummmm i actually cant put how i feel into words.
the ending ate, the story ate, the characters ate (shout out alice u remind me i like women), the pacing, everything (minus the cutesy-cringe moments & the microaggressions....)
i hate you alastair because im an addict. i need my next twilight fix.

I feel like I might just be giving this book a 4 stars because I love the twilight series. But once you get passed the beginning and the Wattpad vibe I personally think it's a really good book and I love the twilight series.
