The book has a constant prevailing feeling of internalised misogyny related to gender roles There is throughout a racist depiction of a very real Native American tribe, with near all real world mythology and religion replaced with the authors ramblings

I got the Twilight Saga complete collection of books for my birthday last year. I remember watching the movies when I was younger and I was so entertained by it all. There are definitely many details that aren't featured in the movie, but it was great to get those extra details! I cannot wait to continue reading these and comparing how many things aren't added in the movies. As cringey as some of the writing could be, it was so nostalgic I loved it so much. Page after page I could picture everything that was happening. What a time honestly, you just had to be there. I was a little young to be watching some of those movies, but I am glad to be able to say I was there in the theater for some of them!

I never read Twilight as a teenager, but even after watching all the movies, I was still engrossed in the book! I honestly had so much fun and was surprised by how the movie is nearly 100% true to the book. Yes, Stephanie Meyer’s writing is very simple, but I liked it because I could focus on the content. I’m fascinated by the backstories of all the characters (especially Alice <3). Edward and Bella have a pure love that is endearing

I think this is my longest review to date. 
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😉🎉)
