Was this totally unnecessary? Like, yeah, probably. But I enjoyed it so much. It’s worth it, just to see Edward’s POV, especially in regard to how he interacts with his family and the extent of what his powers can do. That car chase scene? Epic. If they do make the TV show (I hope they don’t), then they totally need to draw from MIDNIGHT SUN. I’d only recommend this if you’re already a huge TWILIGHT fan.

I made it!!!!!!
I went into this expecting nothing of Edward and he was even worse.
the only thing going for him was that he knew he's an asshole.

plus points:
- Emmett and Charlie and Rosalie are the only sane people, I love them
- Jacob is NORMAL here
- Bella has A PERSONALITY (and she is kinda cool ngl)

minus points:
- Eddie is absolutely terrible, Jesus fucking Christ
- Stephanie Meyer's purity culture upbringing is strong with this one
- I had to roll my eyes SO. MANY. TIMES.

all in all: I am so glad that I'm done. this was exhausting.

also: this fucking book has almost 900 pages. AND IT ONLY COVERS THE FIRST BOOK. HOW. I was so disappointed when I found out. I thought I could read the whole series from Eddie's perspective. I was ROBBED.

idk what to rate this. It has been somewhat entertaining, but it's also so bad. I guess I'm also a bit sentimental, because I did like the original series (I am aware they're also bad, but when I was 14 I liked it. sue me) so we're going with 2.5?

This book is great for a laugh, if you read it with the right attitude (that attitude being making fun of hundred year old loser edward cullen). This is truly psychopathic shit. Not only do we get a detailed recap of all the psychopathic behavior from the original books, we also get insight into Edward’s misogynistic and murderous thoughts. Like bro spent half of his time planning murders and the other half barely restraining himself from committing them. Also this book just solidified for me the fact that edward would’ve never fallen for Bella if he could hear her thoughts. Her internal monologue is everything he despises about anyone else’s thoughts. I also feel like it can’t be stressed enough that he literally stalks her!!!!! He breaks into her room while she’s sleeping and justifies it by killing a spider??? my guy get it together. And while we’re here, i just want to say that i have a hate-based parasocial relationship with stephenie meyer for how dirty she did rosalie. i will never forgive the misogyny that rosalie has been built around. when she could’ve been such an incredible character!!! this book is unhinged in the worst way imaginable. (emmett sweetheart this has nothing to do with you, you’re lovely)
