New Moon doesn’t have what makes Twilight a fun read: an atmosphere. Whereas lush forest descriptions make Twilight “a vibe,” New Moon has none of it. It mainly raises a lot of mental health issues, without addressing them properly at all. It is emotional not because it deals with these issues properly, but because your heart constantly breaks for Bella.
But also you can’t help but be mad at her at times because she’s an adult in this book, and almost never acts like one. It’s also creepy that she as an adult allows Jacob as a minor to act on his crush on her. Which is ‘funny,’ considering Edward does pretty much the same to Bella.
And there’s the main problem: just how toxic the Cullens are. I cannot deal with the emotional manipulation.
I also hate how the Quileute boys are literally made into wild beasts incapable of controlling their rage, to the point they physically hurt their significant others. Funny, because that’s also Edward.
