This book was super slow and I had a really hard time getting through it. The writing style just didn't make it easy to read. The romance is cute, but kinda basic. Honestly, it was almost predictable. The last few chapters were the best part because they had a little action, but it took me way to long to get there.

Amazing conclusion to the Twilight Saga. It was one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. Make sure to read the other three Twilight books first or this one will make no sense.
Bella and Edward have a kid, call her Renesmee and Jacob imprints on her. Also, Emmett arm wrestles newborn Bella Cullen and she wins.

I read this in two days just in my attempt to finally be free from the fresh hell that is my idea of re-reading this series.

This is somehow the best, and the worst book of all of them-- by not by a lot.

Spoilers Ahead
It's obviously S. Meyer's weird anti-abortion manifesto, Bella makes it painfully clear when she, 18 and pregnant, will not give up the baby that is literally a parasite growing rapidly and actively killing her while she drinks blood out of a 7-11 cup as prescribed by a board-certified(?) doctor. 

This triggered constant eye-rolling every time she was described as weak but in the same breath, readers were made aware of how badly she wanted to keep Jakeward or whatever the male baby name idea was. Speaking of Jacob, his entire 'book' portion was so whiny and annoying and absolutely a displeasure to read.

The only mildly entertaining part of this book was the shady lawyer or whatever who was absolutely terrified of Mr. Jasper (can you blame him)? The Volturi scene was so long and drawn out for literally no reason. 

Midnight Sun is still on my radar, but not for a very, very long time.

I have so many thoughts. But mainly I just want to know - what the actual fuck was that.

700+ pages of unlikable characters doing nothing of interest until a climax is being built up, which never ends up happening. Nothing is resolved by the end. Main villains get away scot-free. Main characters are still godawful. What did you expect, it's a <i>Twilight</i> book.
