I am pleased to have finally finished this chonker of a book, and the whole saga too, after starting Twilight a year ago! all that's left to read someday in the future is Life and Death. I liked reading Breaking Dawn and getting the extra details missing in the films, but i don't necessarily like it better than watching Breaking Dawn: Part 2, it's just different since you can finish the film in 2 hours and this book takes days to read. Breaking Dawn: Part 1 on the other hand, that I could have done without watching and WAY prefer the book. so much less traumatising

thoughts while reading

blurb:

To be irrevocably in love with a vampire is both fantasy and nightmare

girl really?? what does irrevocably even mean?
irrevocably: in a way that cannot be changed, reversed, or recovered.
ok...intense much??

p14:

"We're going away to Dartmouth together in the fall, Charlie," Edward reminded him. "I'd like to do that, well, the right way. It's how I was raised." He shrugged.
He wasn't exaggerating; they'd been big on old-fashioned morals during World War I.
Charlie's mouth twisted to the side. Looking for an angle to argue from. But what could he say? I'd prefer you to live in sin first? He was a dad; his hands were tied.

p38: i think girlie needs to get over her inferiority complex a bit
p89: i mean to be fair i probably wouldn't wanna sleep with someone anytime in the near future if i'd bruised them that much either

p169: gosh the names jacob calls vampires really are abundantly more hilarious in the book than the films! for example:

He nodded and held out his stone cold hand.
Swallowing my disgust, I reached out to take his hand. My fingers closed around the rock, and I shook it once."

p170: and the titles in jacob's section! my personal favourite so far; Why Didn't I Just Walk Away? Oh Right, Because I'm An Idiot
p269: honestly putting jacob's food in a dog bowl is snarky but kinda iconic
p302: favourite chapter titles, pt 2: What Do I Look Like? The Wizard of Oz? You Need A Brain? You Need A Heart? Go Ahead. Take Mine. Take Everything I Have.
p428: oh gosh,

renesmee's irritation with bella pouncing on jacob

is just hilarious! girlie pop is so much cuter than she is in the film

p567: fourth wall moment

Of course, Jacob got more surly with each new addition. He kept his distance when he could, and when he couldn't he grumbled to
Renesmee
that someone was going to have to provide an index if anyone expected him to keep all the new bloodsuckers' names straight.*

AND SHE DID AND I'VE BEEN USING IT EVERY COUPLE OF MINUTES FOR THE LAST 37 PAGES AND WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS FOURTH WALL JOKE

p671: YOU DID NOT JUST CALL HIM THAT

Really great ending. I’d say this is the less graphic version because the fight scene isn’t depicted in this version. Loved hearing from Jacob, despite that part of the book being a little boring in my opinion. Also love the bond Renesme and Jacob have, it’s sweet. I also enjoyed reading from Bella’s perspective when she becomes a vampire and how her experience is so much different than when she was human. Chapters are pretty long, which is normal for the Twilight Saga, but overall a great book!

-I loved this book in the serious i never read the books before this was my first time but I've watched the movie just about a thousand + times and that ending i was not expecting instead of leaving something out of the movie like they normally did they added a crazy ending to the movie that wasn't in the book overall i loved it thought it was such a good story i wish they did a epilogue in this book but they didn’t 🥹 I don’t wanna say to much that might spoil the book so I'm just gonna keep it at that eEdward and Bella and even Jacob have allot of growth in this book more than the other ones overall i rate this book a five star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-
