This book is awful. I hated every second of this read. This book added nothing to the twilight story to make it any better or interesting.

I absolutely loved the twilight books when I read them years ago so I thought I’d give this one a try. I really struggled to get through this despite my love for twilight, but that could just be because I don’t particularly like reading in first person (I also couldn’t  connect with Edward). It generally was a recount of twilight but in his perspective so no complaints there since I enjoyed twilight and it was nice to get some insight into his thoughts and compare them to Bella’s. However some moments I thought were stalkerish/creepy or I just didn’t care about what he was thinking (I wanted to know about everyone else) 😅. I also felt that the story dragged in some instances.  Overall it was a decent read although I probably wouldn’t read it again.

Honestly, this wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Edward does keep calling Bella fragile and helpless, which is questionable, and there is a lot of repetition in how much he hates himself etc. On the other hand, it's a very nostalgic read if you've read Twilight back in the day and I had a good laugh about how dramatic everything is. Not a great book, but I would recommend it if you like reading things for the cringe.
