Abusive, toxic behavior. Pathetic main protagonist who has no self-esteem. She doesn’t think she’s good enough for Edward. She falls apart the second he leaves. She is still in love with him after he returns. She needs to raise her standards.

Whew! I finished it! Now on to the next one...
New Moon wasn't quite as good as Twilight, largely because I got irritated with Bella for ever believing Edward didn't love her and for not figuring out MUCH sooner what was going on with Jacob. So really--3 1/2 stars. But it was still an engrossing, fast-paced, couldn't-put-it-down read. Obviously the second in a series, since the end of the book left so many things unfinished.
I think my most favorite part of the novel was the way Stephenie Meyer showed the passage of time in the months after the Cullens left. I really felt and understood Bella's pain, even as I disagreed with her logic and actions.
Bring on Eclipse!
