I was a Jacob girlie when I originally read the books, and I certainly stand by that after reading these (except the whole Jacob imprinting on her daughter, or whatever it’s called, I’m choosing to pretend that’s not a thing

It's enjoyable for people who are already fans of the Twilight Saga, but a large undertaking for those used to the original pace of the books. There is a lull in the middle to the point I put the book down and did not pick it up again for a year. I am very glad I picked it back up though.

This book is unhinged. I loved it. Must read for anyone who even kinda enjoyed Twilight. This man needs therapy.
Tenía este libro comprado desde su lanzamiento, pero hasta ahora, no había pensado en leerlo.
Si bien es de fácil lectura (al fin y al cabo, la historia no es nueva; se trata de la trama de Crepúsculo, el primer libro de la saga, narrada desde el punto de vista de Edward Cullen), se me ha hecho bastante pesado en ciertos momentos, ya que el protagonista se pasa el libro dándole vueltas a los mismos pensamientos repetitivos una y otra vez.
Por otro lado, Edward en sí es una red flag andante, aunque eso ya lo sabíamos.

Read for Twihard nostalgia.
The first 3/4 of the book mainly consisted of Edward calling himself a monster that no one could ever love, which did make me want to slap his rock solid vampire face. The last quarter picked up with the introduction of James and the hunt, and I fell back into the passion I felt reading these books as a tween.
Bella comes off spectacularly, Edward needs to go to therapy.

When I read Twilight, I thought I was a heterosexual girl who wanted to live in a gothic mansion with her best friends and ride around on motorcycles a la the Underworld franchise and who wore a shitty t-shirt from DEB that read "Got Blood?" and who definitely, definitely was Team Edward. Now I'm a lesbian historian just trying to have a silly little time and who honestly likes long haired Jacob most because that's the closest we get to butch identity and anyways, let me tell you -- this was a silly little time. Not so little, really, because Edward will be running in mental circles of anguish 24/7. Eddy, buddy-- why your brain do so much and yet so little? You're just a guy. Just the most absolutely emo-coded man the world has ever known. Absolutely just a mess in that brain of yours-- which makes sense, because he is trapped at 17 forever (thanks Metro Station). I loved the first 3/4s because it was just a bonkers ride of Edward being the weeniest weenie in the world and Bella being the most regular degular girl (which is fine and good!!! girls will be regular and they deserve love!!!) to ever brave the Pacific Northwest & men with wild communication styles.
Easily the best part was Edward meticulously picking out his outfit for the Meadow Scene and knowing Bella absolutely wrecked her room debating her own ensemble and took the time to blow dry her Ultra Thick hair and knowing she is absolutely Big Clumsy and not at all coordinated and then taking her to some woods and being like, it's a short hike just five miles we won't even take the trail and not understanding that that is a BONKERS ask of this uncoordinated weenie woman who just got all snazzy for his big glittering reveal, and him like not even thinking to pack like .... water for her?? Or warning her to wear appropriate hiking footwear in this land that is definitely gonna be muddy because of all the, you know, rain?? And also, we all know he would lose his shit with how winded the hike would likely make her. And yet, he is shocked and assumes that she regrets joining him because of what terrible big bad thing he is, and not the fact that he was just thoughtless and condemned her to my own personal horror: impromptu hiking without water or appropriate shoe wear or even just like, a heads up. That's honestly Edward's biggest red flag: he thinks that taking this girl for a casual trailless 5 mile hike without warning is just like........ fine. Sure. That's nightmare fuel, babey.
