This book is about a girl named Bella Swan, Bella has just moved to Forks, Washington and came from Phoenix, Arizona. While she is living in Forks meets some friends including Edward a highly attractive vampire. Bella then a while later falls in love with him. This book i specifically like that it is a fantasy romance. Something I dislike about this book is nothing. This book is overall one of my favorite books of all times. My favorite character is Alice Edward's vampire sister. A character that I rather dislike is Rosalie another one of Edward's vampire sisters. I dislike Rosalie is because she is so stuck up.

I reread this for the first time as an adult, having only read it one other time as a 12 year old. It was fun rereading it as an adult, and doing it as a buddy read as well, but yikes this book is problematic. Red flags everywhere, Bella is so unlikable and annoying, and the writing can be so over-descriptive that it honestly takes you out of the story. As a reread/buddy read, it was enjoyable, but I think we can all agree that Twilight is definitely nothing to write home about.

As someone who grew up watching the movies but never read the books, I can now officially recommend. I really enjoyed the way the characters interacted with each other. Bella and Edward’s banter in the first half of the book was quite amusing, and Alice and Jasper are both incredibly charming characters. There was definitely some cheesy scenes, and some where Edward was just a little weird, but I’m excited to read the rest of the series.
