Reread.
Sadly, this time I noticed how cringe the book actually is, but 25% in didn’t notice it anymore. I still like Edward even though I knew that the age difference is weird but you know who cares, it’s a book and it’s a product of its time. Bella really had to be not like other girls but also self deprecating

I feel like there isn't even a need to write a review, because who doesn't know Twilight by now.
Like many, I have a complicated relationship with the Twilight saga. It is so bad but so good.
It is a terrible book, but it's unintentionally so unhinged and funny. 
It also really puts me in the mood for fall! Especially when having the movie soundtrack play in the background while reading. 
When I read it for the first time when the books first came out I read Twilight in Dutch.
This was my first read through in English and I have to say I was surprised to find out that Stephenie Meyer isn't a bad writer! The writing style is easy and enjoyable to read in my opinion. However, I will forever be convinced Stephanie was meant to be a thriller/horror author who for some reason stumbled into the romance genre. 

All and all, I had fun rereading Twilight and will be rereading the rest of the series.
When the book first came out I read a bit of midnight sun. I was told it justifies a lot of Edwards actions when you read the story from his perspective. It did not. It made it worse. I love this dumpster fire of a book series. 

Read at your own risk. You will never be the same.

Ps: Alice is and always will be the BEST character

i forgot how cheesy this book is. i definitely enjoyed the nostalgic part of rereading this for the first time since middle school, and i will probably finish the rest of the series while i am at it. however, i also remember this being better from the last time i read it. 

the romance aspect is exceptionally cheesy and pretty toxic.
2 teenagers falling in love with each other after 1 kiss and both of them being pined after by every girl and guy and school was very cringey and eye roll inducing. bella being creeped on by every guy under the sun was also ridiculous. shout out to alice for being the best character ever
