I still don't know what to think... Firstly, I love a good romance, and secondly - I used to be a huge fan of Stephanie (and still am, I just haven't read her for a while). Now, despite loving the story and the ability to see it from a different perspective, I grew kind of annoyed at how 'unique' Bella was depicted. I get that Edward, really believed so and that he was completely biased, but still, I felt like her character lacked depth. It was almost as if most people (and girls) were all the same, while she was pure, selfless, completely different, absolutely unique!!!
To me, it also looked like Edward fell in love with her just because she was so different, which is not the best message to send. There's nothing wrong with being typical and like other people, let's embrace it.

So, even though I enjoyed reading Midnight Sun, Bella's character seemed cliché, Wattpad-like. But after all, it is probably where Wattpad took inspiration from :)

I’ve read this book before but this time I listened to the audiobook version and it was so much better than I remembered! Makes me want to listen to the whole series and experience the whole story again.

This man needed a therapist and maybe an open minded priest, definitely not a girlfriend

2 stars purely for the nostalgia.
This book is awful. The characters are horrendous (Jessica got torn to shreds in this book poor girl). Edward is creepy. The "she's not like other girls" rhetoric is tired. Yet the 12 year old inside me loved every second of it. Couldn't say I'd recommend but I stand by the fact that there will never be a greater meme mine than the Twilight series.
