Edward Cullen I hate being in your head but I'd be a liar if I said this stupid book didn't take me on a roller coaster ride. I laughed, I screamed, I wished and prayed for your spontaneous combustion despite knowing it was a futile hope. This book is a MUST for anyone who read the original series. Sure, it might make you hate The Cullens more, or hate Edward more, or, well... hate any of the characters more (except Jacob—that's one character that was spared; so three cheers for you baby Jake fans) but you'll come out the other side a changed person. Definitely a darker read than Twilight or any of the follow-up books in the series, but trust me, you'll still laugh at the amount of lampshading and retconning Stephenie Meyer does. It's worth it alone to read

the car chase scene

so I'd say read it if just to read the chapter titled 'Race'. You can thank me later.

 ✨3/5✨
Giving this book a three stars because honestly, at least Edward was self-aware about what he was doing. Going into this book right after going into Bella's certainly took its time, but when I finished it I was more invested in the background of the side characters than Eddie boi's "Woe is me, I'm a vampire in love with a human and I could hurt her any second of any day" attitude.

It's a very good book. It gives you a little more insight into Edwards thoughts and feelings toward Bella. 
The plot is (obviously) very similar to Twilight which takes away some of the suspense.

Overall, I had mixed feelings of this book. It was definitely interesting to see Edward’s perspective and to be able to get more insight into the other character’s perspectives since he can read their minds. I do think that there were quite a few areas that dragged on way too long, especially Edward’s mixed feelings toward Bella. I think if you go into the book, not taking it too seriously, it’s enjoyable and almost nostalgic if you grew up with Twilight.
