This book put me in a reading slump, which isn't a good thing regardless but especially wasn't a great thing considering I just read another book that also put me in a slump.
I actually really liked the first Twilight book because even though it was cheesy and everything, it was still entertaining and there felt like there was actual conflict and I am Team Edward so I liked seeing their relationship develop (if you could call it that because there is absolutely no character development at all in the Twilight). This book just felt like 400+ pages of Bella being like "Edward doesn't love me so I have no purpose, guess I'll die." Stephanie Meyer could have cut maybe 100 pages of this repetition dialogue and the book probably would have been a high 3.5 stars from me. Even in the end with the climax, the stakes never felt that high for some reason.

This was almost as good as the first! Sure it was sort of soap-operaish, but it was fun to read and that's what really counts!

I'm gonna give this 4 stars because despite it being so damn problematic and just not being or even comparing to other books I've given 4 stars to. This got me through my depression, this gave me something to look forward to and that's why I love reading so much. Can't wait for the next one to be available in my libraryðŸ˜
ALSO, I LOVE JACOB SO MUCHðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
