We all know that these book series are very problematic. From toxic relationships to cultural appropriation, you have a lot to pick from. But listen, even tho I tried to ignore all that and focus on the writing, the characters and the plot, this was u n r e a d a b l e. The writing felt like this book was the mother of all the bad wattpad novels, while the plot just wasn't there. All the characters were flat with the worst being Bella, who must be the most pathetic main character I have ever had the misfortune to encounter.
I'll end this with the maybe a controversial take:
The movie was better ✌🏻.

Look, hate on Twilight all you want, but it remains my comfort series and I really enjoy rereading these books. The writing...leaves a lot to be desired - BUT, I honestly could not do any better so I'm not in any place to judge. I'll let actual writers critique that. Do I think young girls should be reading this and thinking that Edward and Bella's romance is healthy and desirable? Absolutely not. However, I see no harm in reading them as a young adult who knows better. A seratonin rush is a seratonin rush and my "Twilight phase" will never be over.
