I reread this for the first time as an adult, having only read it one other time as a 12 year old. It was fun rereading it as an adult, and doing it as a buddy read as well, but yikes this book is problematic. Red flags everywhere, Bella is so unlikable and annoying, and the writing can be so over-descriptive that it honestly takes you out of the story. As a reread/buddy read, it was enjoyable, but I think we can all agree that Twilight is definitely nothing to write home about.

18 year old me loved everything about Twilight. Apart from ‘The Vampire Diaries’, there wasn’t much else related to vampire's in the young adult genre.
The premise of the book was so appealing to young girls, that the fandom alone made the release of each book in the series more exciting.
I remember falling in love with Edward and the idea of him immediately. He was a tortured soul, doomed to walk the earth alone for centuries, until he met Bella.

It’s been criticised over the years for poor writing quality, but ‘Stephanie Mayer’ never tried to insinuate it was a sophisticated, complex book. For what ‘Twilight’ is (a teen romance book) it’s Perfectly good & has certainly maintained its popularity as a coming of age story.

im actually soooooooo normal about twilight
ok so confession - i have never read twilight before. or seen the movies.
until 2024.
FUCK THAT WAS GOOD???
now i will say. yes the book is cringe at points. like when edward literally eats bella's tears.
and also meyer is um. Odd! like calling jacob "indian"....... Erm!
but i did in fact gobble this book up so. i think im at fault here.
i don't know why i was so addicted to this book but i swear to god its laced with crack.
ummmm i actually cant put how i feel into words.
the ending ate, the story ate, the characters ate (shout out alice u remind me i like women), the pacing, everything (minus the cutesy-cringe moments & the microaggressions....)
i hate you alastair because im an addict. i need my next twilight fix.

I feel like I might just be giving this book a 4 stars because I love the twilight series. But once you get passed the beginning and the Wattpad vibe I personally think it's a really good book and I love the twilight series.
