4.0

I thought about giving 3 stars to this book, but I really enjoyed all the parts between Bella and Jacob, so I'm gonna give it 4 stars just because of those parts in the middle. They felt very comforting and cozy. 

Definitely liked this one better than the first one!

2.0

I really don't have the spoons to go too far in depth about this one. It's just not great. Middle school me got in trouble for reading this in the back of Orchestra during class, but late 20's me had trouble motivating myself to even think about reading this.

There is so much gaslighting and it feels like it comes from everyone in Bella's life. There's so many things that could have been so easily solved if she and Edward could just communicate but, as always, its just a little too much to ask of these two teens.
