I read the Twilight Saga during its peak in the late-2000s and early-2010s. With the Twilight renaissance that’s been happening, I thought it would be fun to go back and revisit the series.
“New Moon” used to be my favorite book in the series—I have been a Team Jacob girlie since the start. This time around, I was so incredibly sad whenEdward came back and ruined everything. Bella was starting to work through her depression and had finally decided to give Jake a chance, because she thought she could grow to love him, and what happens? That pervert’s sister bulldozes back into her life. Charlie was right to be wary about letting Bella hang with the Cullens again and frankly I wish he’d pushed back harder. They should have let the Volturi execute Edward in Italy and continued having a grand time in Forks.

i hate men named jacob black!!!!!!!
ok thats mean i dont hate him
im just a bit dead inside
i think what hooked me on to <i>twilight</i> was the relationship between bella and edward. this entire book was just jacob and bella fluffing around until edward loses his shit in Italy.
this was painful for me. i still cant rate this like a 2 because there was some edward moments!
and alice! my love. she makes everything better <3 welcome home to my brain
anyways yeah there were still some good edward moments and up until the epilogue i was like "ok cool this is an easy 4 star".
why was the epilogue like that????????
im sorry i hate the love triangle angle! im not a big fan of the trope as is, but the fact jacob is 2 years younger and so emotionally immature.... im sorry i cant. it feels forced and i hate it!
anyways here's to less jacob black, and more alice cullen

New Moon is my favorite in the series, mostly because Edward isn’t around which means Bella is a little less silly. Okay, and while I like Jacob more than Edward just because he’s less manipulative and Heathcliff-y, he also has a few warning bells going off around him. At least Jacob’s sweet, warm and cuddly and can turn into a big-ass wolf whenever he so chooses. Another thing that made me raise an eyebrow was a very simple little line: “Jacob hadn’t told me how to turn.” She’s on a motorbike and she has a crash because Jacob hasn’t told her how to turn. Has Bella never seen a bicycle before? How can you not know how to turn? It has handlebars, just like a normal bike. It has two wheels, just like a normal bike. You turn it, just like a normal bike! Anyways, the book is similar to the first one. High school life, excessive brooding, Bella being sad and sometimes mean, Bella swooning over vampires, Bella hearing voices (oh yes, she’s having full on aural hallucinations), Bella feeling sorry for herself, and so on. And shirtless, hunky werewolf boys – although they turn out better on screen, admittedly. Basically, New Moon is chewing gum for the eyes – and the brain. There were many references to Romeo and Juliet and they were blatantly obvious. (Feuding families, balcony, both commit suicide because their loved one has died, that's the general grasp of the plot.) New Moon is entertaining and oddly enticing.

One of my favourite books of the Twilight series!
Depression, to specificy Bellas, is better portrayed than in many other books I've ever read. I've never felt so empathic with a character and as someone who also suffered from depression, I've found her mental state very relatable and realistic. Her character development and her deep love to Edward were also perfectly portrayed in this book. Her relationship to Jacob was also beautifully portrayed and you understand Bellas attachement to him a lot better than in the movies and he's in generell a lot more likeable
