Reviews with content warning for Gaslighting - Eclipse

With the return of the Cullens, it brings about a lot of unacceptable behaviour that we honestly didn’t notice back in the day… Edward’s controlling, Jacob’s manipulative, Bella’s a fucking idiot. Honestly, these characters are so toxic, and their relationships are honestly as unhealthy as it gets, yet somehow, not many of us noticed this at the height of Twilight’s popularity. I mean, I was about 12, so I’m going to blame it on that… 😅

This is definitely not a great book. It’s also not the sort of relationships and people so many teenagers (myself included) should have been idolising, but I digress.

Overall, it’s not good, but it’s so damn entertaining and the nostalgia is hitting me hard, not gonna lie.

What did I just read? As a teen, I was a fan of all the twilight books... As a adult, this was a torture to re read... Frist there is nothing going on in this book except the Bella monologue of toxic relationships. Why did we fantasize Jacob as teen who is legit sexually assaulting Bella and forcing himself of her? And... Charlie approved is daughter to be assaulted?!? What is this book? Seriously...

I loved Eclipse, it’s honestly such a good book and no one can change my mind. I do think it’s well-written, I love the characters (apart from Jacob in this book, he made me go nuts haha) and it had a lot of plot twists. Watching the movie right after finishing the book, is honestly the best thing in the world and the casting is sooo good please. Also, still don’t understand this whole hate thing from the past against Kristen Stewart. Obviously this isn’t regular acting but she represents Bella perfectly in the way she choose to act.

4.5 for nostalgia, 0/5 for the extreme mental and emotional abuse Jacob inflicts on Bella.
