dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

The movie is my favorite out of all of them, but the book felt so slow and a tad boring. It dragged for me, and maybe that was the point to help aid the plot line of Bella being very depressed. The relationship between Bella and Jacob is explored a lot more in this book, and I feel bad for Jake. But at the same time, why does he not understand boundaries and people's decisions? Anywho this took me longer to read for some reason compared to the first book, but I still liked it. Just a little slow again.

-This book is so good it was definitely more sadder and tense then the first one but given the fact that i watched the movies a good 7000 times in the years since 2015 it was expected but like i said the first book they really left allot of good stuff out of the movies or they flipped it into something similar but not like the movies i loved how Edward spoke to her and i was so excited when they reunited if you have never read the books before my personal opinion i would highly recommend to watch the movies first as much as you would think it would spoil the book they left out allot and flipped allot of parts from the book i mean so much that i was not expecting it it definitely was comforting for me that i watched the movies before i read any of the books because i have terrible anxiety that gets easily triggered especially when happy couples break up even though in the books they normally get back together but still so i was comforted to know that they were guaranteed to reunite but i do also wish like the first book that they would’ve put some parts into the movie they left such good parts out when they made the movie and like i also said when i read the first book that i 100% think no questions asked that the books are better then the movies are the movies are still good though i rated this book 5 stars right along with the first one⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️-

Love it, love it! I expected it to be a little boring waiting for Edward to rejoin the story, but it was really great! I loved the friendship dynamic with Bella and Jacob, it's more detailed than it is in the film
