Significantly better than the first book??? It almost took my an month to finish this book, but I didn't. That must mean an improvement. I think it really just lied in getting rid of the Edward/Bella relationship because Bella was just one of the boring people when she was around Edward. 

Anyways, it went to shit after Bella and Edward got reunited so... 

3.8 / 5 C

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.

FUCKING jacob and edward can suck a dick, team alice for life...i think it gets more problematic w each book. The state of bella, the forgiveness, the weird protectiveness, i cannot take it. That being said, fun moments of bella doing wack shit and jacob being sweet before U KNOW WHAT happens
