Jesus this was a difficult book to read! I was so bored the entire time. I am normally in love with Meyer's writing because it flows very easily and is compatible with my brain, but this was so strenuous to read. I was like 'wtf even is this' 90% of the time. This is the kind of book a teacher in high school would assign for the students to psychoanalyze the gender roles and expectations of the different characters. I read another review that said it seemed like Meyer Ctrl-Fed the pronouns and switched them and I agree. I got confused often because while Beau and Earnest are both male characters, they act so entirely feminine that I forget the character is supposed to be a man or even straight. It's the same thing for Jessamine and Joss. This book had so much potential but just fell flat. I would recommend that everyone just skip this book because it was a whole fat waste of time.

It was interesting to gender swap most characters but I reread Twilight not that long ago and everything else is like identical. Gonna move on for now!

I’ll be honest. I’m really biased when it comes to the Twilight series. Really, really biased.
This series brings back so many great memories of reading the series in middle school, the hype around the movies, the book release for breaking dawn, listening to the soundtrack over and over and remembering each song.
The gender-swapped Twilight was admittedly not much different. There were minor changes here and there, but the ending is what makes it so much different. I enjoyed the new ending on one hand but…Charlie. That’s all I say.
The major problem with this book for me is there’s multiple references toward calling Beau a “child” or “boy.” It’s really awkward, even when you suspend all of your disbelief for what’s going on in the book.
Overall though, this book is just fun. Some of the choices are a bit far fetched (even for this series) so I knocked the review a bit, but if you shut your brain off and just read, it’s easy to look past it. I also like that it answered some questions I always had while reading/watching the Twilight series. The book is just plain fun, and a really easy read.
I enjoyed it so much!
I’m back in my Twilight phase again now. Still don’t like the name Beau though
