Bella is boring and annoying as fuck. Her narration is so bland. She just rambles on and on and on, and doesn't have one useful thought. And just repeats everything for each day. She went to school, drove her old barely functioning noisy car. Talked with Edward and wondered where Edward is. Talked with two of her friends but she's so much smarter than everyone, except Edward. She came home, cooked dinner.
It felt like I was reading 3 same conversations over and over and over again for 400 pages.
Edward said he is very scary and she should stay away from him. And she just refuses to listen to him and does exactly opposite. If a guy himself tells you he's walking, talking red flag in every conceivable way, chances are he's right and you should run in opposite way. And he has one facial expression - smirk or crooked smile.
This is a guidebook of how to get into toxic relationship and how to be manipulative, gaslighting boyfriend. (It's no wonder why everyone idolises Rhys now.) Edward puts her in terrible situations and somehow she ends up apologising to him. And he constantly gaslights her about anything and everything. And keeps asking her if she's scared of him, and she should be scared of him because he's very scary. And then he proceeds to throw stuff around and she just stays with him. Bella is sooo in love with him, she would literally die for him after like three months. And she really, really wants to become a vampire so she could be with him forever.
Anyways, if it isn't obvious from this very lovely review, I'll continue reading this.

I read this to do an annotated hate-read of the book as a gift for one of my sisters because she finds my disdain for the series hilarious. It took me like two years to get through this 500 page shitshow.rtthalia's review against another edition

One author complaint would be the adjectives. "Medium build" and "nondescript" and "average looking" are a few that come to mind...
