im actually soooooooo normal about twilight
ok so confession - i have never read twilight before. or seen the movies.
until 2024.
FUCK THAT WAS GOOD???
now i will say. yes the book is cringe at points. like when edward literally eats bella's tears.
and also meyer is um. Odd! like calling jacob "indian"....... Erm!
but i did in fact gobble this book up so. i think im at fault here.
i don't know why i was so addicted to this book but i swear to god its laced with crack.
ummmm i actually cant put how i feel into words.
the ending ate, the story ate, the characters ate (shout out alice u remind me i like women), the pacing, everything (minus the cutesy-cringe moments & the microaggressions....)
i hate you alastair because im an addict. i need my next twilight fix.

I've heard a lot of negative things regarding this book/series online, however I must say that it surpassed my expectations. Maybe I'm just into romance books, but this book got me into reading, frankly enough. I guess it can be a bit cheesy at times, but I personally liked that. I genuinely could NOT stop reading at times, going from not reading a single book to reading this in a mere week - Which is crazy! I definetely recommend this.

I only reread this to go through and highlight all the signs of abuse. Almost every page had a highlight on it. No idea why this is still considered a romance novel.

Reading Twilight for the first time is a bit of a beast, as it carries a lot of cultural baggage on its shoulders. When I started, it took some time to try and forget about it, because underneath the major cultural phenomenon of Twilight is just a normal YA romance. It's not something of major literary merit, it's also not garbage.

I had a good time reading the book, picturing how I would adapt it.

Such a hard book to rate. We all know it's not a great piece of literature, and Meyer's racism and obsession with weird age gaps definitely depreciates the quality of the literature that is there. But it is so fun. I had a blast reading it. It's silly, very of-it's-time, funny at parts, and a very interesting take on vampires. The background characters are far more interesting than Bella and Edward. I read this for class but I am tempted to read the rest of the series again.

Very nostalgic. Really not nearly as bad as people claim. The writing was perfect when describing the atmosphere, not as great during conversation but it wasn't too distracting. There is some abuse disguised as love which isn't great but not as bad as I remembered.
