A review by laurenmichellebrock
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

3.0

I gave this 3 stars the last time I read it apparently, and I think I’ll leave it at 3. The writing wasn’t as strong to me as the first book. There were also some cringe moments. I did read it super fast. That’s only because I’m TE all the way so most of this book paled (ha) in comparison to the first due to his ridiculous absence. Not that I didn’t feel for Bella at times, but she’s not my favorite in this one. She risks endangering Jessica (how dare she put Anna Kendrick in harm’s way!), she sees everyone, even her supposed best friend Jacob, as practically second-class to the Cullens, not to mention all the hell she puts Charlie through. And, honestly, I just got sick of her falling all the damn time. Did that stop me from flying through the book? NO. Insufferable, but addicting, read.
