emotional fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Wasn’t sure if my desire to reread Twilight was a one-off, but apparently not. I remember being quite firmly in the Team Edward camp when I originally read these, but wow I am so Team Jacob now. Edward belittles, abandons, and gaslights Bella over and over again, while Bella’s lack of self-esteem is frustrating. And did we all just think it was normal that she was catatonic for months, only to then start having auditory hallucinations, and STILL no one is putting her in therapy?? I’m clearly annoyed with them all lol but what a fun time! 😅
