I haven’t read this book since I was a teenager and I was intrigued to see how it would hold up. And the answer is that it held up extremely well. There are a couple of bits that made me eye roll because they’re very 2008, but generally speaking this remains one of the best sci fi romance books I’ve ever read. Even now, Stephenie Meyer still has the ability to make me cry buckets which to me, is the sign of a great book. 

I remain devastated that she never continued this series tbh.
