A review by alyssabookrecs
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
1.0
This is your reminder that the actual, real-life Quileute people received no compensation from the Twilight saga author or filmmakers despite their tribe being exploited for Meyer’s story, and they deserve to be compensated for that. You can help the Quileutes move to higher ground in anticipation of the Big One: https://mthg.org
Review: Horrible. The lack of nuanced discussion about suicide, mental health, teen break-ups. The racist depictions of the Quileutes as angry, uncontrollable beasts. The absolute manipulation Edward bestows upon Bella at the end of the story regarding her mortality. I had a lot of fun listening this, but only for its pop culture place, not particularly for the content. Bella and Jacob’s friendship is sweet, and as a teen I didn’t appreciate that. Alice reigns supreme as my favorite character. I love the cameo of Laurent. Jane is also up there as my fave vampire of the series. The Volturis are the best lol
