“Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.”

Perfect quote for the perfect book reading session I just did. Twilight again?!?!?!? The answer is yes. It’s been more than a decade since I last decided to read this book and I knew from memory that I’ve reread this book countless of times during my teenage years and loved it every time. This is why I added an additional tab for “cringe content” - for scenes and lines I sure loved during my teenage years but hate now that I’m an adult. infairness, there was only 5 tabs for that throughout the book so that means I haven’t cringed entirely on this book. 

I can see why I loved it back then. I didn’t rate this below 3 so that means something, I still like it. It’s a good fantasy story for young adult, that’s for sure. Bella and Edward was the it book couple during the early 2000s and I can remember why. If it wasn’t for the sparkle during the sun thing, I doubt they’d get hate as much as it did now. I actually enjoyed it even when cringing occasionally. 

Reason for rereading: I bought Midnight Sun last few months ago and I need to freshen up my memory on Twilight because the movie doesn’t do justice.
