Wanted a more light-hearted quick read between more dense books and honestly liked it more than I thought I would. I only watched all the movies for the first time last month so this was a ride.
Jacob is barely in it, Edward is gross and manipulative, Bella is absolutely useless and super cringe to read through her perspective. But it was fun and fast and served it’s purpose as good junk food guilty pleasure of a book.
The last 3rd was really not great with the sudden threat, it didn’t flow with the rest, it felt rushed and unnecessary, I just wanted a shitty romance, I didn’t want half-assed drama.
Don’t regret reading it, I overall enjoyed it, but I won’t be reading it again nor will I be reading the others in the series.
