1st Reread: When I went in expecting garbage, I was pleasantly surprised. When I went in with higher expectations, I got garbage. What gives?
In all seriousness though, most of this book was cringey and a bit of a drag on the second readthrough. The ending was still pretty good though. (Also, I definitely like Jacob's character in this book and early on in New Moon much more than him later on in the series.)
Original Review (from 2022):
I finished this book back in February when we had a bad snowstorm in our area (my workplace was closed, so I got a few long afternoons to read). As a result, I think it's always going to feel like a winter read to me. 🤣 Never read it during the original craze, and reading it inspired my dabbling in other popular YA series I've missed out on over the years (such as the Lunar Chronicles).
I enjoyed Twilight more than I like to admit, and was therefore excited to read New Moon. 4 Stars! ****
