Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

5.0

will always give this book a 5/5 whether that’s due to the nostalgia of my childhood or being able to read this and pretty much watch the movie in my head idk. Only issue is Bella can be a tad bit bland and the intensity of her & Edward can be too much too fast but still LOVE THIS BOOK & SERIES NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE

4/5 - Honestly I go back and forth with this book. I absolutely love the twilight series and no one can ever make me not LOVE this series but I just cannot get over the fact that Bella just does not have a personality if it’s not revolving around Edward and Jacob. Overall New Moon is a fantastic book and the plot is *chefs kiss* (even if it’s overrated) & seeing how Bella has such different types of loves between Edward and jacob makes this such a good read. I just have beef with Bella ATM hence the downgrade on the rating

4/5 - like I’ve said with all the other books in this series, twilight will always hold a special part in my heart I simply do not care about the hate I receive for that comment. I wanted to give this a 3.5 because I simply cannot handle Bella in relation to Edward this book especially with him declaring his unrequited love for her while she wants to get in his pants, but reading this book again gave me a deeper appreciation for Bella and Jacob’s relationship. All in all this book had me crying like a baby much like every time I read this series and I will ALWAYS STAN THIS no matter how much the characters get on my nerve from time to time again :,)

5/5 - this book made me laugh and cry and made me want to rip my hair out while finding someone to love me as much as alex loves poppy. So heartfelt and It tugged at me so much deeper than Beach Read did (only other Emily Henry book I’ve read). I loved the plot of the book & the flashbacks. It was amazing to see the development and see how their relationship was built. There were so many fuzzy moments I wish I could experience & feel for the first time again. The humor & witt in the book is unreal and the core understanding each character has for one another makes me long for a love like Poppy & Alex’s. To have a slow burn second chance friends to lovers irl !!!

5/5 - Has ALWAYS been a favorite of mine. The illustrations add to the story and help to give it more character. Vert interesting depiction of relationships and I love how it's told almost backwards. Makes me very nostalgic and is a book that hits home for many reasons :,)

5/5 - I absolutely could not put this book down. I am absolutely in love with Ethan Thomas he is my new book boyfriend!!! I absolutely loved the plot and the banter/chemistry was unreal. It was a typical Contemporary romance but I loved the conflict, it wasn’t the typical/expected conflict that I normally see in contemporaries. Just SO GOOD; the money I would give to read this book for the first time again!!!! The body parts I would sell to go to Hawaii and have a completely predictable enemies to lovers moment with a subtle but not so subtle romantic 6’4 brooding man!!!!
