A fun book with a fun concept. Execution wasn't amazing, but was I still enjoyed reading it.
Main complaint is that the chapters were so long! Like a chapter with 2 POVs (Fridge and Daisy) was over 40 pages, and couple have been split into seperate chapters. It would be been much more easily readable.

The Woman in Me by Britney Spears
5.0
I will never rate a memoir this deep and emotional anything less than 5 ☆s.
I had no clue about what Britney went through and only vaguely knew about the conservatorship via the news when it ended.
The narrator, Michelle Williams, really pulled the story together and narrated it beautifully. I felt every line.
I will be more aware of Britney's struggles in the future. She deserves that much.

The End of the Fucking World by Charles Forsman
4.0
A fun graphic novel the inspired the Channel 4/Netflix series.
We follow James and Alyssa through alternating perspectives as they navigate life on the run.
Alyssa ignores James' violent tendencies and James protects her from a ritualistic murderer.
This is an interesting story and illustrated uniquely. I'm looking forward to reading Forsman's other book "I am not okay with this".

Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined by Stephenie Meyer
this was a solid 3.5☆ read until the final few chapters. I was really not expecting it to end that way and was so surprised when the decision was made for that ending to occur!
Not a bad "what if" of the Twilight book. Liked Beau as a character more than I liked Bella I think. And Charlie was 100% meant to be a boy dad rather than a girl dad.
Having just read the entire series for the first time including Bree Tanner and Midnught Sun, I'm surprised at how much I actually enjoyed it

I genuinely think I enjoyed this more than the original book. I think having the insight from Edward and his mind reading talent made it much more interesting and it was great to see his perspective of everything that happens in the original book. it was especially intriguing to see that Edward had decided to leave Bella pretty immediately after the accident for her own safety, not just towards her 18th birthday like New Moon suggests.
Overall, I’d be interested to read the rest of the series from Edward’s POV and I’m looking forward to the animated series coming from it.
I’d 100% read any of the books from other POVs too, Jasper especially would be very interesting!

I honestly enjoyed this novella more than the original series. I loved seeing the world through the eyes of Bree as a new born vampire. I enjoyed reading about that situation she was in under Riley's control.
My heart broke for her when she discovered Riley had lied about Deigo being alive. I wanted her to have a happy ending so badly, even though I knew that she wouldn't. I really liked her as a character.

I really liked the way it was separated into 3 books. Especially Jacob's POV in book 2. It was refreshing to read something from someone else's perspective.
It slowed down a little at the start of book 3 but picked up once the threat picked up. It was also pleasantly surprising that the ending was a little different to the film.

Was so interesting to read this story after seeing the film. Especially the Jacob/love storyline.
The build up to the fight was stressful but it was great reading about the prep everyone went through and getting to know more about Jaspar. The characters and writing weren't as good as previous books, but it was still enjoyable and the plot kept me wanting more!

Enjoyed reading the story instead of watching it. Being inside Bellla's head is very interesting!
Meyer did an excellent job showing Bella's depression and the passing of time was genius.
Watching her friendship with Jacob blossom was lovely and the ending was so tense. The anticipation was intense!

It's so cliche and bad that it's good.
I went into reading this after finishing rewatching the film for the 10th time.
I enjoyed reading the story and seeing more into Bella's mind throughout the events and also seeing parts that were removed from the film. I'll probably read the rest of the series next!
The writing was OK and the storyline was alright, but the characters are what made me love the book. It felt like teen fanfiction but in the best way. It was exactly what I needed to read right now whilst I'm in a rough patch in life.
