Jedyne co znalazłam dobrego w tej książce to okładka oraz (wątpliwej jakości) wtrącenia dotyczące feminizmu i edukacji seksualnej. 
Kiepski retelling i tak słabego już „Zmierzchu”. Dialogi są nienaturalne, sceny źle skonstruowane (np. postać siedzi a potem nagle jednak stoi), mnóstwo jest też nieścisłości (np. wampiry niby rozpoznają kłamstwo a jednak potem dają się okłamać?).
W dodatku książka w zasadzie nie ma zakończenia. Nie można nawet powiedzieć że ma otwarte zakończenie - po prostu nagle się urywa.
