i hate men named jacob black!!!!!!!
ok thats mean i dont hate him
im just a bit dead inside
i think what hooked me on to <i>twilight</i> was the relationship between bella and edward. this entire book was just jacob and bella fluffing around until edward loses his shit in Italy.
this was painful for me. i still cant rate this like a 2 because there was some edward moments!
and alice! my love. she makes everything better <3 welcome home to my brain
anyways yeah there were still some good edward moments and up until the epilogue i was like "ok cool this is an easy 4 star".
why was the epilogue like that????????
im sorry i hate the love triangle angle! im not a big fan of the trope as is, but the fact jacob is 2 years younger and so emotionally immature.... im sorry i cant. it feels forced and i hate it!
anyways here's to less jacob black, and more alice cullen

One of my favourite books of the Twilight series!

Depression, to specificy Bellas, is better portrayed than in many other books I've ever read. I've never felt so empathic with a character and as someone who also suffered from depression, I've found her mental state very relatable and realistic. Her character development and her deep love to Edward were also perfectly portrayed in this book. Her relationship to Jacob was also beautifully portrayed and you understand Bellas attachement to him a lot better than in the movies and he's in generell a lot more likeable

The movie is my favorite out of all of them, but the book felt so slow and a tad boring. It dragged for me, and maybe that was the point to help aid the plot line of Bella being very depressed. The relationship between Bella and Jacob is explored a lot more in this book, and I feel bad for Jake. But at the same time, why does he not understand boundaries and people's decisions? Anywho this took me longer to read for some reason compared to the first book, but I still liked it. Just a little slow again.

This book is so good it was definitely more sadder and tense then the first one but given the fact that i watched the movies a good 7000 times in the years since 2015 it was expected but like i said the first book they really left allot of good stuff out of the movies or they flipped it into something similar but not like the movies i loved how Edward spoke to her and i was so excited when they reunited if you have never read the books before my personal opinion i would highly recommend to watch the movies first as much as you would think it would spoil the book they left out allot and flipped allot of parts from the book i mean so much that i was not expecting it it definitely was comforting for me that i watched the movies before i read any of the books because i have terrible anxiety that gets easily triggered especially when happy couples break up even though in the books they normally get back together but still so i was comforted to know that they were guaranteed to reunite but i do also wish like the first book that they would've put some parts into the movie they left such good parts out when they made the movie and like i also said when i read the first book that i 100% think no questions asked that the books are better then the movies the movies are still good though i rated this book 5 stars right along with the first one⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
