Returning to Twilight as an adult is wild. I remember the story and the plot but some of the dialogue and the decisions the characters make now really threw me looking at things from the perspective as an adult. Edward and Bella are written like middle aged adults. It’s something that I didn’t really notice as a kid, but now I did laugh a few times wondering why these two have the most generic answers for their favorite things.
I liked seeing more of Alice and the rest of the Cullen’s in this book, that was the best part of the story.
Edward though, is unhinged. The amount of murder and soul contemplation in this book is so much higher than I’d expected. It made me cringe a bit.
I wasn’t really surprised by any of the events of this book, but it was a nostalgic trip back to my childhood. There’s plenty of laughs and WTF moments in this book to keep a previous “Twi-Hard” entertained for a couple days at least.

I don't think I've been so frustrated and I bored at the same time while reading a book as I was while reading Midnight Sun. There is just list upon list of pointless descriptions and the there are parts where it brushes past things I'd actually like to know, every thought Edward (and everyone else for that matter) is written which I wouldn't mind except for the fact that it is all the same damn thing over and over again, the dialogue is clumsy at best, Edward is still a terrible boyfriend who never gets better, and so much more i can't even begin to describe.
This book was an absolute chore, so much so that it made me stop reading for several days at times because it just made me sad. It is so slow at times I literally began to fall asleep and it is so bloated full of needless description that it feels like a textbook. Jesus christ, this is the textbook of Twilight.
With this final review of the Twilight series, I can now tell you to never read any of these books. Watch the movies if you was to watch some funnily bad movies but other than that, avoid this series like the plague, especially this book.
I'm serious, don't read this book no matter what, it will ruin you.
