Honestly, what can I say? They’re really not good, but it’s so entertaining… 😅

With the return of the Cullens, it brings about a lot of unacceptable behaviour that we honestly didn’t notice back in the day… Edward’s controlling, Jacob’s manipulative, Bella’s a fucking idiot. Honestly, these characters are so toxic, and their relationships are honestly as unhealthy as it gets, yet somehow, not many of us noticed this at the height of Twilight’s popularity. I mean, I was about 12, so I’m going to blame it on that… 😅

This is definitely not a great book. It’s also not the sort of relationships and people so many teenagers (myself included) should have been idolising, but I digress. 

Overall, it’s not good, but it’s so damn entertaining and the nostalgia is hitting me hard, not gonna lie.

erm. this book was um. probably my least favourite in the series bye
 can i also talk my shit and say FUCK JACOB BLACK!!!!!!!!
im so sorry i cannot understand team jacob fans. bro
assaults bella once & guilt trips her into kissing him
. he can kiss my ass. fuck jacob black. he was so incredibly insufferable for 99% of this book that i groaned every time he appeared. and DONT GET ME STARTED ON BELLA AND JACOB!!!!
bella u need to get ur shit together.
stop thinking u love jacob because to me its so fucking clear she doesn't love him shes just incessantly needy.

anyways um that's honestly my biggest gripe with this book.
that and you can smell the mormonism in this book unlike any other. like seriously the
no sex before marriage cockblock
occurring TWICE is so fucking funny it has me rolling.
anyways im also lowkey getting sick of how fucking needy bella is. GIRL GET SOME SELF CONFIDENCE JESUS CHRIST YOU CAN EXIST AWAY FROM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MEN!!!
ummm now what did i like? its a twilight book duh. automatic win. also i enjoyed the edward x jacob solidarity. i also LOVED the backstory dumps from rosalie and jasper <3 my loves they both deserved better when they were humans.
anyways im looking forward to the cgi baby nessie.

edit 5/2/2024: don't get me fucking started on imprinting. i forgot to add this but on god
one of the wolfies imprinting on a fucking child
was my last straw

Nonostante sia un finale decisamente particolare, mi è piaciuta l'idea finale di mostrare che Bella sia in realtà innamorata di entrambi perché penso che molto spesso nei libri sia presente l'idea di un singolo unico amore, quando in realtà posso esistere diversi tipi di amore che convivono tra loro.

Ho trovato alcune parti del libro un po' ripetitive, sia nella trama sia nel modo stesso in cui erano scritte. Nel complesso però il libro mi è piaciuto e l'ho trovato piuttosto scorrevole. In generale mi è piaciuto il modo dell'autrice di descrivere i sentimenti e i dubbi di Bella, anche se alcune volte erano probabilmente troppo drammaticità (anche se la drammaticità di bella è sempre stata presente anche nei libri precedenti quindi non è esattamente una sorpresa). Continuerò sicuramente la serie leggendo anche il prossimo libro.

I did like this book i really did it was a 5 stars for me up until Bella admitted she loved Jacob and Edward thats sort of where my 5 stars went to a 4 stars i have a strong dislike to multiple love interests/love triangles whatever you want to call it as soon as that happened i immediately stopped enjoying the book and my anxiety went nuts i wished it was only Edward and Bella I'm so relieved i finished the book but now I'm nervous to read the next one long story short this book is gonna be a four stars from me⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
