Decided to reread this, I read it in middle school and used to be a fan but decided to revisit. Whether you like or hate it, its such a landmark in pop culture; I never take it seriously, it’s a fun read if you just like shallow paranormal romances.

“Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.”

Perfect quote for the perfect book reading session I just did. Twilight again?!?!?!? The answer is yes. It’s been more than a decade since I last decided to read this book and I knew from memory that I’ve reread this book countless of times during my teenage years and loved it every time. This is why I added an additional tab for “cringe content” - for scenes and lines I sure loved during my teenage years but hate now that I’m an adult. infairness, there was only 5 tabs for that throughout the book so that means I haven’t cringed entirely on this book. 

I can see why I loved it back then. I didn’t rate this below 3 so that means something, I still like it. It’s a good fantasy story for young adult, that’s for sure. Bella and Edward was the it book couple during the early 2000s and I can remember why. If it wasn’t for the sparkle during the sun thing, I doubt they’d get hate as much as it did now. I actually enjoyed it even when cringing occasionally. 

Reason for rereading: I bought Midnight Sun last few months ago and I need to freshen up my memory on Twilight because the movie doesn’t do justice.

Quite pleased with the overall plot and ending. I don't really like any of the characters (except Alice), but I enjoyed the book regardless. It was a quick read for being almost 500 pages - tempo and structure was solid.

One author complaint would be the adjectives. "Medium build" and "nondescript" and "average looking" are a few that come to mind...

I only reread this to go through and highlight all the signs of abuse. Almost every page had a highlight on it. No idea why this is still considered a romance novel.
