5.0

This is still a 5 even though I am so much farther into recognizing it for the gaslighting, controlling, paternalistic, colonizing nonsense it is. It's one of my first loves.

(One of) The problem(s) with this book is:
-- if you believe Edward, Bella is delusional and self-harming, and he is noble for trying to save her from herself, while also being deplorable (before that became a political buzzword) for continuing to bait her.
-- if you believe Bella, she has only now found something worth living and dying for, even though it's borderline toxic and abusive.

I enjoy revisiting this series. While it will probably never be my favorite, it is still a solid read if you like a little overdramatic in your romance. It holds up well to a reread, and once again the book is better than the movie.

I finally read twilight! It was not a literary masterpiece but a fun read.

The whole book was mostly Edward wanting to kill Bella, Bella being chill with that (because Edward is pretty), and Edward getting angry at Bella for having no self preservation.

I was surprised with how often Bella describes Edward as having an angelic appearance as well how young Carlisle is (he is tooooo young to have gotten a doctorate).

I think the movie is better
