A review by marinapalladinetti
Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.

Jacob literally commits sexual assault against Bella by kissing her. She’s fighting him and trying to push him away, and Bella’s father literally tells him later when they get home... “good job.”
No one acknowledges the kiss/make-out that's forced onto her as a form of assault in this book. The author turns it into a love triangle, and ends the conversation with the two guys “fighting” for her… when she was literally just assaulted… Not even Edward is taking the fact that she was forced into a kiss, and couldn’t move, and just the way it was written was so detailed. I thought she was going to get raped the way Jacob was holding her, forcing her, and then afterward saying that she "wanted it." Horrible. It made me sick just now. 

I don't think I'm going to finish these books because of how much that bothered me.
