i enjoyed this book and it was refreshing to have a different perspective than bella’s of the vampire world. i wish that bree had been given more of a chance and it was just so sad because she was genuinely just a child. obviously, considering meyer’s background, we shouldn’t expect any progressive social commentary but it is interesting to analyse the novella through the lens of class and marginalisation in modern society, and the extent to which that people who are considered ‘undesirable’ are dehumanised.
