Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer

4.0

This book was so much more than I expected. Going into it I was excited to relive the passions of my childhood but I didn’t expect to actually enjoy the story as much as I did considering it was technically one that I had already read. Reading this book I could really tell how much SM’s writing has improved compared to the very first book. I really and truly felt the love that Edward has for Bella and it honestly made me emotional at some points. Their romance feels more like a natural chain of events in this book and it feels more real and passionate. I also enjoyed the freshness that his perspective brought to the story as he added more to Bella’s character than we get in her own book and the insight to all the other characters was entertaining as well. After reading this I feel like I’ve made my inner younger self happy and I feel content to have this story and these characters fresh in my mind again. The only thing I will say is that Edward’s thoughts and rambles do get repetitive and the book is slightly longer than it needs to be. Regardless of this, however, I still loved this book!
