Honestly, what can I say? They’re really not good, but it’s so entertaining… 😅

With the return of the Cullens, it brings about a lot of unacceptable behaviour that we honestly didn’t notice back in the day… Edward’s controlling, Jacob’s manipulative, Bella’s a fucking idiot. Honestly, these characters are so toxic, and their relationships are honestly as unhealthy as it gets, yet somehow, not many of us noticed this at the height of Twilight’s popularity. I mean, I was about 12, so I’m going to blame it on that… 😅

This is definitely not a great book. It’s also not the sort of relationships and people so many teenagers (myself included) should have been idolising, but I digress. 

Overall, it’s not good, but it’s so damn entertaining and the nostalgia is hitting me hard, not gonna lie.
