4.0

Despite being a re-written "genderswapped" story (which is the most ridiculous thing any author could do to one of their books ever) I'm rating this higher than Twilight because Beau and Edythe are objectively better, nicer, and more tolerable characters than Edward and Bella. I mean it, they are THAT different; it's surreal to read. Stephenie Meyer, I know you said you wrote this to prove that things would be the same no matter what gender the characters were, but you did not back yourself up on this one babe. Thanks at least for giving us chapstick lesbian Jessamine Hale. I owe you one for that.

It gets it's rating for nostalgia's sake if we're being real here.
