So....I decided to re-read this book last year, it's one of the series that I come back to every once in a while and re-read. I know the series gets a lot of hate because of the movies (I hate the movies so I get it), but I absolutely love the book series.
Do I need to write a summary? It's a well known book about a human girl who moves in with her dad and accidently becomes involved in the supernatural world when a vampire in her class, the love interest Edward, is extremely attracted to the scent of her blood. At first they don't like each other yet they're drawn to each other, and once they decide to stop resisting that connection they fall in love. Bella becomes more and more entrenched in the supernatural world and as a result her life is constantly in danger, a risk that Edward always feels guilty about and eventually decides that he's no good for her. So I love angst, and there's tons of awkward teenage angst which might be a huge reason why I love it, there's also werewolves and vampires, which I also love. I do think the relationship was a bit toxic at times, but in general they were really in love with each other and I am definitely team Edward (sorry Jacob). It's a great narrative, with amazing storytelling, lots of angst, and some mystery. It's a series that defined the Millennial generation as well as elder Gen Z, and no matter what anyone says, I'll always love it. Overall I give the book a 4/5 and recommend anyone who hasn't already read it (even if you've seen the movies) to give it an honest try. Goodreads link.
