you can try to make me feel bad for enjoying this but you won't
it's not any better than the original twilight, which i haven't read in at least 7 years but can distinctly remember not enjoying the character development or the story at all (i only became interested in the series during the second book, when there's actual world building and character development). that being said, it tickles my pickle that this gender-bent version of twilight exists and puts a fun new twist on the story.
parting blow: stop giving stephenie meyer so much grief. bad books exist but people can still write and enjoy them.
I thought this would be interesting, however I just found it a bit blah. Within the first few pages, I decided I didn't need this version.
It felt like she just searched and replaced all names with this book. Was exactly the same until the end, at which point it became deeply uncompelling.
Contains spoilers
The ending felt a bit rushed, but I enjoyed the idea of Beau ending as a vampire sooner than Bella.
Not as riveting as when I first read it in the 6th grade. Love the swap and change in ending, but so so sad
if you read Twilight in the best faith, gave it the benefit of the doubt in every way, and analyzed it far too closely, you'd come up with something like Life and Death. it's everything I loved about Twilight, all the pieces that were sort of simmering under the surface
there's just something so heart wrenching about two lonely, miserable people looking at each other and saying 'you, forever'
if you hated Twilight, you're not going to like this either. if you read Twilight and went 'ugh, so much wasted potential', you'll probably love it
(all of S Meyer's weirdness is still present btw, don't be fooled by my glowing review)
