About three things Bella Swan was right about
First Edward was a vampire.
Second there was a part of him that didn’t know how desperate he was for Bella’s blood.
Third of all Bella was uncontrollably in love with Edward.

“It had been awhile since i had a girls night out and the estrogen rush was invigorating “ Bella
“ I loved Jacob much more than I should and yet still not near enough “bella
I believe that it’s an amazing book and there were a few moments that I didn’t like but that’s like every book . I would definitely recommend it for young adults
I found Twilight to be an engaging and fast paced read especially for fans who love reading about romance and supernatural fiction. The tension between Bella and Edward was well crafted and kept the pages turning. The gloomy atmospheric setting of forks also contributed to the novel’s moody tone which complemented the story’s emotional highs and lows.
However some aspects I felt like it started to go problematic. Bella depends on Edward too much and I feel like she’s always willing to risk everything for him. It raises concern about their portrayal of relationships especially for young readers . Her character often lacks agency and the dynamic between her and Edward can feel overly possessive rather than romantic.
I rate Twilight a 4.5 / 5 stars
