Chapter 1
The Good
It is interesting seeing how Stephanie used Edwards mind reading. I liked the bit where he talked about being relieved the name "Edward" went out of style because whenever people thought the name "Edward" he would turn. I thought that was a cool little tidbit.
I liked getting a glimpse into the other Cullens minds.
Alice got some really good characterization. She's such a sweetheart. Alice is the best character!
The Bad
OMG! Poor Jasper! He's always in so much pain and he doesn't need to be! The first few pages felt so pointless! There is a simple solution! Tell everyone he's homeschooled! It's just annoying reading about Edward wining about how much he hates high school and how much Jasper is suffering when THERE IS A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THIS! It's hard to take this seriously. For ancient vampires the Cullens sure are dumb.
It's very slow paced. Kinda bored.
Everyone is so obsessed with Bella, it comes off so cartoonishly exaggerated. Maybe Stephanie was homeschooled. Maybe that’s why the high school parts are so bad. Or maybe she’s a narcissist? Bella is definitely a self insert so everyone being obsessed with her seems like a narcissist wet dream. But then again Twilight did start out as a wet dream. Stephanie said she had a dream about a perfect boy and a perfect girl (probably her) in a meadow talking. I have a sneaking suspicion they did more than just talk in that dream but whatever. I don't really care to have this suspicion confirmed.
Okay so there's a part where Bella walks in the science lab and Edward gets a shift of her scent for the first time and OH MY GOD THE CRINGE!! Stephanie uses so many words but literally NOTHING happens. That's not even an exaggeration. Literally he just sits there lamenting about how much of a "monster" he is. There's a kind of interesting day dream he has about murdering everyone in the classroom but it's JUST a daydream and NOTHING happens! It's like if I were to write a story about me writing a story.
I sat in the library daydreaming about my characters. I imagined that Quinn snapped an old man's neck and blood squirted everywhere. And then Lucas came in and seduced a younger librarian, taking her into one of the small study rooms off to the side. I pictured they had very loud sex before a loud scream and then blood spattering on the windows of the room.
I blinked and nothing like that had happened. But I felt horrible for thinking such violent things. No one knew what a monster I was! I was sick in the head. I returned my attention to my Facebook news feed.
See?
Edward is so annoying. 😭 He's so tortured over nothing! Get a life! Get out of high school! I'm bored!
The school secretary, Mrs. Cope should NOT be allowed around children! Omfg! She's having inappropriate thoughts about a student! This is NOT normal! Ik he's a vampire and all but omg ew! Stephanie, you DID NOT need to put this in! We get it! They're hot! Everyone's horny for the Cullens and Bella all the time! It's just kind of a given at this point!
I love and hate this one part where Alice tells Jasper it helps to think of them as people. No shit! I like how it shows she's really connected to the community and it shows a bit about her character but it kind of also came off like telling someone with depression that essential oils and yoga helps. I cringed hard.
Holy fuck Jessica is a BITCH! She's coming across as a MAJOR narcissist!
Final Thoughts
Boring.
Edward is annoying.
My high school crush on Alice has resurfaced with a passion. Alice is the only Cullen I will get hot and bothered over.
…
Okay maybe also Jasper a little but that's just because he's with Alice. 😅
