Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined
by Stephenie Meyer
3,5/5
When I started this book it felt like a big joke. I mean... Twilight but with all the sexes reversed? When you get to know all the characters it’s really funny to see how their names changed and how their characters stayed mostly the same.
The plot was also kind of the same, but Stephenie changed some major things that I did NOT see coming. I liked it though.
It actually was kind of confronting to notice my prejudices regarding sex/gender. The whole time I was having a hard time picturing Beau as a guy, just because he is introverted and clumsy and actually the same as Bella. The same with Eleanor (Emmet) but than the other way around. And I didn’t really like that about myself.
When I got deeper into the book, it became ‘easier’. I actually was bothered that they changed the ballet-line. Guys can do ballet too. Why couldn’t Beau?
I also LOVED Archie (Alice) and Carine (Carlisle).
