I can understand why I liked this book (and the complete saga) when I was a teen but reading it now as an adult it leaves me wanting so much more.
The writing is often very poor, the main characters unlikable and their relationship extremely toxic. Stalking, emotional manipulation and a power imbalance between them is what stands out the most which wouldn't be necessarily bad if it wasn't romanticized and portrayed as an incredible love story meant for a very young audience.
For me, as an adult, it's worth rereading again purely for nostalgia but otherwise I would not recommend it. Still better than the movie.
