Far more enjoyable to me compared to book one however more often than not I struggled to finish chapters especially in the first half of the story. 

It disappoints me that New Moon ultimately has no point other than to introduce werewolves and the Volturi. S. Meyer had an opportunity to explore Bella's codependency to Edward and flesh her out as a character who can stand on her own. Unfortunately their codependency and toxicity gets reinforced in the end. Where is the character development? What lesson and message does this book provide? 

I did enjoy glimpses of the Cullen family and Charlie and the book did manage to make me laugh at certain point if nothing else from the many cringe lines. Again, it's a...fun trip down memory lane but can tell that I will not be returning to New Moon or Twilight anytime soon if ever.
