I was very hesitant to read the Twilight series because I've heard nothing but bad things about it for years. Before reading this book, I knew very little about the Twilight universe because I hadn't seen the movies either.

That being said, I understand why some people might not like this book, but I loved it! It was so much better than I expected it to be.

I actually enjoyed Bella as a main character because I found that I had a bit in common with her. I could relate to the feeling of being the new kid at a small school where everyone has known each other their whole lives.

Edward was my favorite character because he made me laugh a lot. I think a lot of it was because he would say things without even trying to be funny and they would come across to people as really weird.

I enjoyed the banter between Edward and Bella. Despite Edward being a little intense and Bella being intimidated by Edward, I actually thought they were good together.

Because so much of the book was about Bella and Edward getting to know each other, I didn't see the conflict coming at all. This made the conflict more intense to me.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book because it was a lot of fun to read, and I loved the characters.
