I am not sure how I can write a review for this and rate it objectively. The book evoked a lot of nostalgia for me and I loved to get an inside into the Cullen's life. It was very interesting to see the dynamic within the family and especially Alice and Edwards's friendship. However I had also quite a lot of problems with this book, firstly it definitely glorifies stalking someone and I was not a huge fan of that. Furthermore, I had the feeling that Carlise was established as this God-like figure who could do no wrong and the world. I think the point that irritated me most was the comparison between Edward and Bella to Hades and Persephone because that is definitely not something I see.

Overall I enjoyed my reading experiences for the feelings I got from reading it, but I was not a huge fan of the novel itself.
