It was fun to revisit the story from a new perspective. I think my biggest complaint is that the purpose of this book was to reject gender norms... but it honestly just reinforces them?? All the times that Bella cries in the book is changed, descriptions and other phrases are changed. The majority of the text is word for word the same except for character names and pronouns which honestly is more jarring than anything as my brain kept autofilling the original name. The last 50 pages make it worth the read (and are a great highlight reel of the series) as it explores what could have happened in Twilight which I found interesting.

Overall, glad to have read it. If you like twilight you’ll enjoy it. But I probably won’t revisit it on re-reads of the series.

Also, major shoutout for our girl Bella who went through her change without making any noise in order to protect Edward meanwhile Beau screamed the whole time even though he could hear Edythe being thoroughly distraught.

There aren’t words for how grateful I am for this book. I have never read a book with an ace or aro MC before. I never realized how much it would mean to read a book with the MC like me!! As someone who is ace, reading Georgia’s journey first made me wish this book existed 12 years ago... and second made me hella jealous of Georgia for learning about asexuality and aromanticism at 18 instead of 25 like me.

Wowwwww obsessed with this book!!

This book.... yikes. Where to even begin? The premise is something I just can’t get behind. Main character is 16. Older dude who is a college professor comes into the picture and a “romance” ensures. The entire book portrays their explicitly sexual relationship as this once in a lifetime love experience and I just have a fundamental issue with that.

Also, the completely weird and just not okay peach and toilet scenes. Unacceptable. 

Add in the fact that the main character fantasizes about rape? And also about the “love interest” being killed to relieve him of his desires? And that at one point the wishes the other character would be in a wheelchair so that he would “be superior to him”?? And in one line the main character casually compares a peach to a rape victim? Wayyyy crosses multiple lines for me. 

There are some ways the author writes that I appreciate and found some passages to be beautifully written - hence the 2 stars and not 1. But I would not recommend this book to anyone.
