Thank you for posting this. Meyer never intended this novel to be classified as YA. I myself was once involved in an abusive relationship, and in reading this series, never once did I relate Bella and Edward's relationship to mine. I got out and am happily married, for almost nine years, but Edward's actions were not even close to being the same as my ex-boyfriend. I think teenage girls who read this like the drama and romance. I really don't see them focusing on the "control issues" that so many of you are talking about. I loved the series.
Just my two cents!

These book are so funny. I have read the whole series so far and I reread the ones I own. They make you laugh out loud and Georgia's teenage angst is too familiar. I can't wait until my girls are old enough to read them and appreciate Goergia's escapades.
