Literally the one thing Bella wants as a human is to fuck Edward. She has to ask this explicitly from him - and its very awkward. She is uncomfortable the whole time. Edward rejects her because he is a big prude and never has any fun, and of course she immediately tries to blame herself and consider herself unlovable. Pick a side Smeyer

Edward can read literally all the wolves minds at once. He finds this fascinating, describing it as a struggle between hive-mind and self. I have a feeling this is more of Smeyers "indigenous people cant think for themselves" thing. But I also think Edward is just being a little weirdo about it
Also yeah i have to admit Edward giving her heart bracelet and saying the similarities was cute ill give her one point forit

Cancel me again I do not think Jacob was out of line for trying to convince Bella to not turn into a vampire. The kissing thing was dumb, but again I attribute that to Smeyer trying to up the marketing for Jacob vs Edward - and to make Jacob look like the bad guy in every situation. Yes this is apologist for Jacob
Also Bella breaking her hand while punching Jacob for kissing her is HILARIOUS

Yes Jasper was actually in the confederacy and he was dumb enough to get horny for vampires and be turned. He like?? Trained other vampires in like a turf war?? I can zoned out tbh I dont care

Yes I do understand that Edward wants to make sure Bella is serious about becoming a vampire. No I do not understand why MARRIAGE is his way of affirming this. And no i do not understand why, if Bella is truly in love with him and wants to spend forever with him, she is AGAINST marrying him. Its dumb, just let them get married

I'm no expert in indigenous studies or stories or culture but I'm assuming everything in that Quileute legend is just bullshit. And it doesn't even explain anything about how theyre involved with vampire anyway so?? I'm not even bothering

When Jacob changes his for he has to carry his clothes in his MOUTH asdfasdf that's so fucking funny
He's also very curious about Bella and Edwards physical relationship. Like he keeps asking what they do, whether they kiss. Bellas somehow avoids an answer except for the kissing every time. Because Edward has no personality

In the first surprising twist, Edward is actually trying to get over his prejudice against Werewolves and letting Bella hang out with Jacob. P sure this is a ploy by smeyer to make Jacob look unreasonable, but I still stan him.

Jacob literally has to SAVE BELLA from the Cullens because they wont let her out of their sight. Like she's miserable with them without Edward while hes out hunting or something. Jacob has to take her from school where Alice cant chase after her and its so funny like GOOO GIRL BE FREE

Rosalie talking about her assault in detail is WEIRD like why would she even do that. But she did murder all of her rapists in her wedding dress so that's hot.
But also that whole story was trying to convince Bella not to become a Vampire but like? Her life sucked before she was a vampire?? She got revenge after she turned?

Alice literaly makes Bella feel bad about her clothes and wants to dress her up "like some kind of 3dimensional doll" as if that is normal thing for a friend to do
Alice also cant see the wolves' future because they are "too volatile" or something racist but doesn't really explain why that means she can't see Bellas?? Smeyer stop

Edward doesn't believe that the werewolves turned because of the vampires?? Like, why does he hate them then? Like he's just as racist as the rest of the cullens, why do they even hate the wolves if he doesn't even believe there's a connection? Stupid

Charlie agrees to un-ground Bella as long as she hangs out with Jacob lmaooo good job Chuck!!
Even EDWARD wants her to get a life outside of him, he finds colleges that she can apply to even he knows she too obsessed with him
Bella literally sees tens of people getting murdered by vampires in the news and she's like "rip but im different"

Charlie literally cannot boil noodles. They somehow form a lump in the pot. I do not know how a man is so dumb
Bella points out that Edward can read Charlie's mind to see how unwelcome he is and its sooo hilarious to think Edward knows EXACTLY how much Charlie hates him and loves Jacob asdfasdf

Wish the actual affair was happening, this woman is just sort of meandering around. Her husband doesn't even seem that bad, just a bit more focused on work - she she at least should have tried to talk to him.

Most likely because I am so distracted while listening to this, but its just..fine. The concept is interesting and the characters are quirky, but I'm struggling to really describe the plot? The real conflict? Besides people are losing random things that don't seem too important. Jude I guess is a mystery for Laurel? Rose lost her virginity? Its not all that exciting

Okay this is the part is really hate - I'm trying to understand where Morgan is coming from but being mad at Ruby for not wanting to be kicked out of her house and staying in the closet as if that isn't totally reasonable?? She did know Ruby can't come out and she's been guilting her for a good few chapters. At least right now Ruby is standing up for herself

Oooh yeah none of my worries are coming true, I'm loving them!! The secret pining!!! The YEARNING!! Ruby is White Trash representation lmao but I love her and her problems feel real instead of stock pity grabs. Morgan is great out and proud without being judgy towards everyone else

Okay yeah I hope I'll like it ☺️. I love Ruby so far with her insecurities and complexities with her no-care attitude and wanting to be loved. She's already going so hard for Morgan and I want it to be good

This just....drips with juvenile YA-ness. Idk I hope I can get into it, but the conservative Mom's Boyfriend and the whole incoming drama of a secret gay relationship might just not be for me. But also the idea of the preppy angry girl and the queer athlete doing a little enemies to lovers should be sooooo goood

This is becoming a bit of a slog. The MC pretends she's gay?? Ruins her grandmother's community connection for?? A man?? Blegh. Not to mention this has nothing to do with the list at all, that was thrown out in the 1st third. Asher is sort of interesting but they're not very cute. Def not a romCOM. too much drama with the best friend

Yes I do love Lyra so far. Simon needs to drink some of that Respect Women Juice, but I hope he'll learn or at least be respectful towards Lyra when they meet. Very interesting mystery already

This is already SO fun. Simon in my mind now looks like Qrow Branwen - handsome and snarky with a dark past, lover of women and danger, even some sort paranormal power?? Okay, I'll go with it, though I wanted something a bit more grounded. Interested to know more about Lyra, she seems great. I want a book all about her and Raina already

Not really sure how I feel about this one. It seems more drama heavy than romance. Though I've never read Sense and Sensibility. The two MCs seem like they don't spend almost any time together except a few scenes. It's more focused on their own dramas
