I am beyond thankful Stephanie released this finnished book to the world. I remember when the "draft" was leaked. I desperately read it online. I fell in love with twilight while I was a young teenager, before I knew anything about love & relationships. I'm now an adult with my own child & husband. I can tell the difference between real life & fantasy. There are real life relationships & fictional ones. So to the reviewers bashing this novel for it's "message" it's a fictional fantasy about vampires. It's not real life.
I don't find it lazy at all that Stephanie gave us Twilight from Edwards perspective. If you love to read & love the characters, why would anyone object to this? I couldn't put it down. Twilight is the comfort food of books. I will always revisit it when I need a little pick me up.
