Dominique Edwards- Twilight Book Review

A love that could never last
Dominique Edwards

Twilight
By Stephenie Meyer

Have you ever had a weird feeling about a person?

Bella is a teenage girl with divorced parents. She lives with her mom in Phoenix Arizona but has to move to Washington to live with her dad who is a policeman. Bella doesn't really have a quality relationship with her dad yet she moves there so that her mom can be happy with her new boyfriend. When she goes to the new school, she notices a kid Edward stares at her constantly and acts strange around her, keeping a distance from her and barely making conversation. Bella notices his strange behavior and seriously begins to question it. Over time Edward genuinely seems to care for her and the two become close almost to a point of romance which is evident as they say things such as "you are my life now" however Edwards strange behavior remains. After research on history of the town and Edwards family, Bella has a theory about Edward that later in the book she finds out to be true which was that "Edward was a Vampire"

I have enjoyed this book so far and I am recommending this book to people but its not for all audiences. Its definitely not a book all would enjoy but i think majority of people would enjoy it because its a connection to daily life of teenagers, romance, and fiction.

Reasons this book spoke to me were just about the same reasons i would recommend the book. One reason is because I myself am a teenager and i can relate to the things that happen to Bella in her daily high school life drama for example when things are said such as "you should really stay away from him" about boys someone might be interested in. As far as the romance in the novel goes, i am always intrigued by romance and find romance stories enjoyable so that aspect of the book definitely drew me in more. As far as the fiction aspect, i am usually not a huge fan of vampire stories but this was very well written and i actually enjoyed it more than other pieces of writing under the same genre.

I really connected with the main character of this book because she was the same gender, and is in the same position in life as I am. It was nice to see things from another persons perspective and to be in another persons shoes. I had never read about this type of fiction before and i had always found it to be not interesting but this book definitely changed my perspective on the genre.

I recommend this book for anyone who likes drama filled stories. This book has a lot of drama and thrilling things that happen and they keep you wanting to read more and more. For anyone who has seen the movie the book is just as good if not better and I 100% would recommend it. Also for anyone who likes vampires or enjoys stories involving them this would be a good book because the whole book shows the struggle of falling in love with a vampire and the drastic lifestyle they have.
