Hahahaha, not really. I thought it was garbage, & I am so shocked at how many people love it (not even in the "this is crap but can't stop reading" sort of way)!!!
The kicker for me, in addition to all the other annoying stuff, was that it was just another tiresome vampire novel in which everyone is so ethereally pretty (& mostly white, too--although I've heard some discussion about her treatment of Native teens in later books, which seems to indicate she does at least something positive). Which... YAWN. Ethereally pretty people? Are boring as shit. In fiction & in real life.
