Midnight Sun

No cap, nostalgia is a powerful influence. Just like every other teenage girl in 2009, I had pirated the first 12 chapters and was upset that they weren't going to be published. So naturally, as a rapidly approaching 30 year old adult, I pre-ordered this book as soon as it was announced. I know people like to pretend they have never fw Twilight, but I am not that person. I've read the series several times. Usually I pick it up when I don't feel inspired to read, and need that motivation to come back. Are the plot lines and characters amazing? No. Is the writing style of Stephenie Meyer delightful and addictive? Yes. Needless to say, I enjoyed myself while reading this book, even if I can't credit much to the merit of the actual story. Going in already knowing what would happen wasn't a deterrent. I liked learning a little bit more about the inner thoughts of the characters I've known for a decade. I wish Stephenie would write more individual books like The Host. It's still one of my favorite Sci-Fi romances. She has a knack for making 600 pages feel like 250 and I would like some more please. Also, the movies never happened, I've never seen them, nor will I ever.
