When she added the countdown I was expecting her to be like "SURPRISE! It's out now! % of sales to go towards coronavirus funds!" or something. Now, this sort of feels like just a plain ol cash grab...but still here for it! I totally agree with this. I used to love the books, 10 years ago I was obsessed with them, and I still hold a very positive memories of them, but I don't know if i'd like them now. So I'd be excited for seomthing new related to the series, but this feels like a cash grab. The chemist is one of my favourite books as well so I'd love to see more books by her that are not exclusively twilight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went back to read it a second time the writing quality isn’t great. I also feel like she’s releasing to compete with The Hunger Games. The writing is terrible. I asked for a beautifully made book set of the entire series for Christmas a few years ago. White book set with red symbols on the front covers. Asked for it, started reading Twilight and couldnt get through the first 100 pages. Terribly written. I need more than that from a book 😫 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to look into it That's how I feel too, I have really fun memories of Twilight. It was a ~big~ deal to my teenager self and I'd be kidding myself if I didn't say I was sort of excited to read this..even though I may not even enjoy it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight got a lot of YA readers into reading in the early 2000s - me being one of them. It was my gateway to longer and more complex books. Leave people alone and let them read their trashy books. (And yes, I did save my Edward sweatshirt from 2008 Hot Topic in case of an emergency.) I have my Jacob t-shirt from hot topic a as well (even though it doesn’t fit anymore ) TMBT 3.22.11 // TBTWB 1.17.13 // ArtRAVE 6.3.14 // C2CT 5.28.15 // TJWT 8.13.17 // Chromatica World Tour 9.8.22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to look into it It's totally different from Twilight, but I still loved it. IMO the best part of the book was how she left random details scattered through the book that seemed meaningless, but at the end they all came together to build the ending. A lot of people here have been saying she has a bad writing style and well I read the catalan translation so I can't tell you anything about the writing in the original version. But i did not have this feeling at all. I actually felt like it was written a lot better than the twilight saga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel exactly the same! My 15-year-old self would be soooo exited and over moon about this lmao. Wonder if she realizes that she is more than 10 years late with her "suprise" I can remember having already cringed hard when I went through the last book and I think I could not even bring me to finish the last movie Nevertheless I, too, associate many memories and a great time back in my teens with the series.

Thought her fanbase who is now older have moved on to that Fifty Shades series and more. And Fifty Shades started out as racy Twilight fan fiction, which is why there are so many parallels between the characters. (But Fifty Shades is even more poorly written, not to mention, the author sucks at writing sex scenes – not very realistic.) Anyway, at this rate, we only have to wait about 10 years for that other "Stefani," aka Ms. Germanotta, to release her work that also leaked. #Chromatica2030 She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
