Summary Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1) by Stephenie Meyer

Bella Swan moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula to live with her father, Charlie. Her mother, Renée is traveling with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player. Bella attracts much attention at her new school and makes friends quickly. A shy girl, she is dismayed by several boys competing for her attention.

When Bella is seated next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, he seems repulsed by her. He disappears for a few days, but warms up to Bella upon his return; their newfound relationship reaches a climax after Bella is nearly crushed by Tyler's van in the school parking lot. Edward saves Bella, stopping the van with only his hand.

Bella annoys Edward with questions about how he saved her life. She hears that Edward and his family are vampires who drink animal blood. She is told legends of the local Quilyeute people by fellow student Jacob Black (a character who becomes more important in the later books in the series). Bella is saved by Edward again in Port Angeles when she is almost attacked. Driving a silver Volvo, Edward takes Bella to dinner and home. As they drive, she tells him of the stories that he is a vampire. Edward says he tried to stay away, finding her scent too desirable. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love.

Their relationship is affected when a nomad vampire coven arrives in Forks. James, a tracker vampire who is intrigued by Cullens' relationship with a human, wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullen family try to separate Bella and Edward, and send Bella to Phoenix to hide in a hotel. James calls and claims to be holding her mother. When Bella surrenders, James attacks her. Before he can kill her, Edward and other Cullens rescue her and destroy James. He still attacks the girl. Edward prevents her from becoming a vampire, and she is treated at a hospital. After they return to Forks, they go to the school prom together. Bella says she wants to become a vampire, but Edward won't help.

Bella's desire to become a vampire increases throughout the series. Edward continues to refuse as he hates being immortal and does not want Bella to suffer the same fate.

As a guilty pleasure, it delivers drama and romance. Yet, the repetitive prose and questionable character dynamics make it a divisive choice.
