Ugh. I read the originals, so was expecting something that would make me feel cringy about the low-key misogyny that pervades these books, but "why does she need to exist" and internal dialogue about how to kill a young woman for pages and pages... it's so InCel it's killing me. I'll give it another chapter, but it hadn't occurred to me how much worse having a male at the center of this awful "love" story would be.

"While Jacob was still loading his father into the car." Ugh. I really feel like there's a less inhuman way of saying this. Like his dad is an inanimate object just because he's in a wheelchair.

Having read Lolita recently all I can think about is how Edward is like Humbert Humbert in his "reading" of Bella's emotions. He really does seem to be grooming her. I realize I tend to be a completist, but I still don't understand why I want to finish this book. "Want" may be the wrong word, because I'm looking at the two books I missed in this series and thinking "I should just get it over with and read them too."
