New Moon

The first book in the series, Twilight, made me never want Bella and Edward's story to come to an end. So, when New Moon came out, I was ecstatic! I was thrilled that I would get to read on about all of the experiences the two of them had to face together. These books are truly unexplainable. They are THAT good.

Anyway, I started reading New Moon, and only a few chapters into the book, Edward leaves Bella because he thinks its better for her to be without him and live a normal life as if he had never existed. He took away all of her objects and possessions that would remind her of him, and he left. This literally crushed Bella. She wouldn't move, she wouldn't speak, and she rarely acknowledged anyone. Her life as she knew it was over.

But, soon enough, she was reunited with her old friend Jacob Black who lives down in La Push. Bella would visit him often. Going to Jacob's soon became her only activity. They would always hang out in his garage while he would work on fixing up an old car. Jacob easily became Bella's best friend. She was very grateful to have him around to keep her company after Edward had left her. Jacob was easy to talk to, and he lived on the edge and did dangerous things sometimes. When doing some of these dangerous activities with him, Bella learned that she would hear Edward's voice telling her to stop and to take care of herself. Bella needed to hear his voice so badly that she kept putting herself in these dangerous situations just so she could hear a couple of words from Edward's voice.

At some point, Edward didn't think he could handle being away from Bella anymore so he went to check in on her without her knowing. He saw how terribly miserable she was without him and he didn't know what to do. He was caught between doing the right thing and going back to his true love to spend forever with her. In the end, Edward and Bella are thankfully reunited. They now both knew that they would never ever leave each other again no matter how wrong their love is. They needed each other to survive.
