8 Reserved Gourmet KitchenAid must go on
Two Christmases ago, my aunt got me this book for my birthday. I was already plenty skeptical about Twilight because it was extremely overrated, but I figured I might as well give it a shot. So I did. That night, I started reading it. And I kept reading it. Finally, I finished it, and I had lost pretty much all faith in humanity.
What is it about this book that’s so friggin’ appealing? It’s absolutely terrible! The writing is mediocre, the story itself nearly bored me to tears (look, I LOVE vampire stories, but what the hell was this? Vampires that SPARKLE?

Everywhere I go, girls are constantly gushing over Edward and Bella’s love, saying it’s the sweetest thing they’ve ever read. GAG ME. There is no love OR chemistry between Bella Sue and Edward Stu. It revolves around lust, for God’s sake! What’s the reason Edward fell in love with Bella, exactly? Her
