New Moon


"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me." (p.93)


There is not much that I can say about New Moon that hasn't already been said. This was my second time reading it (which I almost never do) and it had the same effect on me as the first. I read it last year and some I had forgotten. It's a story of love and of friendship. Stephenie Meyer did an amazing job delivering the emotion of this story. When Edward left, my body physically ached. Maybe it's because I've been there, I'm sure we've all been there. When he returned, I wasn't so quick to forget, to trust again. While he was gone, Jacob was her saving grace. Time passed, as it always does, and he was there to help her heal. Believe it or not, this story transcends time, but I believe that Ms. Meyer has told it in a unique and unforgettable way. (5.0/5.0)
