 Midnight Sun apart, it was always my favourite book in the saga but on the re-read, and perhaps with the hindrance of knowing what was to come, I found myself enjoying it less and annoyed more with it. I'm not going to beat around the bush - I'm 100% Team Edward and hate the whole Bella/Jacob thing but I actually really liked Jacob in New Moon both in the first read and at times in the re-read but on the re-read I actually kinda hated Bella and her selfishness. This is one of my main gripes with first person pov writing - when the character does something you can't come up with reasons to justify it because the motivation is laid out there. I'm not saying it never works, because it does but I think the clinging to Jacob with the sole motivation of feeling better, while perhaps an understandably human response, felt odd because we witness her being aware of how different his feelings are from her own and not really doing much to dissuade him because she doesn't want to risk losing him. Maybe I'm biased, but I would have liked to think she wasn't that aware in that regard to avoid the selfishness and I fully admit part of it was probably because of my Eclipse issues that I saw coming this time and didn't when I read it first time but yeah - post-woods to pre-Italy part of the book wasn't as fun as it was first time around. I did still love the break up scene (actually gets sadder) and the reunion and post Italy B/E talks but yeah. I'm kinda sad that I liked the book a little less.
