Back in September, I blogged about how much I loved the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. As soon as I closed the last page, I immediately wanted to read the sequel, New Moon.
I had to wait a couple of months, but I just finished it last night. And it left me with the same feeling. I want to read the next book NOW. Alas, I’ll have to wait until Eclipse is released next fall. Sigh.
Stephenie has done what all of us writers long to do — create characters that readers fall in love with, feel like they know personally, care deeply about what happens to them. I’m in awe. I love Bella and Edward’s continuing story, but now I want to see Jacob, Bella’s best friend who feels more than friendship for her, have a happy ending too. The problem — Jacob and Edward are natural enemies. How will Bella be able to have happiness with her great love, Edward, and maintain her strong friendship with Jacob? I can’t wait to find out.
