Midnight Sun is the first novel in the Twilight saga from Edward’s point of view. It is very interesting to see the story through Edward because he has so many conflicting thoughts about Bella and her well-being around him. I would suggest reading this book after you finish reading the entire Twilight saga because it will help patch up some holes left in the story after the last book. My favorite part of this story is Edward’s protectiveness towards Bella and she doesn’t even know it.
As you continue to read the story, you will notice a lot of ups and downs during America’s and Maxon relationship. They constantly fight and it’s almost as if nothing really happened in the second book because America decides to shut down. There wasn’t as much content in this book as the first one, but I will say it was pretty good. Again the author does a great job at writing it in the perspective of a girl who has a temper, you could really feel the anger inside of America when reading from her POV. And sometimes you just really want to punch Maxon in the face.
This book was really a crossover of The Bachelor and The Hunger Games. I loved reading it from America’s perspective and it’s funny how everyone else wants the crown or the prince but America doesn’t. I also love how Maxon has the ability to punish America for her manners and doings but he lets it go since every girl he’s ever met is polite and virtuous. Another thing that has caught my eye is that the first 3 books are about Maxon’s selection, and the covers are the same color of the American flag.

Romeo and Juliet, a classic for the ages. The “pair of star-crossed lovers” fall in love, but unfortunately their families are enemies. The lovers immediately want to get married after meeting, and they plan to get married the morning after they meet.
