The first time I read this book when I was 16 I basically just sped through it for the Edward parts and didn’t really care about most of the book. But as an adult I think the best parts of the series are basically everything but the Edward storyline. Now, I appreciate the parts with Jacob! I still think Bella is a terrible friend, but I liked getting to know the LaPush crowd and see her actually get interested in things that weren't her boyfriend. I like getting the glimpses into the other vampires' backstory. And really, Bella would have been better off if Alice and Edward never showed up again!
