I was dating a woman at the time who bought me all the books and insisted I read them.

The idea is solid. There are even a few interesting scenes. But the love story and everything else is just so vapid. I still don't know why they fell in love besides her finding him good looking and her smelling good to him.

In the hands of a better writer....

There really is no depth to be seen. I feel like Meyer tried to accomplish... something with the whole 'Edward used to kill people, but he only killed people who deserved to die' but it didn't add anything interesting to the character or the dynamic between him and other characters.

It's just two bland nothing-characters involved in a bland nothing-story with a few grains of interesting-adjacent content sprinkled on top
