I didn't like Jacob in this book. I mean, I know he loves Bella but he didn't have to force himself on her.

I could forgive the first kiss. But the second kiss? No. And that was when she was engaged to Edward. And the fact that he was like, "KISS ME OR I'LL GO GET MYSELF KILLED." WTF. And the fact that Bella fell for that? Idiot.

And what 16 year old goes telling a girl he's her sun? Even Edward barely gets away with that kind of talk and he's got a 100 years on Jacob.

Bella is just super annoying. It really bugged me that she kept repeating that she was hurting because Jacob was hurting, his pain was her pain, she caused it, he was a part of her, yadda, yadda, yadda...

And she was like, so careful with the way she acted in regards to his feelings but she didn't even seem to give a shit about Edward's. Jacob would be all happy and then turn into an ass and get sad on her for being with Edward and she'd be mad at him and then see his stupid sad face and cave in to him. Because he was in pain. But hello, EDWARD WAS IN PAIN, TOO!!!! WTF. That shit pissed me off. She's hanging out with Jacob, who pretty much everyone knows is in love with her and she expects Edward not to be hurt by that? Geez.

It's like, you're causing the person that is supposedly IT for you, so much pain and yet you don't give a shit because your friend would be in pain if you didn't see him? That is messed up shit right there.

(And the fact that she would accept a gift from Jacob but refuse all the gifts Edward tried to give her. Like Edward said, it was unfair.)

And I really think Stephenie Meyer didn't need to go that route with Jacob and Bella. She could have just left it that they just loved each other like brother and sister and BFFs. There was no need for them to love each other in a romantic way.

Which is why I'm surprised Stephenie didn't make Jacob imprint on Bella. Now THAT would have been something. I probably would have stopped reading if she did.

Edward >>>> Jacob. He didn't make her choose between them unlike Jacob. He'd always told her (and Jacob) that as long as she wanted him around, he'd be there. And if she didn't, even though it'd pretty much kill him, he'd leave.

And the fact that Jacob was all acting like he loved her more because he was giving her up like the bible story? BULLSHIT, a-hole.

I just hope this triangle is really done with and there won't be any of it in the next book. Because if there is, UGH. I know Bella chose Edward and they're getting married. But knowing Bella, she'll probably find out Jacob ran away or something and feel the need to go find him and put him out of his misery. UGH.

Very much agreed with. Jacob was so annoying and immature in this book, like a little know-it-all younger brother. XD.gif
