[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 953964"] I agree with the last part. But I do understand the reason this book is chosen above other, better written books. First; The angsty, argumentative, feisty, "chase me" love story has been done to death. I absolutely cannot count the number of books that center around the man tirelessly convincing the woman that he deserves a relationship with her. Now that really is a fantasy. No sane male would chase someone for 200 pages. It is very refreshing to have the two protagonists fall in love for the real reason we all do; chemistry! Love at first sight happens all the time. criteria as well, but there is nothing like instant attraction. Its heady, and well represented here. Its nice that she admits to what she feels right away. Thats one reason people are drawn to the story. Also there is almost no bogus inexplicable drama. Bella knows what she wants, and knows not to hurt people to get it. She never worries about BS stuff like Edward taking over her life. This odd worry appears in practically every romance book ever written. WHAT does it mean? I have never in my life thought anything that weird about a potential relationship. Its not very realistic. Who out there worries that a guy is too protective, too helpful, too aware of our needs or even too wealthy even? NO one. We all wish we got more help from our men, not less.
