Moving to a new town is tough. You have to make new friends, deal with new teachers (and old curriculum), and start dating anew. It's even harder when you hate the rain and the cold and your new town if Forks, WA. Bella is dealing with just that when she decides to move in with her dad so her mom can travel with her boyfriend. A new girl in the high school in Forks doesn't happen very often so when she arrives everyone welcomes her graciously (mostly out of curiosity for the anomaly). The boys swarm her and practically throw themselves at her. The girls, too, adore Bella. But one person pays particular attention to her, in the worst way possible. He seems to hate her. He doesn't even know her and he hates her. His hatred for her is obvious, but no one knows his reasoning. However, his hatred is quickly turned into love, and his love for her is just as strong as his hatred was. Why he hates her and even why he loves her happen to be along the same lines - reasons you'll have to find out by reading the book.
This book seems to release two audiences - those who absolutely LOVE it and go to bed wishing they didn't have to fall asleep. And those who HATE it with their very being. The two polar opposites seem to think that their opinion of the book (and the series that follow it) is the only correct opinion and they will fight anyone who opposes them to the death. But I will openly admit, I am in the middle. I'm a fence sitter and neither side will ever pull me down. Although I lean more toward "hate" on the three novels that follow Twilight, I am dead center for the first. It really was a fun read. I was constantly engaged and it drew a fair amount of emotion from me. But the cheesiness and the hype keeps me in the center. I would not recommend it or NOT recommend it. I am Switzerland.
