I liked getting to know Bella through Edward's perspective too, much more than I thought I would. I'm happy with all of the changes Stephenie added in, like Bella actually naming the album Phil gave her as well as naming her favorite songs. It was great to receive so many more details about these vampires which made them feel so much more grounded and ironically, human. I also love receiving more history of Cullens in general. I have very much enjoyed Edward's point of view and it really helped flesh out the decisions he made in this story. But I also feel like Stephenie Meyer's writing has matured so beautifully as well. I know this is partially due to to receiving the same story from a different perspective as well as Edward being a much more mature, though still flawed, character. While it is still very much that, I've found this version of Twilight to have so much more depth. Coming back to this story as a fully grown adult I was expecting the same 'love concurs all' teen romance.
