She doesn’t eat Beau.īeau makes a few moves on Edythe that Freaks. Seriously, why is she smiling all the time? You got something stuck in your teeth, Edythe? A dead boyfriend maybe? Kidding. Little details are different like Beau opening the door for Edythe and Edythe smiling all the time. But, I’m not going to lie – a lot of the book is copied and pasted. No, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart do not just switch lines. Readers will relish experiencing the deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful love story of Bella and Edward through fresh eyes.
