OMFG, BREAKING DAWN! (now has cover art)

1. ENGAGED

NO ONE IS STARING AT YOU, I promised myself. No one is staring at you. No one is staring at you.

But, because I couldn't lie convincingly even to myself, I had to check.

As I sat waiting for one of the three traffic lights in town to turn
green, I peeked to the right — in her minivan, Mrs. Weber had turned
her whole torso in my direction. Her eyes bored into mine, and I
flinched back, wondering why she didn't drop her gaze or look ashamed.
It was still considered rude to stare at people, wasn't it? Didn't that
apply to me anymore?

Then I remembered that these windows were so darkly tinted that she
probably had no idea if it was even me in here, let alone that I'd
caught her looking. I tried to take some comfort in the fact that she
wasn't really staring at me, just the car.

My car. Sigh.

I glanced to the left and groaned. Two pedestrians were frozen on
the sidewalk, missing their chance to cross as they stared. Behind
them, Mr. Marshall was gawking through the plate glass window of his
little souvenir shop. At least he didn't have his nose pressed up
against the glass. Yet.

The light turned green and, in my hurry to escape, I stomped on the
gas pedal without thinking — the normal way I would have punched it to
get my ancient Chevy truck moving.

Engine snarling like a hunting panther, the car jolted forward so
fast that my body slammed into the black leather seat and my stomach
flattened against my spine.

''Arg!'' I gasped as I fumbled for the brake. Keeping my head, I
merely tapped the pedal. The car lurched to an absolute standstill
anyway.

I couldn't bear to look around at the reaction. If there had been
any doubt as to who was driving this car before, it was gone now. With
the toe of my shoe, I gently nudged the gas pedal down one half
millimeter, and the car shot forward again.

I managed to reach my goal, the gas station. If I hadn't been
running on vapors, I wouldn't have come into town at all. I was going
without a lot of things these days, like Pop-Tarts and shoelaces, to
avoid spending time in public.

Moving as if I were in a race, I got the hatch open, the cap off,
the card scanned, and the nozzle in the tank within seconds. Of course,
there was nothing I could do to make the numbers on the gauge pick up
the pace. They ticked by sluggishly, almost as if they were doing it
just to annoy me.
It wasn't bright out — a typically drizzly day in Forks, Washington
— but I still felt like a spotlight was trained on me, drawing
attention to the delicate ring on my left hand. At times like this,
sensing the eyes on my back, it felt as if the ring were pulsing like a
neon sign: Look at me, look at me.

It was stupid to be so self-conscious, and I knew that. Besides my
dad and mom, did it really matter what people were saying about my
engagement? About my new car? About my mysterious acceptance into an
Ivy League college? About the shiny black credit card that felt red-hot
in my back pocket right now?

''Yeah, who cares what they think,'' I muttered under my breath....

That was such a good book.. YAY.

OMG I love that freakn book best book in the whole freakn book i love the ending

To tell the truth, I am filled with nothing but the utmost contempt for this book. I was utterly disappointed with it.
Stephine went fangirl and it looked like she just threw together a bunch of random FAN FICTIONS! GRRR on her.

I was fine when Bella MIRACULOUSLY got pregnant.
I was fine when there were absolutely no complications whatsoever with her transformation.
I was fine that she didn't have to give up anything for her new life.
I was fine with Jacob imprinting on Renesme.
I was even fine that almost the entire fucking book centered around the birth and upbringing of Renesme.

But god damn it..when she spends about 8 chapters of the book building up to a supposedly MASSIVE fight with the Volturi and it turns out that it DOESN'T HAPPEN!?!? WT Holy F MAN??? They TALKED the Volturi to death!
I was expecting a wonderful finally to this series, one that i hoped would rival my love for even Harry Potters final one. And then she pulls of this peace of utter garbage? SOOOOOoooo NOT cool! /rant]

i know wut you mean but i loved the part of the end where edward could here bella's thoughts thats what i meant by i like the ending that fight part just ticked me off

I was so scared I thought they were all gonna die.

Are you kidding me edward wouldnt die but anyways i was really surprised that Bella handled herself so well after she became a vampire i thought she would have trouble for sure it was kind of disappointing.

hmm yeah well it was her "special" ability now, wasn't it? I still would have preferred a much cooler power
