Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined by Stephenie Meyer


TITLE:  Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined
AUTHOR:  Meyer, Stephenie
GENRE:  Fiction/Supernatural
DATES READ:  11/5/2015 - 11/13/2015
MY RATING:  1/5

I got this because frankly... I was curious.  It's supposed to be the original Twilight story, only Bella's character is male and Edward's character is female.  Why not?
---
Twilight reimagined my tush!!  She literally went through, hit Ctrl [F] and changed "he" to "she" and vice versa.  And Beaufort as a name?  Really??  Get real.  I feel like this was just a money maker.

She should have just gender bent the main characters and left everything else alone.  It made no sense to gender bend everyone else, and it got really confusing really fast if you're familiar with the original books.

And the ending!!!  At least she changed that up a little bit.  But overall, I just don't understand.  From what I've heard, Meyer wanted to show that the romance would work either way; female vampire or male, but it just doesn't.  Make it from Edythe's point of view, at least.  Not recommended due to lack of imagination.

Will read and write soon!
