Life & Death (by Stephenie Meyer)

Yes, I finally read the gender-swapped version of Twilight - starring Beau and Edythe, instead of Bella and Edward.

I think I've tried it once before, but it's a very weird experience at first - just trying to remember which characters are the equivalent of which other characters, and feeling like the characters are cut-and-paste copies of each other with weird names. But then as the book goes on, the characters start to feel different - especially Edythe - and then a new ending reaffirms that experience. I ended up really enjoying it. 

Honestly I loved Edythe way more than Edward, although I found Beau way more of a nonentity than Bella and really didn't see what Edythe saw in him. So I guess my ideal experience would be a lesbian novel about Edythe and Bella. Maybe Meyer can do that one next! And Kristin Stewart can star in it. No I don't care how old she is. Thank you for your consideration.
