Book 2 of the Twilight vampire/romance series, in which the vampire Edward his leave of our protagonist Bella, leaving her distraught in Oregon. And yes, this is a huge change from reading The Cole Protocol.
I’m reading the novel as part of a book exchange with my wife – I’m reading New Moon, she’s reading The Hobbit. This is round 2 of the book exchange; the first time around I read Twilight, she read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
