[quote=""EC2""] I think it definitely catches those first feelings of adolescent yearning in a very powerful way, and that is part of its success.[/quote]
I agree, which is why it didn't bother that she went on and on about how perfect and gorgeous Edward was. I'm sure we all remember how it feels to love completely, without any caution and be swept up in a kind of love that completely envelopes you where you eat, sleep, and breathe it. Of course, this is before you've ever had your heart broken or know what it's like to be dissapointed by love!! The novel was about a teenage girl falling in love for the very first time so I thought her gushing over Edward was entirely appropriate.
