I don’t think I’m alone in that sentiment. I hadn’t read something that so completely captured me in a long time, and that opened up a door to so many other books, and to entire career. I finished the first book in about five hours and ran out to buy the rest of the series. Somehow, I had missed the entire Twilight craze, but when my mom saw a segment on the Today Show, I bought a copy of the first book, completely intending to hate it. I dove headfirst into young adult novels when I was in college, which just happened to be the time when Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer came out.


My mom is more of an Agatha Christie reader, so I wasn’t introduced to romance as a genre until much later. I didn’t grow up smuggling my mom’s romances and reading them under the covers.
