Thanks to Parajunkee and Alison Can Read for hosting Follow Friday ever week! You girls are awesome!
This week's question:
Q: Have you had a character that disappointed you? One that you fell in love with and then “broke up” with later on in either the series or a stand-alone book? Tell us about him or her.
A: Ya know... I thought about the answer to this for a while before actually coming to answer it. And honestly? I just don't know. The only character I could even think of was Edward Cullen. I thought he was just the cat's meow at first. But then I re-read New Moon and completely changed my mind. He didn't deserve to be the one that got the girl in the end. He was a jerk. He deserved to be lonely and miserable. Instead, Bella, not really being the brightest crayon in the box, leaves Jacob (the guy who's actually BEEN THERE FOR HER the whole time and who is a complete and total awesome person) for the guy who told her she didn't belong in his world. That he didn't want her. Stupid girl.
If you all haven't yet, go check out Reasoning With Vampires for all the reasons Edward is not swoonworthy and Bella is just... Bella.
Can't wait to see ya'lls answers!

I'm not a huge fan of the series, but I did end up preferring Jacob to Edward in the end! Great answer. :)

Hi! It seems we are kindred spirits in the Edward Cullen turned us off fan club! In New moon he really ticked me off! Perfect looks aside (and thats debatable) he had SERIOUS issues. Ugh. I am MADMAMDMAD at Bella. BUT I'd love the immortality too. Plus he DID rectify himself (in her eyes) Even the NM movie made me mad..lolz..

Hmm. When I first read the Twilight series, I loved everything about them, including Edward. Then I reread them this summer and it was so hard to get through them.. I agree with you about Edward being a jerk. But I can't say I feel bad for Bella at all because she had a freaking mental collapse for months after he left and then went back with him. Grr... don't get me going. Anyway, I agree with you about Edward.
