I hear you. I thought Bella was so whiney and annoying. A few of my kids thought so too. But they enjoyed the books and the movie. I haven’t seen the entire movie yet.
A-MEN! After reading the first book, I sent an e-mail to my cousin and niece (weepy-swooners) exasperated that I was one who had to play the feminist. Edward was a stalker and too weak to stay away from a young damaged girl. I find it distrubing how many teens are finding this romantic.
