After a member of Edward’s blood thirsty family is tempted by Bella’s blood, the Cullens decide to leave Forks and Edward breaks up with Bella in order to further “protect her”. Bella falls into a deep depression, and her father encourages her to start spending time with Jacob Black, a family friend. As Bella and Jacob become closer, Bella slowly emerges from her depression, especially when she discovers that when she does dangerous things, she can conjure up Edward’s voice in her mind. Soon Jacob replaces Edward as Bella’s savior and protector and falls in love with this girl who can’t make it without a man, not even for one book. And besides the obvious advantages of a romantic partnership with Jacob (hello! he’s warm!) over Edward, the superficial Bella can’t get over her devastatingly gorgeous vampire ex-boyfriend. The second installation is a better read than the first, in that there is less of Edward, who is boring and controlling, and more of Jacob, who is the first relatable character in the series.
