REVIEW: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
Dear Ms. Meyer:
This was a greatly anticipated book. Twilight, the prequel, was my 2005 book of the year. New Moon, however delightful it was, seemed to throw all of the faults of Bella in sharp relief. You portrayed her, either intentionally or not, as a selfish user who seemed to only be able to exist with the help of a man in her life. It seemed ironic that her ability to cope with life so closely paralleled her mother’s which Bella, and you, appear to decry.
The story opens with Bella celebrating her birthday with the Cullens, a family of vampires. Edward Cullen, a perpetual 17 years of age, is Bella’s soul mate. He is a vampire, though, and while Bella longs to be one, Edward refuses to change her as he believes it would rob her of her soul. During the party, Bella cuts a finger on wrapping paper. The smell of her fresh blood is too much and Edward is forced to shield her from family members. This event causes Edward to believe that his presence does Bella more harm than good. In true romance fashion, Edward paternalistically decides that removal of his presence from Bella’s is the only answer to keeping Bella alive.
Bella is destroyed. She sinks into a deep depression and is only able to rise from it with the help of of Jacob Black, whom Bella terms a good friend. She understands that she is using Jacob but cannot seem to help herself. She revels in the warmth and goodness Jacob exudes. She convinces herself that this is what Jacob wants even knowing that Jacob’s feelings toward her run so much deeper. Jacob Black is young member of a local Native American tribe. I am not giving anything away (at least it was included in the Booklist review) when I say that Jacob Black’s tribe has ties with werewolves. Unlike the fully developed vampire mythos, the world building for the werewolves is sophmoric at best. There is no explanation as to why there are no old werewolves around, how they change (I think it is blood related), whether they have special needs, and so on.
Bella’s climb from the pit is also marked by a desperate recklessness. She engages in increasingly reckless acts because she hears Edward’s voice when she does so. The origin of the voice is unclear. I wasn’t sure whether this part of the book was to depict teenage suicidal ideation, the use of drugs, or was simply an unsure narrator trying to be emotive. It didn’t appear organic to Bella’s previous characterizations. You had portrayed her as steady, a bit emotional, but steady. I couldn’t help but wonder if this part of the plot was an attempt to shoehorn Edward into a story when you knew so many of your fans loved him?
You refer the Romeo and Juliet theme with the idea that Edward and Bella are star crossed lovers and that perhaps in the retelling Romeo should return to Rosalind and Juliet should get on with her life with Paris. Maybe if that was the route you were truly going to take, I wouldn’t feel so disappointed. But the book takes a sharp turn when Edward reappears toward the latter quarter of the book. The ending suspense plot seemed rushed and tacked on, as if someone reminded you that the success of the first book rode on the back of the romance of Edward and Bella. It was really as if there were two books, or two stories, included in New Moon and neither of them were finished.
For all my disappointment, New Moon zips by and leaves me wanting more. It is engaging and unique but flawed. It’s not one that I will be re-reading anytime soon. B- for New Moon.
Best regards,
Jane
I read and loved Twilight and have been anxiously awaiting this book. Now I’m not so sure I want to read it. I guess I expected more of Edward and Bella together, but I have to remind myself that this is YA not a romance.
Me too. I was shocked to see that so little of the book was about Edward and Bella given that Stephenie Meyer hosts “We Love Edward Cullen” parties. Hopefully, we’ll return to more Edward/Bella in the next book.
I chose Twilight for a summer reading book. Now to complete the project, I need to know the theme of the book. Thank you.
I would also like to day that Twilight was the best book ever. I read it in about three hours, because i couldnt stop reading it. I actually wished that i didnt read fast, so i could have read it longer. I loved it.
I disagree with you Jane! You missed the charachter building that gave this couple a sure foundations for Stephenie’s upcoming book Eclipse. Bella needed to gain some character and strength on her own. As for her other traits, perhaps selflessness may always appear weak, but it regulates great strength – more than most choose to develop. Bella is full of goodness, kindness, and selflessness, anyone can be poor minded, rude, or selfish- now that is the easy road to travel. We could use more Bella’s, like what we’ll see at the end of this series as she develops and grows.
Kim – thanks for your opinion. I wanted to like Bella more but even as I re-read the book for the review, it struck me how much Bella used people to satiate her own emotional needs. If I was a mother of a boy like Jacob, I would not want him to date a girl like Bella. But every reader will have a different reaction and mine is not more valid than yours.
Thanks for replying Jane. I can see why your frustrated with Jacob Black being hurt, I was too. I was grateful that Bella was always still honest with him, but my biggest heartache was for Jacob. I am amazed their not real people, because after reading the book (I having felt many of their emotions) am in awe how Stephenie pulls emotions out from the page. When I said I disagreed with what you said I should have been more explicit. First it is blood relations in reguards to the werewolves, and vampires being around that make them turn at a certain age, otherwise they would never turn. You have to admit Edward and Jacob are quite the duo (trouble in the making). I think what upset me the most was when you brought up drugs and suicide. On page 110 Bella is asked if Suicidal and she is definately not and even states never would consider it. On page 124 She comes to turns with not wanting to be a zombie. I think you and I have never mourned like that, but it was amazing to see how terrible she felt and watch her self preservation to come away from zombie land. On page 125 you see why she becomes recless, for once she stands up and feels something (not necessarily good) but tired of being the only one keeping bargains…like with Edward who left barely existing and she was still keeping his bargain. I do think we heard Edwards voice to keep him near the reader. I imagine Edward fell apart as soon as he left, he’s doing it to protect her you know. I recommend everyone take this book in stride, it is not Twilight, but it is the means to carrying us to Eclipse. I have heard the author say that her favorite book so far is Eclipse and that this story has existed in her mind from start to finish. We will be happy in the end, but as all extraordinary couples it takes hardship and test to make them sure footed. Thanks Jane for letting me comment! – A friend who really feels for Jacob too!

Kim, I appreciate your view of Bella but what she said “I’m not suicidal” as compared to what she did – throwing herself off a cliff into a river below – seemed quite contradictory. It wasn’t the depth of her despair that I thought was offputting but the way in which she handled them. It was never clearly explained how she had the voice of Edward in her mind. After all, it is said that no vampire can read Bella’s mind so how it was that Edward could communicate with her when Bella became increasingly reckless seemed non organic.
Further, why Bella should feel any compulsion to want a) to fulfill her bargin with Edward and b) why she should feel the need for Edward to bless her union with Jacob when Edward dismissed her. He told her he had no feelings for her. Bella treated her relationship with Edward as if he had died instead of left her and that was just inconsistent. Meyer told us reader a lot of things that were inconsistent with the characters actions which is why the book did not work for me.
I will definitely read the third book and Twilight is still a favorite of mine, but its wondrousness was slightly diminished with this installment.
TWILIGHT was also my favorite book of 2005, and to say I was eagerly anticipating NEW MOON, is well, quite the understatement. I read it in one sitting and was totally caught up in it…but I didn’t *love* it like I loved TWILIGHT. But that was okay–I sort of felt like it was a ‘transition’ book (like The Two Towers–okay, so it’s *not* like the Two Towers, but I hope you see what I mean), and I viewed it as thus. I think, like other commenters, my main gripe was the absence of Edward in the book. I adore Edward, and there just wasn’t a lot of him in NEW MOON. I didn’t particularly have problems with Bella, though–I remember going through a break-up at the end of my senior year in high school, and, well, it was pretty intense. We got back together after a couple of weeks, but I would say I was pretty much in a stupor during that time, not eating, not fully functioning. Maybe it was because I came into this book with that personal memory, but I was able to buy Bella’s depression (I mean, Edward is a BILLION times more exciting and desirable than that blah ex-boyfriend of mine, and look how I moped!) and I figured she was pretty honest with Jacob all along. I guess I also noticed that the werewolf storyline seemed less developed, but since it was sort of secondary–and since I didn’t care all that much, I just wanted my Edward back!–it didn’t particularly decrease my enjoyment of the book. If forced to give a grade, I guess I’d say B+/A-, whereas TWILIGHT was a firm A+ for me.

I understand your frustration with how Bella seems to be using those around her, but she was very honest to Jacob. Her only battles in feelings for him were whether she should move on in her life – and would it be fare to him-they never kissed and I was glad because she was still indecisive when the moment arose. At a book signing I asked about Jacob, it will take time, but he will end up better for the ware (it sounded like anyway). I understand your disgust with woman basing their self esteem on whether a guy is in their life or not. I’ve met many of those and it is sad, but remember Bella has never based her self esteem on boys and is new to relationships. Sure Bella for the first time was an obsessive teenager, new emotions for her to experience, new understanding for her mother-she does do stupid things-but jumping off the cliff, it was suppose to be safe, at least livable- she was unaware of the tide.
As emotional as this book is I have decided to be engaged in enjoying the authors way of writing, the characters introduced (the vulturine’s seemed cool), and many enlightments. I agree it was hard not to get another Twilight after so much anticipation, but this book is it’s own journey. Loved at the end her fear for her father when she’s standing between a vampire and werewolf. You have to admit, once again it’s very clever. Here’s a few of my thoughts in requards to yours:
1.Bella had to mourn first, and then she found the voice that felt no loyalty to a broken bargain, hence all the careless things you didn’t like.) and
2.I don’t think she wanted more from Jacob than friendship, she enjoyed the touch of his hand as she would a brother in not being alone. She didn’t want to loose the friendship and had become very dependant and was on a constant fork in the road-do I move on-do I not
3.When Edward told her he had no feelings for her…you believed him just like Bella? I can understand, here’s a thought, when I went to the book signing Stephenie read a little Midnight Sun to us, the book where you hear Twilight through Edwards point of view, it’s amazing his thought process for what he chooses to say, he seems to be a thinker always hoping to not be selfish and say what he wants to , but to say what keeps her safe, if you get to a booksigning, I bet she will read a section to the group. I almost wish that came out first because I think everyone would understand Edwards overwhelming love and desire to be selfless and choose what he thinks is best for Bella, he really struggles feeling selfish for not being able to walk away.
4.Your comment that Bella treated her relationship with Edward as if he had died instead of left her and that was just inconsistent. (She felt like he had died, no memories-did he even exist-she showed strength in fighting pondering on him, but her dreams wouldn’t leave her alone. Not ever seeing someone again would feel like death just as much as just leaving and thinking you were never seeing him again.)
Amazing writing skills to draw us in like this, something to think about…the author has effected people deeply, we are moved for better or worse-some people are easily forgiving for Edward and others hard to forgive-but everyone missed Edward, why?-because the author made everyone love him…Everyone cried for Jacob, why?- because she made us feel for him…Everyone felt his pain – tremendous writing. The author wrote to an audience who won’t touch heartbreak (leaves reality behind) or eats it up. She wrote to an audience who loves to laugh at ourselves when awkward or mortified with imperfection. The books have sought out all audiences…to me that says allot-and were all hooked . We will love all the characters more in the end because we have loved with them, suffered with them, and laughed at them. May Eclipse make all of her audiences smile!
i think this book is amazing…i can’t wait for the next one to come out! I am 14 years old and love the portray of this girl. Keep up the good work Stephenie!
i finsihed twilight wanting much more. i never wanted the book to end. i could not wait for New Moon to come out and when it finally did i was ecstatic. I love this serious so much i finsihed each book in one day. i Love them, I cant wait for the next one so try and make it sooner rather then later. i really want to find out wether she ging to turn to a vampire and what will happen with her relatioship with Jake. cant wait love the books and whoever doesnt well they are plan weird. hehe
wow! Twilight and New Moon are defdently 2 of my all-time favorite books! New Moon is the first book i ever cried while reading! :*( it was amzing! except the ending!
i cant wait to find out what happens to Bella and Edward! and poor Jake – but she was truthful to him, she said she only wanted to be friends.
I could not put this book down, i got in trouble a couple times for read until the *am’s*
Is there going to be a third book? I dont know if ill be able to wait!
Bella’s dramatic actions in the book are very much needed, you implied that this was not following her steady nature, but what many people need to realize is that Bella needed this surge of feelings, and actions to push the character into the light, giving her a more realistic nature. Bella is not the simple character most people see her as, there are times when she is selfish, stubborn, eccentric, needy and dare I say it a bitch. She often uses others to exist, we can see this in the first book Twilight, she uses Jess, Angela, Mike and even to an extent Edward. I’m not saying you opinions are wrong I’m just suggesting you look at Bella’s character before deciding that she is not prone to dramatic feats like suicide….who knows she may not be the sweetly innocent character we all thought she was in the first place.

Dear Jane,
I would just like to say first of all that your reivew of New Moon is a masterful summary of the story’s key plot events. There are several point that I agree with you on, 1. Bella exhibiting selfish behavior and 2. Bella’s dependency on others. However, I also feel that these two characteristics are exactly what makes Bella a HUMAN character.
When Edward leaves, he is doing it for Bella’s own good. He is not leaving to rip out her heart, disconnect her lungs, nor destroy her sanity. He is leaving to save her soul. When he leaves her, he ends up curled in a ball somewhere in South America, thinking to himself, “If only I could go back…no. I won’t go back.”
On the Twilight Lexicon, Stephenie Meyers made a comment to the effect of, “Edward would put himself through Hell to save Bella’s soul” and I believe it.
I believe that New Moon was written to test Bella and Edward’s love and to prove how pathetic they are without the other. I also think that Jacob Black deserved BETTER than Bella Swan. He needs a woman who will calm him, not infuriate him into phasing. He is a gentle and loving man that deserves someone who isn’t broken and taken.
Sometimes, boys do not understand “Only Friends” And when they cannot understand, they end up hurt. Bella tells Jacob that they can be nothing more; that holding hands, hugging, and sitting close all means something different to her than to him. His response is a simple, “That’s my problem.”
Keep in mind that Jacob did his share of hurting Bella too. Remember the ending? Jacob broke his promises. He chose the pack over her, and does not understand nor support the man that truly makes her happy. For better or for worse, its going to be Bella and Edward forever.
My feeling with this is that if a girl knows that a boy has feelings for her, the “just friends” talk is not working. And while it is Jacob’s problem, Bella didn’t hesitate to continue to use him to receive comfort and affection even KNOWING Jacob’s true feelings. To me, that is a very selfish act.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Edward/Bella pairing but Bella has lost a lot of her luster in this story. I’ll still buy the final entry in this trilogy.
i loved twilight, but new moon was i bit of disapointment cuz i wanted to see more of the relationship between bella and EDWARD. not about werewolves. it was still pretty good book and i still want 2 read the next book. when is meyer gonna publish midnight sun? i read the 1st chapter and it’s really good!
I really hope that she finds a way to make more then just eclipse just one more because these books are so amazing i want at least one more before midnight sun! Im in love with edward! I hope that she does put the extra things into a 4th story that would be amazing i love it so much ive read twilight 5 times and new moon 7! I just dont want to stop reading this amazing series
I have read both Twilight and New Moon. I read both of them within a 4 day time period. After having some discussions with some of my students, who I have also got addicted to the books, I feel that New Moon was an important part of the story. I agree with Jane on some of her feelings about Bella. Bella did not impress me as much in New Moon as she did in Twilight. I also felt that she is somewhat dependent on a male -any male-for her “salvation” in life. First Edward, then Jacob, and then Edward again. I was equally dissapointed in the lack of Edward. But I also think that the details surrounding Bella and Jake’s friendship needed to be explained. I think that this will be EXTRA important in the third and possibly fourth book (according the Mrs. Meyer’s website). I think that the tug between a best friend-a tie that will always bind-and true love will play a very important role in the next book. Remember the dream that Bella had with Jacob and Edward. In order to explain this tie, Mrs. Meyer had to include a large portion of how Bella and Jacob came to the place at which their friendship is at. If this was not explained, then I think that the thrid book would be just a lot of questions. I was not dissapointed in the book as whole though. I felt that the book just brought the reader in closer to the characters and the plot.
ParisFrance – I honestly don’t remember the dream to which you refer. :) It’s been a while. I will definitely read the next book but was just disappointed in where the author took me in Twilight.
The dream to which I am refering to is in Twilight when Bella is on the beach in LaPush. She is dreaming about Edward and a werewolf attacking him. She has a very similar dream in New Moon. I think that this dream is going to be an important factor in the next book.
hey i’m a big fan i have new moon and twlight and i wanted to know when it was again that eclipse comes out and when twlight the movie comes to video too your my favorite and you’ve inspired me to right a book called twisted well and ways e-mail me back
I presonally loved both books dearly although i felt that New Moon was almost the same story as the first but only with jacob and the werewolves. I still can’t wait until your following books come out. I truely am in love with edward-lol-but i would just die to have him breath into my ear!!!
Best wishes
I completely agree with you Jane. I had been looking forward to this new installment so much, and then when it came out I was disappointed. Like you said, it would have ended better had Juliet ended up with Paris and Romeo went back to Rosalind. But then suddenly Edward’s back, and that sort of reminds us that he’s a character in the book. I didn’t enjoy reading about Bella trying to be reckless because, although she said many times that she was not “suicidal”, to the audience, she was. By the end of the book I realized that we had not found out as much information as we had in the first book. In New Moon we discover that a)Jacob is a werewolf (and, might I add, it wasn’t even in a shocking HE’S A WEREWOLF type of way) b)more info on the Volturi c)a bit of Edward’s past and d) (although it hardly counts as information) that Bella and Edward are soul mates and can’t live without each other. I honestly couldn’t find…the goal in the book. What was the point of it?
I really felt for Jacob. He was probably my second favorite character (after Edward of course) because of his werewolfy huskiness. But Bella really kind of chopped him off once Edward was back in the scene.
All in all, New Moon was definitely not as good as Twilight, but hopefully Bella will turn into a vampire in the third book, which is probably the only way to keep the audience’s interest.
Twilight and New Moon. There is one chapter of Midnight Sun available on Meyer’s website. It is the first chapter of Edward’s POV.
If you visit Stephenie Meyer’s site, and click on the “Sequels” tab, then she gives you the names of her sequels. I think the titles of her two next sequels for Twilight are called “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn”. And then there is also Twilight written from Edward’s point of view which is called Midnight Sun.
Hope that helps!
Generally, when books by an author are released on a yearly basis, the release date is the same. I would plan to see the next entry in bookstores in late August, early September.
Sorry. I don’t know. I hope to get a copy sometime for review but that isn’t likely to be until the spring or later. :)
No, but if you go to Ms. Meyer’s website, she has a link to the first chapter of Midnight Sun which tells the story from Edward’s POV. She also has some deleted scenes which are fun to read.
Twilight was my favorite. Maybe I’m too old to relate! LOL
Have you ladies and girls read Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause? I think that anyone who liked Twilight/New Moon would like this book.
How about Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn? It doesn’t feature the paranormal but is a great young adult romance.
This was a very good book review, but I must disagree with you on some points, e.g.,
1. I can understand Bella’s deep depression, I was almost depressed when I looked down at the page number(380) and Edward was still not part of the book.
2. In paragraph 4 you stated that Mrs. Meyer was trying to confront the issue of teen suicidal behavior, when it was very clear that Bella was trying to approach her recreational side, and she was also trying to cause the hallucinations that she longed for.
But, I can also relate to you on some points.
1. The book went far, far, too long without having Edward in the story, and I think , no offense Mrs. Meyer, that the plot was wasted by not having Edward in more than one quarter of the book.
Overall, your interpretation of the novel is outstanding, and I guess that all of our opinions are different.
Jane the books that you mentioned were great!! I’ve had a hard time being patient for the next book in the Twilight series to come out . So I was glad that I took your advice about reading those books. I would love to know if there are any more books that you think of . I’d be interested to know about them. Anyway thanks again for suggesting those books:)
Ohh, I love giving recommendations. Hmm. How old are you all? and are we still talking paranormals? God there is one really awesome, but older YA book that I can’t recall right now. Let me think about this. Give me some guidelines. Do you want fantasy? Does it need to have romance? Does your mom allow you to read sex scenes?? Because my mother was totally against that when I was a teen and I don’t want anyone’s mother getting mad at me. (I am a mom myself).
Jane, I feel just a little sheepish saying that I’m probably one of the oldest responders on this review sight. I’m 22. So, I don’t think that my mom is an issue in what I read anymore. Though she thinks I’m morbid for the books that I choose to read. Fantasy, mystery, parnormal ( not to out there though) ,and romance is definitly a plus. I read Blood and Chocolate and Summers at Castle Auburn. I enjoyed both books very much!! Oh, I don’t like sci-fi thrillers to much. Example: books that take place in the future, have different planets with aliens that invade, or take over the human body (crap like that). It doesn’t really appeal to me. I was so glad that you responded so quick. I don’t get to get on the computer everyday but I thought that I might check one more time to see if you did catch my comment .Well enough said I don’t want to bore you to death. Hope you have some suggestions.
Let’s see. I love Meg Cabot’s books. Have you read either the Mediator series or the Lightning series? Loved Avalon High which is kind of a modern day Arthur series. Her Heather Wells mystery series are also beyond fun.
I love, love, love Sharon Shinn and her most recent series – the Twelve Houses is beautifully written. Mystic and Rider, The Thirteenth House, and Dark Moon Defender. The Thirteenth House is kind of tragic though. DMD is terribly romantic and the male characters are really TDF (to die for). She also has the Truthteller’s Tale and the SafeKeeper’s Secret.
For older readers, like Jo (who is so young I could be her mother, sigh ;)), I think Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead, Demon Angel by Meljean Brook, the Nalini Singh books (Slave to Sensation and Visions of Heat). These would all be R rated because of explicit sex. Also the Elizabeth Vaughan trilogy, Warprize, warsworn and Warlord.
Sorcery and Cecelia by Patricia Wrede.
I’ve got some more but I have to rifle through my shelf.
Sarah Dessen is one of my favorite all time writers. Just Listen would be my favorite book she has written. Wes, Saa-woon. :)
Gail Giles – What Happened to Cass McBride was chilling.
Robin McKinley – Beauty – it is a retelling of the Beauty and the Beast
Juliet Marillier’s – Daughter of the Forest – a retelling of the Sister and the Six Swan’s fairy tale. Very romantic. Made me cry.
Holly Black – Tithe
Libba Bray – A Great and Terrible Beauty
I think I’m tapped out. Come back when you need more recommendations!
Jane, you sent me a copy of this book as a prize for commenting on your blog last year. I’m not a big fan of vampire stories, and I knew I’d have to read (and buy) the first one first (being the anal retentive that I am about series).
So this book sat on my TBR pile for a long time. I got the first book, but still wasn’t in the mood for vampires.
Finally, I read them this week. I was absolutely … enchanted? … by Twilight! What a wonderful story! Bella was so real it was easy to get in her corner.
I’ll admit, I had a problem with Edward being older than Bell – even though they look the same age. But I decided, since he’d had no real relationships outside of his “family”, that I could close my eyes to this and think of his “emotional age” as being closer to hers (and in Twilight, she’s definitely older than her age).
And while I thought I could understand her wanting to stay the same age as Edward, I felt it was a little out of Bella’s character to so easily discount her parents’ feelings about her disappearing from their life. I’m not saying – especially for a 17 year old girl – l-o-v-e doesn’t change how we think. But it’s VERY ingrained in Bella to be a caregiver for her parents. I don’t believe that would change so quickly. (I know I’m projecting on her a little – as I was in a similar caregiver role for a long time with my mother, and it was a good 5-6 years, after I left for college, before I could stop feeling as if I had to take care of her first).
I also agree with your review of New Moon. I found it very depressing and disappointing. And I’m not actually a big fan of Edward (remember, I’m not really a fan of vampires as heroes). I’ve liked Jacob better, despite his younger age, from the start. Regardless, I knew that Ed and Bell were it for each other, so it was hard to go through with her what she went through.
Maybe because I kept trying to figure out where the book was going, I also thought it took forever to get to the point. I’ve looked at the author’s website and I see why she felt it had to be the way it was. I still felt it was slow to develop.
Regardless, I’ll be looking for the next book to see where Bella and Edward end up next. I also hope that there can be something happy for Jacob in the future, although I can’t imagine it will end up being what he thinks he wants now.
Anyway, thanks so much for exposing me to this book! Since I haven’t been in high school since before disco died – LOL! – I never would have picked up this book on my own.
Tiffany,
I do the same thing, whenever I hear a song i listen to the lyrics and I’ll be like omg this it totally how bella felt after edward left and then I’ll get all sad and stuff. Oh and Tiffany, that link you put on here for the website has someone called by my escape and one of her stories she warns that it has SPOILERS FOR ECLISPE!!!!!!!!!!! I went crazy when i read that, so go under new moon and look for and on one of her like summarization thingys shes says that!! Have fun! Oh and when does the special edition of New Moon come out, I don’t have a copy of New Moon and I would be nice to have the first chapter of Eclipse included so do you know? And if you tell me I’ll totally like rewrite the whole thing on here for you to read! So get back to me soon!
