I <3 E.C.

I look for the stories that no one has really read because I want to be able to discover characters on my own. Real life stories that I can relate to, where I can find myself in a certain character. The heroine, the villain, the comic relief.

I thought "only 14 year olds are reading Twilight" and "its a love story about vampires? C'mon let's get serious" I had no idea what the hype was about, I just didn't get it!

I bought Twilight for my 14 year old cousin for Christmas. She left it at my house on New Years Eve. There was nothing good on TV since it was Monday and The Hills were over, DWTS and American Idol were in between seasons. It wasn't Grey's Anatomy Thursday. I thought I might as well see what all the buzz is about. And then I started reading Twilight.....

I read all 4 books with 10 days! I couldn't put it down. My breaks and lunches at work were consumed by the adventure in Bella and Edward's love. I found myself getting home from work making a quick dinner for my son and getting into pajama's right away just so I could go to bed and read until 3am.

If guys were smart and wanted to know what women really wanted all they have to do is read Twilight and see how tender and passionate Edward is about Bella. That's what love is about. Me, as a woman, am actually IN love with a character from a book! If you haven't read it, it's written from Bella's perspective and I can't help but feel weak in the knees right alongside with her when she sees Edward and I can feel my heart speedup when they kiss. I am in love with Edward because I am in her head and I feel everything little thing she is feeling.

I've always wanted to have my life to turn out like a romantic comedy or fairy tale and have my happily ever after. But now after reading this book all I want to know is, where the hell is my Edward Cullen?
