I could see that Billy was genuinely concerned for Bella's safety. I was a little upset with her for being so rude to him. At the same time though, you can tell that she is so wrapped up in being with Edward that she doesn't care how she makes her point. I suppose I would be that way too about him

2) Did you approve of the way Charlie treated Edward as the first boyfriend Bella ever brought home?
Of course, Charlie acted just like ANY other dad!! This is the part of the book where I could not stop laughing!! When he keep saying "EDWIN" I just rolled. It's sooo something my dad would have said when I was 17! hahahaha.

3) Edward talks about his inner turmoil regarding constantly putting Bella into danger. Do you think he is to hard on himself?
I think Edward is extremely hard on himself. I think it's one of the reasons he has such a temper!
4) Edward finally says "I love you". Were you disappointed in how it came out almost off-handedly.
You know, I was sort of wondering why he didn't make a bigger 'show' of saying "I love you" for the first time. (That's probably not a good way of saying what I mean to say...) But, it was also a "real" moment between them. I think it'll be really interesting to read Edward's POV in Midnight Sun. I can't wait to see the depth of his character and what's been going on in his mind all this time.
5) We learn more about Esme, was your impression of her changed after learning more about her?
No, I really adore Esme...she really would have made a wonderful mother.
