Reader's Annotation: October, November, December ... just three months but seems like eternity. These were short pages that filed three empty pages but painted the longing and sadness that Bella felt when Edward left Forks for good. Will she able to move on? Will Bella stop loving Edward?
Summary: Bella celebrates her birthday at the Cullen’s house with Edward and his family. Bella gets accidentally cut in the arm and Jasper gets tempted to drink her blood. Edward finds it dangerous for Bella to have their family around Forks. The family decides to leave for the safety of Bella.
Bella got depressed after Edward and his family left but she befriends Jacob from La Push. Jacob influences Bella to do daring activities such as riding motorcycle and jumping off the cliff. Bella discovers the real identity of Jacob.
Edward gets mistaken that Bella died after her cliff diving so he decided to end his life as well by heading to Italy to see the Volturi clan. Bella saves Edward with the help of Alice and they return to Forks, Washington.
Personal Evaluation: The main character's depression and suicidal acts maybe something that readers may idolize and maybe admire.
