This book has been 12 years in the making, and is guaranteed to be one of the biggest of the year. Readers across the world are already diving straight in, us included, and we’ve come up with a couple of reasons for why Midnight Sun should go straight to the top of your reading list. Read on …

Midnight Sun is 200+ pages longer than the first Twilight novel, even though it covers the same time span. So, basically Twilight saga fans are about to get 200+ extra pages of their favourite forbidden love story, with an added serving of angst!
2. It’s a Cullen family extravaganza
The extra length means you get a lot more time with Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, Alice and (of course) Edward Cullen. There are lots of fun scenes where the Cullen family interacts with each other in ways we never got to see in the original Twilight book.

If you are drawn to the Twilight series for its darkly brooding hero, Midnight Sun will deliver a healthy dose of everybody’s favourite glittering vampire. We’re in Edward’s head now. Prepare yourself for all of the darkness and all of the brooding!
5. It’s the best kind of nostalgia!
The best thing of all about Midnight Sun is the nostalgic trip down memory lane it will take you on. After reading this, you’ll be ready to start the whole series over again from scratch.
