Edward Cullen

Should I be ashamed about lusting over a seventeen-year old vampire? Probably. But that doesn’t stop my ridiculous crush on Stephanie Meyer’s character Edward Cullen. I’ve never been into romance novels, (I swear!) but the Twilight series make me swoon like a Mary Sue. If you have to ask why, you clearly haven’t read them. Edward is every girl's secret desire. He’s a bad boy- you can’t get much tougher than sucking blood- but also a gentleman. Sadly, the early 20th century male is more desirous than our present day gamers. Edward hums Bella lullabies, saves her life repeatedly, gives kisses that make humans faint… even a self-proclaimed asexual like myself can’t help but go gagas over him. The writing is mediocre, the plot absurd, and yet I find myself vainly trying, (and failing,) to put it down. There’s no use denying it; I’m hopelessly smitten.
