My 15 year old sister went nuts for Stephanie Meyer's first two books. I think she devoured the things within a week, which is impressive for her, since she's not a big reader. So I picked up Twilight, and I had kinda the same reaction. It felt like the L.J. Smith crap I read in junior high. It just reminds me again why I don't read YA fic anymore: no sex. And I didn't really buy the "I love you because you smell great", especially since that really just means that Edward wanted to eat her, and that doesn't really translate to love in my world.
