I’ve got some issues with this right off the bat, not the least of which is that Meyer is treating this like a revolutionary idea, even when it has been one of the fundamental tropes of fanfiction and fan art for so long that there are hardly any characters in popular culture and literature that haven’t been reimagined as another gender. Beaufort? Really?) Every character has undergone a gender switch, all the way down to the school secretary. Edward the vampire is now Edyth (yeah, I did spell that right), and our dearly not-beloved Bella has been renamed Beaufort (good god someone needs to get that woman a better editor. It’s a scene-for-scene recreation of Twilight, but the genders of all the characters are switched. It’s also not actually a new book, per say, just a new title, Life and Death. In case you hadn’t been aware (and I don’t know why you would have been, honestly), our dear Steph just dropped a new book on us out of the blue, like Beyonce’s new album except with mediocre word choice and less feminism. This is late because 1) I travelled for sixteen godforsaken hours yesterday and didn’t have internet until just now and 2) because this is a 1,200 word masterpiece, so stop complaining.
