katikatIt's been 10 years since "Twilight" was published, so Stephenie Meyer decided to write a gender-swapped story about Beau (Bella) and Edythe (Edward), called "Life and Death", to celebrate the occasion: link.
I'm actually really excited about it. I liked the "Twilight" series a lot, I found Bella a likable heroine and I liked that she knew what she wanted and went after it with vengeance. I'm curious how Meyer will handle it all gender-swapped. I love stories where men take the place of the "heroine", so to speak. I wish more authors would do this, gender-swap their books, even just for a short story...
ETA: Don't you just love it when people bash "Twilight" and Meyer, yet they add the book to their GR account and give it one star just to bring the rating down, even though the book isn't even out yet and they will never read it? Real mature, isn't it? Good to know people have real reasons to dislike this book...
