New Moon is a harrowing depiction of an insecure girl suffering from depression. Whether or not we agree with why Bella is depressed, Meyer captures her internal turmoil perfectly. The book is lacking as a romance and it's definitely not a feminist masterpiece, but it is a fascinating psychological study.

Sounds like a interesting story - good review
Meyer choosing to leave certain pages blank when depicting Bella's depressive state was an excellent choice. Depression causes memory to fail and days to blend together entirely. The world is colorless, food tasteless... Bella would not have had much to say.
