More than 6,000 teen readers across the country chose New Moon as their favorite book in the American Library Association’s annual Teens’ Top Ten. It spent over thirty weeks in total on that bestseller list. ( source) Published in 2006, just one year after Twilight, New Moon rose to the number one position on the New York Times Best Seller list for Children's Chapter Books in its second week on the list, and remained in the top spot for eleven weeks. I pitched a fit every bit as violent and tearful as those I've seen in New Moon discussion forums. And, because of that, Edward was leaving. As I started plotting New Moon, it became clear that Edward was Edward, and he would have to behave as only Edward would. Interestingly, Meyer did not like her decision either, but she felt Edward left her no choice: The difficulty with strong, defined characters is that you can't make them do something that is out of character. Given Edward’s sweeping popularity among females, you can imagine that this turn of events did not go over well with many fans. Yes, Edward breaks up with Bella and, for a major part of the story, we’re left to experience the darkest moments in Bella’s life.
New Moon, Stephenie Meyer's second novel in the Twilight saga, continues to explore the love between human girl Bella Swan and the handsome vampire Edward Cullen – or, rather, what happens when Bella's true love leaves her.
