Oh, ick. Just.....ick. That pretty much comes up to the level of the skin-crawling Lestat period scene in Memnoch the Devil, which as an entire volume just put me completely off Anne Rice.
But yeah, Bella is pretty much yelling "MARY SUE ALERT" from the very first page of Twilight. And Meyer seems really heavy-handed in her efforts to manipulate the readers' feelings towards one character or another, and if there's anything I hate while reading, it's being TOLD what to feel by a book.
