Beth Sabatino
Counterpoint, Ch. 4-6

Chapter 4
-----------
In so many ways, Edward is much more emotionally mature than Bella. They are both shining examples of the effects of nurturing, or lack of, parents. Edward is comfortable with who he is. He is able to make rational decisions, even in the heat of the moment and in the sight of boobies, because he knows what he is worth and what he deserves.

Bella lives so much in the temporary and distant, because that is all she has ever known. Edward is the first person, in a very long time, who has told her she is worth so much more than that.

Chapter 5

LOL line: "Consequently, if my balls got any bluer, I would have to tattoo them with the numbers two and ten."

It is interesting to see that Edward is as conscious of their age difference as Bella is. At least when it comes to his mother. He is learning those lessons now that we all do at that age, avoidance leads to trouble.

This is almost painful to read now, his plans for the future, because of knowing what is coming.

Chapter 6

I loved how formally Bella spoke in Edward's fantasies. It was almost textbook. Bella, though being so emotionally immature at times, was very thoughtful and caring of Edward and letting him know that arousal was nothing to be embarrassed about. She is a very gracious teacher as far as that subject goes.

What a trying time for Esme. Time to start letting her baby boy take wing and make his own decisions, good or bad. I am glad that she is trying not to discourage, though, as a parent, she has valid concerns. It is interesting seeing Esme all Mama Bear. I love the fact she cusses like a sailor too.
