Ever since Soul and me founded our little Twilight-bookclub, she was constantly raving about the “cookie-book”, formally called “Wide Awake”.
The Cookie-Book, aka Wide Awake
In all her pent-up excitement about it, Soul even started a mission on baking even more cookies than Bella did in this story. White Chocolate Chips, Apple-Cinnamon, Strawberry-Marmelade, Peanutbutter, or my favourite, the ones with Smarties…. my mouth still starts watering every time I think about them, and I don’t know if she probably started baking the cookies in order to win someone over with them, maybe thinking about an imaginary Edward, but either way, she definitely succeeded in winning me over for her cookies!!
And, she didn’t just win me over for her cookies, I was also getting more and more interested in the cookie-book.
Wide Awake - Or rather not...?
In the beginning I was a bit sceptical about it, because even though it’s going along the plotlines of Twilight, the cookie-story is still altered quite a bit, and so are the characters. And I was a bit scared to destroy the feelings I had about Twilight by reading a story with similar, but at the same time completely different people, for in case I didn’t like it, what if I could never really get back to Twilight again (omg, I’m actually talking about complicated feelings I have for a book!!^^)? And anyway, all the stuff I heard about fanfic being porn just in a “better way”, I have to admit, it kind of embarrassed me. So all in all, you understand the inner struggle I felt^^ And so all these feelings competed with each others, the curiosity on the one hand and the fear on the other. Until the curiosity finally won over, and I asked Soul for a copy of the “document” (because, of course, she’s keeping it in her “important work documents” folder on her laptop, all the time)!! I think she was just as excited as I was regarding that I was finally going to read it, because then she would finally have someone to talk about it.
Badass cookie-Edward, even sexier than cheesy vampire-Edward!
So, I started reading the book like 5 days ago, and I already reached chapter 20 of 52. And my conclusion is: I love it!! I love the characters, the new story, especially the new dirty badass Cookie-Edward and the fact that Cookie-Jasper is coming up so much more often!! I have to say, the story is sometimes quite dark and creepy, but all in all, just as engaging as Twilight is. The only thing that was kind of weird while reading were the very detailed descriptions of the Cookie-Edward-and-Bella-aahem-“interactions”^^ I have to say, they were not the hardcore porn parts I was expecting, at least not until now, because all that really happened so far were two kisses, but well, it already was very detailed^^ And I’m pretty sure there’s some more to come. And even though the scenes were still not too bad considering what I was expecting, I already felt kind of like reading a porn (which is kind of meaning something since it is about kisses). I’m already curios where else the story is going to end up, I mean I guess I already know that haha, but I’m actually more curios if it’s going to be awkward or cool^^

But anyway, I’m already looking forward to reading some more of the cookie-book aka Wide Awake tonight, and I’m glad that Soul brought it to me, as she already did with so much other cool stuff. I should appoint her my personal book-advisor^^ So in honour to Soul: I was thinking about making this a kind of series about me reading the cookie-book, because I know you good enough to be sure that’s what you’ve been dying for ever since you sent it to me!! Haha alright, maybe I’m a bit exaggerating with “dying for”. Kind of makes you sound like a complete addict. But even so – aren’t we all?
