There really is no point.

Stephanie Meyer is basically saying: throw your money at me for being uncreative, lazy, lousy, and pandering a book series which should be done and over with.

This book is another attempt of Stephanie Meyer to defend the horrid writing, storyline, and character development that is Twilight by stating: “I’ve always maintained that it would have made no difference if the human were male and the vampire female - it’s still the same story. Gender and species aside, Twilight has always been a story about the magic and obsession and frenzy of first love.”

So, instead of delving deeper into the world of Twilight to write a new, interesting, and creative book (or about as close to any of those things as Stephanie Meyer can hope to achieve), she has decided to put her "theory" to the "test" and simply be lazy by switching around the gender roles.

I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion and are allowed to like the book, but I don't understand HOW fans of Twilight (and I am not one, just making that clear) can even support Stephanie Meyer and buy this book. It is like one big "fuck you" to her fans. She's not being creative at all. At least with Midnight Sun (which isn't that much better and is still pandering), you get Edward's thoughts and point of view, allowing you into the mind of his creepy, controlling, stalker-obsessed ways. But with this book, Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined you practically get the SAME love story (SORRY, with a different ending and some added conversations, like that changes anything) and slight difference to Bella and her lackluster personality because she is now a boy or Gary-Stu.

Now that we have this book, Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined (or should I call it a fanfiction story, though I could probably find a WAY BETTER one online than this), E.L James can turn it into another BDSM fanfiction, with the main characters being Anothony Stell and Christina White, and the story can be called "Twisted Love: Sixty Shades of White", and then she can publish and make more money like Stephanie Meyer. And then we have Stephanie Meyer and E.L James feeding off one another and making half-assed novels, if you can call them that.
