'Twilight' characters swap genders in Stephenie Meyer's new rewrite
Sparkly vampire expert Stephenie Meyer has come up with a unique way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the first novel in her Twilight saga: a 442-page rewrite that recasts moody human Bella as a moody dude named Beau and mysterious vampire Edward as a mysterious lady-vamp named Edythe.
Seriously.
According to Meyer, the new characters' personalities are "just slightly different" from the ones on which they're based.
Beau, for example is "more OCD, he's not nearly so flowery with his words and thoughts, and he's not as angry," she writes in a forward to the new story.
The book, called Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined — the cover of which once again pictures a hand holding an apple, only this time, the fruit is green — will be available in hardcover and e-book forms on Tuesday.
Meyer elaborated a bit on the new book during an appearance on Good Morning America Monday. “It really is the same story," she told GMA's Amy Robach. "It’s just a love story. It doesn’t matter who’s the boy and who’s the girl. It just works out.”
Beau and Edythe Her literally getting paid to rewrite the exact same plot
This sounds terrible, i wouldnt wanna read the same book again but with the genders swapped, like whats the point?
With that cancelled book it was gonna be from Edwards perspective, so its at least a bit different. This just seems so lazy
I hate Twilight with a passion but YA became the biggest genre thanks to her and got teens reading. So
I prefer to believe Harry Potter was much bigger in this sense.
Oh lawdy, Grey was one of the biggest books of this year (I think 2nd or 3rd to-date?) and 50 Shades isn't even as huge as Twilight...
I'd be fuming if I were an author that they're getting so much money for not doing much to shift up books that are...not good in the first place.

That sounds horrible. She should've just finished the Edward POV Twilight she was doing.
