Ok so when did the first book come out also the author had bella think that way (get the picture)
The first book came out in 2005. I started reading the series in 2008 a few months before Breaking Dawn came out.
And yes the author did make Bella think that way. She also said this
Stephenie Meyer
When they told me Rob was probably the one, I looked him up and thought, "Yeah, he can do a version of Edward. He’s definitely got that vampire thing going on." And then, when I was on set and I got to watch him go from being Rob to shifting into being Edward, and he actually looked like the Edward in my head, it was a really bizarre experience. He really had it nailed.
