I don't really have much love for Bella either. Or any, even. I don't passionately hate her (except when I think about how she treated Charlie), but there's definitely no love for the character.

In BD, when Leah is talking about imprinting, and how she doesn't hate it, I never felt like she really, truly wanted it for herself. I always thought she was saying that because at that point she just wanted to forget how much she hated Sam, but even more she tells herself imprinting is right and it's meant to be, because that makes it hurt less thinking about Sam leaving her for Emily. I could understand her hating it and resenting it, but it also makes sense if she tries to really believe in it and believe it means something important - otherwise, Sam leaving her for Emily has no deeper meaner, no greater good, and that might hurt even more.

Sorry if that isn't completely coherent - I love discussing things, but I have the hardest time typing out coherent, logical responses without taking like, an hour.
