The new book titled ‘Midnight Sun’ will be a prequel to the series told entirely from the perspective of Edward Cullen. When speaking to Good Morning America Meyer shared, “I am very excited to finally, finally announce the release of ‘Midnight Sun’ on August 4. It’s a crazy time right now and I wasn’t sure if this was the right time to put this book out, but some of you have been waiting for just so, so long. It didn’t seem fair to make you wait anymore. Sorry about the bad timing. Hopefully, this book can be a distraction from the real world.”
