Midnight Sun is an unreleased companion novel to the book
Twilight by author
Stephenie Meyer. It would be the retelling of the events of Twilight, but written from the perspective of
Edward Cullen as opposed to that of Bella Swan. Meyer has stated that Twilight is the only book from the series that she plans to rewrite from Edward's perspective. To give them a better feel of Edward's character, Meyer allowed
Catherine Hardwicke, the director of the film adaptation of Twilight, and
Robert Pattinson, the actor playing Edward, to read some completed chapters of the novel while they filmed the movie.
