[fluff] Now Playing, from the Whole Fenspace Catalog
 
#37
Break Of Day, by Stephanie Meyer. From the back cover: "Century-old vampire Edward Cullen is tired. Tired of the constant battle with the Thirst, tired of hiding from the sunlight, tired above all else of never being able to settle down and make a real friend. He never wanted to be turned, and the one thing he wants above all else is to die the natural death denied him by his well-meaning 'blood-father' in a tuberculosis hospital so long ago. But what's left of his Catholic faith has always kept him from resorting to the mortal sin of suicide... until now.

"Because now there's a girl. A girl who really, truly loves him for who he is. And he loves her back. But how can you love someone, build a life with them, when you hate yourself and want to die?
"

Reviews in the first few pages praise the novel's "touching and sensitive portrayal of a fundamentally good but deeply wounded man", the "strongly-voiced, relatable and immensely likeable character of Bella Swann, a girl who's a far cry from the usual rather flat romance protagonist" and "a wonderfully sensitive, nuanced and non-judgemental portrayal of mental illness and its consequences".
