Woldwalker, why he falls for her was the first and worst of several cognitive dissonances in that series. When I asked the several people who recommended it, all women if it matters, they seem to accept Edward swooning over Bella because it is love. And love conquers all, yadda yadda. Clearly I missed that train... Oh, I enjoyed the series well enough (say 3 of 5 stars) but I never found Bella to be attractive myself. Too indecisive (the Jacob vs Edward drama made me yell at the book). Perhaps that's fine for YA heroines, so some readers identify with her.
