Bella arrives at a new school and is instantly popular for no apparent reason. Two hot guys fall madly in love with her, again for no apparent reason, and the series is dominated by their fight over her affections.
This.
Don't get me started on why I detest these books, but suffice it to say this is the most blatant example of Mary-Sueing in recent years.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
