I know there was an article or interview or something where Smeyer said her pastor (Priest? Reverend? Crap, giving up on Catholicism broke my religion brain) went over every book before sending it in. NO, SMEYER, A DOCTOR. A SEX ED TEACHER. ANY TEACHER. *headdesk*
I get the impression it's partly the Mormon thing and partly the fact that Smeyer seems like she's totally sheltered. The hilarious thing is that Bella is such a freaking self-insert and yet the character I'd be more likely to compare her to is Renee.
