One huge misunderstanding, mixed emotions, and broken hearts - this is what this story is about. Unable to live with her ridiculous mother anymore, Bella Swan decides to move back in with her father, to the small town of Forks. And though the latter mostly brings up peaceful memories for Bella, one particular instant comes constantly back to haunt her. The young high school student simply can't get over the fact that she dated Edward Cullen for the summer she spent with her dad, only to have to break up with him, once she had to return back home. She has absolutely no desire to face the boy again; a boy, who broke her heart in more than one way and left her stranded. Her resolve of staying away from Edward only grows bigger after Bella's first day back at Forks High, when he speaks more than harshly with her. Yet although Bella is firm in her decision to simply ignore Edward and his remarks for as long as necessary, she can't help but feel the same intense spark every time he is near her. The same spark that was there that one summer, as four years ago...

Four years ago, Edward Cullen, tried to deal with the remnants of his very traumatic past; a past he only shared with Bella. So when, one fine day, the whole town knows about what happened to him, the only conclusion he can come to is that Bella must have been the one to spread the info. It marked the end of their relationship and Bella went back to Phoenix. But now, she was back, permanantly, and Edward felt the need to be downright cruel to her. Yet despite his "hatred" toward her, he can't help but notice how much Bella has grown into a woman since the last time he saw her - both intellectually and physically. It definitely contradicts the feelings he is desperately trying to have toward, yet he can't help but feel that, deep in his heart, he still loves that girl. What happens when he finds out that Bella actually wasn't the person to cause him harm and that everything between them was a mere misunderstanding? Will Bella be able to forgive him for everything she went through in those four years and the treatment she received from him in school?

If You Could Read My Mind is a story that can't be praised are enough. The story is so intricate in its plot that the reader almost can't help but get hooked into the story from as early as the prologue. The latter, in fact, consists of a beautiful poem by Gordon Lightfoot that captures the gist of the story extremely well - already that beginning had me really excited about reading the story. The reader is able to know both sides of the story as the chapters are written from Edward's and Bella's perspectives, which often brings up moments when you just want to scream at the two of them and beg them to talk and sort everything out. But that desperation only drives you to continue reading the story, waiting for the moment when all the beans have been spilled and the two finally get back together. I absolutely loved this fanfiction and I have to say "hat's off" to bella c'ella luna for coming up with such an amazing plot! That being said, I have no doubt that all of you readers out there will fall in love with this story, too. Oh, and did I mention that the lemons are so hot? A must read!!!

If You Could Read My Mind consists of 39 chapters and a total of 143,353 words. The story is rated M for language, content, and hot sexual activities.
