Ten years ago Stephanie Meyer blessed the world with Twilight; the first of the four-book-saga that reimagined the concept of vampires and werewolves.

Twilight is told from the point of view of a young girl named Bella Swan who moved to a small, rainy town called Forks to live with her dad. This move would change her life; she would meet handsome, mysterious Edward Cullen, who just so happened to be a vampire. After they fall in love, Bella is thrown into the world of the supernatural.

The saga goes through Edward and Bella's passionate, dramatic life as they fight to be together; it's a love story for the ages.

This series created an obsessive, dedicated fandom that are called "Twihards" (I may or may not be one). Upon its release, 'till now, the saga has sold over 150 million copies. Out of the series came a hugely successful five-part movie series starring Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner.

On Good Morning America on Tuesday, October 6, Meyer announced that she has re-written Twilight in honor of the 10th anniversary.

The new book is called "Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined", and there is a crazy twist: Meyers has gender-swapped all of the characters in the book (aside from Charlie and Renee, Bella's parents) to create a fresh, new look at the famous love story.

In this version, Edward Cullen is now Edythe, and Bella Swan is a boy named Beaufort (Beau for short).

"I wanted to do something fun for the 10th anniversary, and the publisher wanted like a forward, and I thought, 'Well, maybe something more interesting'," Meyers said.

The motivation for the switch was criticized at signings because Bella is your traditional "Damsel in Distress."

The new novel starts similarly to Twilight, but as you read further, the story changes slightly because of the new personalities. Meyers explains that the new novel is still the same love story; it does not matter who is a boy and who is a girl. Bothered by her critics, she decided to prove a point that the story would end up the same if it was a boy or girl in Bella's position.

Personally, I think that this is great in regards to our generation. Gender roles are so deeply rooted into society, and using the fame of Twilight to show that boys can be damsels as well as girls is a step in the right direction.

As a fellow "Twihard", however, I am a bit upset. Twilight is such an amazing love story. I think that changing the gender roles is almost like changing the entire story, and I like it the way it is. I would much rather have read a novel based on their lives ten years from the last book, or something of that nature.

Although my opinion wont make Meyer write that book for me, I am looking forward to the release of "Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined" because I would read anything that Meyers wrote that has anything to do with Twilight.
