 I  finally read twilight! It was not a literary masterpiece but a fun read. 

The whole book was mostly Edward wanting to kill Bella, Bella being chill with that (because Edward is pretty), and Edward getting angry at Bella for having no self preservation. 

I was surprised with how often Bella describes Edward as having an angelic appearance as well how young Carlisle is (he is tooooo young to have gotten a doctorate). 

I think the movie is better

Ah, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight… what more can I say? Do you ever get the urge to revisit something you loved as a child/teen, even though it’s complete trash? That’s how I ended up here. 

We all know the story, we all know the characters, I’m not going to go into detail, but sometimes you just need to revisit something trashy and have a good time. 

Bella’s annoying, Edward’s controlling, the storyline is as simple as can be. Is this a good book? No. Is this an entertaining book?  Absolutely. Honestly, 3 stars is generous, but the nostalgia is real… 😂

A reread because of course I was all up in this series as a teen. Ya know, I didn't hate it this time. I'm reading through the lens of horror and it's kinda working for me. Of course it's angsty and dramatic but Bella is 17, I think we were all at least a little angsty and short-sighted around that age. Obviously I do not care for the promotion of toxic romantic relationships but I do think there's at least something to get out of this series. It's a cultural touchstone whether we like it or not.

im actually soooooooo normal about twilight
ok so confession - i have never read twilight before. or seen the movies.
until 2024.
FUCK THAT WAS GOOD???
now i will say. yes the book is cringe at points. like when edward literally eats bella's tears.
and also meyer is um. Odd! like calling jacob "indian"....... Erm!
but i did in fact gobble this book up so. i think im at fault here.
i don't know why i was so addicted to this book but i swear to god its laced with crack.
ummmm i actually cant put how i feel into words.
the ending ate, the story ate, the characters ate (shout out alice u remind me i like women), the pacing, everything (minus the cutesy-cringe moments & the microaggressions....)
i hate you alastair because im an addict. i need my next twilight fix.
