Reread the whole series in 2024 for a podcast. This is definitely the most enjoyable one, but only because it is so buckwild. You all know the drill- writing is bad, messaging is bad, romance is upsetting, and yes, the treatment of the Quilluete tribe is racist. 

For any adults who read the series as a teen and are considering a reread: fun for the nostalgia and deconstructing (if you're into that), but you'll probably have more fun getting somebody whose never watched the movies to watch them with you.

For teens who are thinking about reading the series: there's better stuff out there that doesn't have the issues this series has.

For adults who read the series as an adult and are still into it.... You do you I guess.

RAHHHHH I FINISHED THE TWILIGHT SAGA
what a beautiful ending. kind of.
i need to say this book felt like 700 pages of fanfiction. now im not mad at that but..... sometimes it felt corny. like with the
pregnancy & the fact bella lowkey becomes a mary sue....
ok well shes not really a mary sue but. i hate the fact her adjustment period as a newborn was nonexistent!

anyways i loved 80% of this book. some parts felt corny, and i was mega pissed that there were 10 jacob chapters. tbh they weren't as bad ass i thought they were going to be, but when i saw "book two - jacob" ooooo my blood BOILED. anyways though the ending made me less annoyed at him but im sorry
imprinting on a fucking infant is so crazy what crack were u smoking meyer

also this book needed more alice im sorry. yeah i know her not being there is for a reason idc im a ride or die for my girl alice talk to the wall.
anyways this feels oddly poetic to finish on valentines day seeing as the cullen coven are all lovesick LOSERS!!! /lh
i enjoyed seeing
bella as a vampire
but some of this book did feel like pandering, and it broke my immersion at times. other than that though, this book was perfect. the ending with the
volturi
was a bit corny tho.... like yeah sure i
wanted a happy ending and would've been mad if it didn't happen but tbh i would've preferred that! it felt incredibly anti-climatic that alice somehow manages to find this random ass fuckin half immortal. girl bye

also my one other gripe was there was waaaay too much casual racism with the
other covens
. was painful to read points featuring certain people like
amun or the amazon vampires
..... meyer u needed some sensitivity readers on god
idk if im gonna read the other books related to twilight by meyer this year but im happy ive finished her main series! yay! 
i say this but in reality my hyperfixation is gonna go crazy now that i don't have any new content (yes i will be bingeing both movies tonight IF YOU SEE MY LETTERBOXD MIND UR OWN BUSINESS /lh)
ok bye <3

Why is Jacob all of a sudden a paedophile in the most horrorfying way possible?
