    The werewolf I understand entirely. They’re both awkward, horny kids trying to find their place. The century old vampire creeping on a teenager is where it gets weird.

      The werewolf “imprints” on Bella’s unborn vampire baby later in the series, so fortunately the scales of creepiness end up balanced between Team Edward and Team Jacob.

        She didn’t know how else to resolve the local wolf/vampire conflict so she could escalate the threat level to the euro trash vampires.

              Me too, buddy. Me too.

              I read them alongside a friend and met up for coffee to discuss after; we devoured them as they came out and about ¾ of the way through the final book we both just said “What the fuck are we reading?”

              Stephanie Meyer knows how to make you turn pages.

            What’s the problem with that? I would assume most people of tween/teen reading age did in the time they were popular. They were a phenomenon.

            Casually outing yourself as hating things teenage girls like.

                Then no need to feel embarrassed about something you might have enjoyed at the time! :)

                We’re allowed to like what we like, especially as kids. Give your younger self a break lol

                  But… my younger self regretted it? Look, okay I hated on Twilight before it was cool. Y’all just copycats. I’m going to my room!

            Sure why not. There is a ton of interesting horror and fantasy material hidden under the trashy paperback romance.

      Yeah, this is the part I can’t get past. WTF is Edward doing creeping around underage girls all the time?

        Not particularly. If you’ve ever discussed anything of substance with an amateur colleague in your field, you might find novelty in the fresh perspective or even some minor nostalgia. When they meet, Bella is less than a colleague of life. She is a strangely shaped Labrador, which is fitting in that he grooms the shit out of her.

        The original “What we do in the shadows” addressed that pretty well, when protagonist started dating his old crush when she’s a 70+ year-old woman and has to apologize for being a bit too old for her.

      And who would have expected that Jacobs place happened to be in prison, where he should go after falling in love with a literal newborn
