Hey! No problem! Do you want to be discussion leader for Twilight? Have you read it? You could also do Salt to the Sea.

So what's everyone's thoughts on this one? I know lots of people have different opinions...

i won’t be able to participate but i hope everyone has fun!

I didn’t like Twilight as much as others. My rating is 2 stars. I felt that the author could’ve finished the plot of 4 books in 2 but that’s just my opinion

I never bothered to read Twilight after my friends gave me the reviews. And they all were horrible.

I honestly find him a bit creepy since he keeps stalking bella and stuff.

Let's not forget that Twilight is OG that re-invigorated YA. Maybe there should be a pre-Twilight YA BOTM? Anyhoo, Edward is totes creepy stalker that SM romanticizes into an emo need to "protect". Now I too was twitterpated by the whole Edward/Bella teenage forever love, and I was "grown" when I first read it. But once the honeymoon phase passed and the rosy tint of it all faded back to the really real world, I realized that Edward is a ball of self-loathing, antiquated and controlling a**hole.

I loved Twilight in middle school and I totally adored Edward (Jasper was mine though)

Now...I really can't make it through the first book

Don't even get me started on Bella. I'd respect it (Twilight) more if SM had made the latina, smart girl (Angela), Edward's love interest.

I read this one a long time ago, and I really enjoyed it. The movie was just TERRIBLE though, and doesn't do the book justice at all.

I agree. The actors/actresses didn't have much emotion *cough Kristen Stewart cough*

So let's get into an important question....
Edward or Jacob?

Jacob hadn't appeared yet, I've only read a little bit so far 😅. The story just seems so silly to me... 😓

Hahaha how so? Where are you at?
