Extremely funny

This book is hilarious and points out so many things that you may have never thought about in depth. It's delightful as it makes you realize so much of the Twilight Saga is more ridiculous and campy than you could ever imagine, an impressive feat, but yet it makes the series so much more lovable.

learned new info about Twilight when I thought I knew it all.

This book got my to crack up out load, and word vomited to my husband about Twilight on our last date lol.

Fun and entertaining

This book isn’t trying to be anything it’s not. It’s funny and introspective on Twilight. If you like deep dives on twilight lore and dissecting in, then this is your book.

Talented Author

How the author articulated my deep love for some of the Twilight Characters and gave an explanation as to why I hated so many others. I feel reconciled!

Must read for twilight fans! (And haters lol)

This was seriously so much fun to listen to!

I reread & rewatch twilight like waaay too much so I really appreciate the care that was put into just dissecting this crazy series lol!

Big fan!
