Netflix Made Me Do It: My Accidental Twilight Reread

Ok, so Netflix decided what I read this month.

I logged in one night for a little background TV, and BAM — there it was. A bold little banner telling me The Twilight Saga would be leaving on June 30th. 

Was Edward still as dramatic as I remembered? Was Jacob still shirtless 95% of the time? And why, after all these years, did I still remember the phrase “like my own personal brand of heroin”?

Naturally, before I crammed in a Twilight movie weekend, I had to do what any responsible bookworm would do: reread the entire series. All four books. Over 2,000 pages of sparkling vampires, werewolf angst, and a love triangle that divided a generation.

Yep. I’m back in Forks, people.

Revisiting Twilight in 2025 is wild. Back then, it was Team Edward vs. Team Jacob like it was a moral choice. Now? I just want Bella to take a gap year and maybe go to therapy. But still — there's something weirdly comforting about Stephenie Meyer's rainy, broody vampire world. It's dramatic. It's messy. It's absurd. And it’s kind of perfect for binge reading on a summer weekend.

So here I am, full-circle. I’ve read the books, watched the movies (yes, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 still goes off in the final battle scene even though it’s fake), and now I’m wondering if I should reread Midnight Sun too. Help.

Thanks, Netflix, I think?
