Put on your judgement crown and discuss the lack of consistency in Bella's character from Twilight to New Moon with us. Where did her logic go? Does anyone know what rational thought is? What is a smart decision? All of the main characters make crappy moves in a storyline that really doesn't move the plot. Buckle up. We don't hold back. Check out this article from Bustle in defense of Twilight and more insight into why it's still a good read for teenage girls. And watch this video from The Daily Show where Michelle Wolf explains why we can have women-led superhero movies that flop at the box office. Our Drink for this Book: The New Moon cocktail from Just a Pinch. Our Drinking Game for this Story: Take a drink every time Taylor Lautner appears on screen with his shirt off. Take a drink every time Bella has a weird Edward hallucination. Take a drink every time you caught yourself looking at your phone because this story is boring. Please drink responsibly! Hail hydrate.
