The Twilight Phase ladies are back again this week, and we read TWO chapters of Midnight Sun—chapters 14 AND 15. (Have we ever mentioned that this book is too long? We ain’t trynna be reading it for another year so expect more double-ups fam. Not sorry, not sorry) Bella discusses how she thought about getting a job in publishing (LOL), Eddie introduces us to ~the knot~, we discover that the white sleeveless collared button-down was ALICE’S idea (the fashion expert y’all), and, if you think you m...

Bella skipped over all her "boring" answers to Edward's inquisition in Twilight, and Midnight Sun is here to FILL THOSE GAPS. Maya and Olivia squeal over how Bella is one of us, while Melissa claims she was a "cool uncool" person in high school...yeah, okay. Were you: A) a pretentious, nerdy loveable Bella high schooler B) a cool/uncool, super slick but secretly getting good grades high schooler or C) an immortal vampire with two medical degrees just passing the time high schooler?

We start off this episode with an ALL-STAR listener letter, and then launch into an amaaaaaazing chapter. Edward's pretension reaches new heights, and then Edward reveals his true destiny...to get into high school theater. Also, is it just us, or are Edward and Bella totally vibing during bio?? Is something going on with them? Patreon.com/twilightphasepodcast Email us at twilightphasepodcast@gmail.com to tell us how YOU would cast a theater production starring the Cullens, lol.

Cool cats! The Twilight Phase ladies are back to discuss chapter 11 of Midnight Sun, and in an effort to remain more positive in her commentary, Melissa didn’t read the chapter. Did she succeed?? Or did she just make it impossible for us to record a decent episode? Listen to find out! Also we talk about other stuff like the pervasiveness of typos in all books, and SMeyer’s struggle to write through the male gaze, etc. Thanks for continuing to listen to us!!

THE PORT OF ANGELS! This iconic chapter in Twilight is brought to life by everyone's favorite eternally moody teen in Midnight Sun. We make some BIG realizations in this chapter involving the true reason why Edward should be a vegetarian and also that he is lowkey an X-man. And possibly we give some CRUCIAL ADVICE on how to avoid New Moon happening to YOU. Because it could. Happen to you. Also Melissa recorded from a closet and we set up our recording wrong so we couldn’t take out us interruptin...

This week we pose a philosophical question: If we could have skipped this chapter and not noticed, does the chapter even exist at all? Immediately we are disabused of the notion that we might learn more about or from Charlotte and Peter, and instead get to hear more about Bella reading than we ever did from Bella. Then, surprised by ourselves, we stumble upon the deep and human relatability of Edward's inaccurate and paradoxical self loathing. Plus, you know, jokes and stuff. Email us at twiligh...

We discuss a chapter that is p thin since Bella is doing interesting things and Edward is not, we learn Rosalie's very obvious secret, and there's this whole metaphor about Bella's lullaby. Also if humans are like potatoes, why is Edward attracted to one?

Don’t ask this eboy with multiple medical degrees. Is your life worth anything if your eyes have no depth? Also don’t ask this same eboy. BUT do we have a whole new appreciation for Bella and the ~DEPTHS~ of her patience for stoopid boys? You betcha. Also it’s Melissa’s birthday tomorrow, but we don’t talk about it ‘cause aging ...

Is this a chapter with no flaws? Okay, not quite, because it starts out a little rough (Eddie, *we* can't read *your* mind), but in the end is it possibly the best chapter of the book?? We have multiple best sentences and not all of us can pick a worst! Most importantly EDWARD FINDS OUT HE LOVES BELLA. Thank goodness it's now the future #BidenHarris #sighofrelief #goodday!!

We enter Chapter three of Midnight Sun and BOY does our boy have some ~feelings~! And he can't explain any of them! But we know what's going on—Eddie wants to SMOOCH. And while we, the ladies of Twilight Phase, love talking about smooching, we also try our hand at ~science~ in this episode. How fast do you have to travel to be invisible?? If you're going that fast, wouldn't anyone you manhandle be pulverized?? Only the important questions here. Happy Samhain/Halloween to our ghoulish listeners, ...

Listen to us discuss why Alice is so mean to Bella, why Jake is so mean to Alice...and why Bella is so mean to HERSELF! Listeners, we were on a roll with this episode and it turned out to be ten times longer than took Bella to decide she didn't care Edward was a vampire (i.e. two hours). So we broke it up into two episodes! We'll return next week with the rest of this convo, and in ...

Bella jumps off the cliff and Maya almost forgets to mention that the cliffhanger (get it) is that the Cullens have returned...but that's for next time! First we learn more from Jacob, and Bella almost drowns (or maybe does drown), which she's...fine with. Have you noticed Bella knows a lot about cars for someone who doesn't like them, that this is a book club, or that we're GREAT editors??? The real MVP is all of you who write in.
