Summary
Is Twilight by Stephenie Meyer the best book of all time? No it’s not. Is it the kind of cotton candy escapism joy we need during these uncertain times? Hell yes it is.
You may remember BFFs Vanessa Zoltan & Julia Argy from their all-star advice giving in Season 1. In this mini-season they’re sheltering in place in different cities, but they’re getting on the phone three times a week to read and talk about Twilight. On Twilight in Quarantine, they’ll work their way through the Twilight saga one chapter at a time, giving brilliant well-informed advice to Stephenie Meyer and her characters along the way.
In this episode, Vanessa and Julia read Chapter 1. They meet Bella and Edward for the first time and they are concerned about them.

| 0:56.5 | that's actually a good idea, just in case she was joking. |
| 1:07.6 | I realized that saying that's actually good idea meant that I ended up just sounding surprised that Julia has good ideas once in a while, which is not the case. She's full of good ideas. She just |
