Jessica Flanigan and Natalie Dowzicky sink their teeth into Stephanie Meyer’s tale of teenage temptation and vampiric virtue.

## SUMMARY:

Twilight may seem like any other run of the mill YA novel—but its story subtly (and not so much so) hides smart takes about paternalistic gender dynamics, natalism, and the purpose of family values in community.
