The saga tells a story of how a simple 17 year-old girl falls in love with the impossible: a vampire. And so begins the tale of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, two teenagers (at least Edward still looks like a teen) who fall hard and fast in love with one another. The relationship is seen as your typical teeny bopper romance, where the idea of love at first sight manifests the moment Bella sees Edwards pale skin and devastating beauty, and when Edward gets a whiff of her irresistible scent.
Millions of teenage girls gobble this stuff up like cookie dough at a sleepover, without fully realizing the relationship the two heroines have together is an abusive one. It’s also straddles the line between devotion and stalking.
“It’s an unachievable romance,” said Nikki Thompson a first year journalism student.
