No one who saw Catherine Moreland as a little girl could have supposed she was to be a heroine.
Fortunately, she'd discovered the wonder that was teen romances. Fortunately, she'd read Twilight.
Really fun. I think the Twilight analogy works beautifully, as it is full worthy of much mockery, but also worth defending against certain misogynist and fun-hating critiques, the same way Austen mocks Gothic novels but defends novel-readers.
