It’s hard to believe, but it’s been 20 years since the first Twilight book hit shelves—how has it been that long?! In this episode, we’re taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane to one of the cult books that shaped a generation.

We’re unpacking all the things you never knew about the saga: the casting choices that made (or broke) the film adaptation, quirky behind-the-scenes facts that’ll surprise even the biggest fans, and of course, the age-old question… Team Edward or Team Jacob?

If you love a classic nostalgia edition of Brutally Honest Reviews, let us know—we’re ready to dive even deeper into your favourite cult favourites!
