Screenwise Verdict

Look, Twilight is the ultimate 'guilty pleasure' for a reason. This 2025 deluxe collection is a beautiful way to own a piece of pop culture history, but don't expect it to be a manual for healthy dating.

It’s essentially the 'junk food' of literature—highly addictive, not particularly nutritious, but totally fine in moderation. If your teen is suddenly obsessed with rain, Pacific Northwest vibes, and guys who look like they haven't slept in a decade, this is the definitive version of that experience. Just be ready to talk about why stalking isn't a love language.

Age Fit

Best for 12 and up. Younger kids might handle the reading level fine, but the heavy themes of obsession and the 'Breaking Dawn' birth scene are better suited for middle schoolers and up.

WISE Breakdown

Wholesome

The core romance is built on extreme codependency and some fairly stalker-ish behavior that was romanticized in 2005 but looks a bit 'yikes' by 2026 standards.

Imaginative

Say what you want about sparkling vampires, but Stephenie Meyer built a specific, moody atmosphere that birthed an entire genre of paranormal romance.

Safe

It's a book series, so no tech risks. However, 'Breaking Dawn' features a pretty graphic, body-horror style birth scene that catches younger readers off guard.

Enriching

It's a massive 'gateway' series that gets kids reading 500+ page books, which is a win, even if the prose is simple and the life lessons are debatable.

Why It Might Be Great

The 'Midnight Sun' inclusion finally gives Edward's perspective, which adds a lot of context (and angst) to the original story.
It's a fantastic 'stamina builder' for readers who struggle to finish long books; the pacing is designed to be addictive.
This 2025 deluxe set is high-quality, with sprayed edges and gorgeous covers that make reading feel like an 'event' rather than a chore.
Culturally essential—your kid will finally understand every 'Team Edward' meme they see on TikTok.

⚠

What to Watch For

The relationship dynamics: Edward literally watches Bella sleep without her knowing. It’s presented as romantic, but it’s a great 'red flag' teaching moment.
Breaking Dawn's 'imprinting' plot point is still just as weird and uncomfortable as it was twenty years ago.
The violence picks up in 'Eclipse' and 'Breaking Dawn,' moving from teen angst to actual supernatural warfare and some limb-tearing.

Conversation Starters

"Is Edward actually a good boyfriend, or is he just controlling because he's a century older than her?"
"Why do you think Bella is so willing to give up her entire human life and family for a guy she just met?"
"If you were a vampire who didn't want to kill humans, what would be the hardest part of living in a small town like Forks?"
"Does the 'imprinting' thing feel like a soulmate connection to you, or does it just feel like a way to force a happy ending?"
