A Novel Adaptation24 Joulu 2018

15 - Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

Are we there yet? Listen in for a fun little list of us trashing the main trio in this book, complete with all the bells and whistles. Please, don't hate us for dragging your favorite characters - we agree they still have value, they just don't resonate with us. However, this movie does do something right and handles both sex talks and bodily autonomy for Bella so much better so Yay? See what we mean and then let us know what you think.

Our Drink for this Book: The Wolf Punch, in honor of Bella's stellar right hook. Courtesy of Wolf Whiskies.

Our Drinking Game for this Story:

Take a drink every time they do a Bella handoff
Drink when you see cutoffs on screen - bonus point if you're the first one to yell "JORTS!"
Take a drink any time you realize you're objectifying Jacob
Imbibe every time there is a flashback
And to stave off The Awkward, drink throughout the entire sex talk between Charlie and Bella

Please drink responsibly! Hail hydrate.
