As we reread the symbolic 'second act' of New Moon, we follow Bella as she is “forbidden to remember, terrified to forget” Edward Cullen. She finds solace in a new friendship with Jacob Black, who seemingly gets sucked into a cult.

Plus, we discuss: which is worse, turning into a werewolf or having mono? How many injuries has Bella had so far? Are there too many dream sequences? What is Billy Black’s problem? And what is it like to read Twilight after a bite of (100% legal) infused-chocolate?
