More than a decade after the release of "Twilight," Twihards are discovering it all over again — through Edward's eyes. 

The much-anticipated companion story, "Midnight Sun," was released on August 4, 2020. The book tells the love story of a vampire and a human girl, Bella, from Edward's point of view. 

After reading the nearly-700 page book, you may be compelled to seek out the first movie again. And it's worth another watch. You may be surprised to find that some of the film's more puzzling or laughable moments make more sense when you know Edward's inner monologue. 

Because Edward can read minds, his version of events gives fans further insight into why Rosalie detests Bella, Jasper's deer-in-the-headlights appearance when we first meet him, and why the bad guys didn't realize Bella was a human when they first met during the film's famous baseball scene.
