It’s not that the comparisons are faulty. It’s that they aren’t the theme of the book.
I just don’t see the theme of Twilight as akin to Mormonism.
I do see the theme of Twilight very akin to dysfunctional relationships.

But if you look hard enough, with the right glasses, you will see that all bad things have some sort of Mormon influence.

Mormon families are supposed to look good above all else, to give a good "testimony." It's easy to hide a lot of abuse behind such social pressure, and it's possible that a Mormon author might not understand that abusive relationships are not normal.
