I read a LOT of books (especially in genre fiction) that remind me of other books, with characters whose occupations/looks/behaviour occasionally feels "vaguely familiar", but there's no way for me to even know whether the author of the book in question even read the thing it reminds me of, or whether it's just some genre/character trope or random coincidence, e.g. with the characters based on real people and real common behaviour traits.

I see parallels between Twilight and the TV show Roswell. The highschool girl finds out that the other student is an vampire/alien when he saves her from a car accident. He doesn't want her to know his secret but eventually she does and she goes through the whole "I thought that vampires/aliens are just imaginary" phase.
