The Host by Stephenie Meyer
3.0
adventurous hopeful tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It’s definitely got some Stephanie Meyerisms in there, and it’s probably 200 pages too long, but the story is cool. 

Parasite aliens taking over human forms and creating a better life, but some humans don’t want that. This is from the perspective of one of those parasites, who finds herself in the company of humans, and who never lets her original human host disappear. There’s chosen family and lots of conflict and lots of hesitation and lots of love.
