Lets all take a moment and realize this same author wrote about space jelly dragons with silver ribbon sentient parasites.

If I didn’t know which author you were talking about id be sold on that description.

Honestly that sounds better than teenage angst and sparkly vampires.

Its a love story about the alien parasite being enamored by humanity, joining their side, and falling in love all while inhabiting the body of an unwilling host whose mind refuses to fade like the rest. Not bad, but definitely still a tween romance novel.

No, it’s an existential horror novel about having your body stolen so some alien can get laid. It just has romantic tie-ins with the alien trying to get laid.

The movie should have leaned into that instead of, uh, whatever it was doing.

Pretty sure they’re referring to The Host and… yeah, it’s actually not bad.
