30 Days Book Challenge Day 29: A book everyone hated but you liked
Hands down, it’s Stephenie Meyer’s The Host. Actually I surprised myself by how much I enjoyed this one, given that I still lamented the day I finished her Twilight saga. I started it purely out of curiosity to see how much of a mess Meyer would make out of her latest novel. Of course, the dramatic love triangle was there, the sappy inter species love story was also there. But the reluctant-alliance-turned-genuine-friendship between the 2 female leads was also very much there, and it’s enough to compensate for everything else. That, and the delightful found family that is the core of the story.
I’m torn about the sequel. On one hand, I don’t mind reading more adventures from these characters that I came to love. On the other hand, I’m afraid the sequel would ruin this story instead. Though that unexpected meeting with other refugees was as good place as any to end this tale.
I think at this point, it’s just been too long since the initial book came out, too. Not many people would probably be interested now. I know I would have to reread the first one to remember what all happened.

Hey! 🖐 I like this one too.
I guess it had second-hand hate from Twilight.
