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.

Science Fantasy, not Science Fiction? I hope so. I found this book difficult to rate as I've read little of the genre. I enjoyed it but am guessing that few others in my book club will even complete it. It was weird, but only at first. It was a moral story (no surprise there). It was predictable. I cried. I smiled. Occasionally I laughed out loud. I'll read the sequel. I may not like the sequel.

Although I am giving the book only a 3.5 rating, this book still holds a place in my heart. I read this for the first time in high school and it really spoke to me as someone who didn’t feel like she really belonged anywhere. There are problematic themes in the book mostly as it relates to how Wanda/Malanie are consistently talked about as an object who belongs to people. The age gaps are also uncomfortable because Stephanie literally didn’t have to do that, she chose to.
awful book.
loved it, can’t wait to read it again

I usually stop reading books if they don't grab my attention in the first 100 pages. This is one of those books that starts out almost excruciatingly boring, but gradually gets better by the middle of the book, and ends in a brilliant way. I loved this book so much and I loved the movie that came out as well! Stephenie Meyer is an amazing author.
