The
Host,
by Stephenie
Meyer. A species of altruistic parasites has
peacefully assumed control of the minds and bodies
of most humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't
surrender her mind to the alien soul called
Wanderer. Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of
fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her
body's longing and sets off into the desert to find
him. Likely the first love triangle involving just
two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the
characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing.
