I finally finished The Host. The story itself is actually pretty well done and interesting, but it's very much still problematic af.

[***SPOILERS - obviously***]

So, not only is there an age gap between the main character/their romantic interest, but between several other characters too. A relationship randomly starts between two of the humans (a nineteen year old guy and an unspecified older woman), and on their age gap the woman says "He's too young for me, but what does that matter here?" It also seems like smeyer only did this just to cause conflict because he gets killed off almost immediately and the woman's heartbroken by it.

But! Still a weird gap but they're consenting adults, yada yada. THAT wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that the new body the alien gets put into wasn't 16 frickin years old, yet again. But but but!!! She lies about it. "Ian was every bit as honorable as Jared, and I was not going to go through the frustration Melanie had. So I lied, giving myself an extra year. "I'll be eighteen." ... This body looked much younger than her true age, hovering on the edge of seventeen"

"he kissed me in the most unplatonic way possible under the crowded circumstances, and I was thrilled to remember that I'd been smart enough to lie about my age."

I mean just 🤢

Also this very r/menwritingwomen excerpt about a 27 y/o woman - "The girl - or was she a woman? She was tiny, but there was a subtle curviness to her shape that suggested more maturity than her size"

“Frustration” Melanie had?? Um ma’am she’s a TEENAGER of course she’s h0rny that doesn’t make it ok for her to lie or shack up with an older man! Also the fact that her body looks YOUNGER than 16? Like I’m 22 and the amount of times a man has told me I look 15 and liked me because of it is truly disgusting. That older lady/younger man gives me 50 shades vibes and I don’t know what to do about it. I would’ve applauded the fact that men can be victims too if that’s at all what she was trying to convey...which she wasn’t.
