Answer 1

I wasn't exactly sure what it was about before I read it either, but as soon as I started, I thought the book was excellent and interesting. It's hard to introduce a book without spoiling it a little, so here goes.

It's basically about the "impossible future", where "aliens" known as "souls" take over earth and live in human bodies. As souls enter the body, they get to understand thoughts and emotions of real human beings. Sometimes, the emotions are too strong and the HUMAN cannot give its body up entirely to the soul, and two minds live together in one body. This is the case of the main character [a soul], Wanderer. She and her host, Melanie, are both "alive" inside Melanie's physical body. As the book goes on, romance comes in and Wanderer finds that, because of the overwhelming emotions felt by Melanie, it is impossible not to love Jared, the man Melanie loved, and still loves.

I'm really trying not to spoil it too much but I hope that's enough for you to understand. It's a really good book. =)

Oh, and also - if you like happy endings, this book is for you. =) I didn't really understand much of the the book either when I first started reading the prologue and such, but as the book went on, things are pretty clear-cut and easy to understand.
