So today i just wanted to talk about The Host. I just recently saw the movie and I absolutely loved it. I didn't expect it to be that good. I saw the trailer but it didn't really tell me much about the story which was great( or maybe I wasn't paying close attention to it).
When I first saw the trailer I thought it was going to be like another Bella,Edward and Jacob love
triangle since I saw the same girl kissing 2 guys but it ended up being not that. The story i believed was great and the actors were absolutely amazing. Another thing I loved about this movie was the ending and the inclusion of the song Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Ahhhhh I love that song and it was the best way of ending a movie. Actually you guys should listen to that song while reading this post, it just makes everything more magical.

Saoirse Ronan played the main role and she was absolutely stunning and perfect for the role.

Then comes Max Irons who apart from being good looking, did a great job at playing the role of Jared.

Last but not least, my favorite one, Jake Abel who plays Ian O'Shea. The reason I love him so much is because of the personality his character Ian has. So its safe to say I love Ian more than Jake.

To everyone else who has already seen the movie, read the book, or just doesn't care about spoilers can read ahead.

So now comes my true explanation of why I love Ian more than Jared. Although I'm pretty sure Jared is a sweetheart, there wasn't really much showing of it since the love story between Melanie and Jared already existed before the movie even began. In the movie we can see Jared being very romantic and everything but only in brief flashback so I wasn't able to enjoy it much. And when we do see him in the present he is really mean to Melanie/ Wanda ( it was reasonable to be mad but still it hurt to see him being mean). On the other hand we can see Ian being a sweetheart although at first he did try to kill Wanda, but oh well throughout the rest of the movie he makes up for that.
At the very beginning of Ian and Wanda's relationship, it was really frustrating to think of their future as a couple being at risk since Wanda was in Melanie's body. Still I shipped them both a lot , because they were so sweet and loving. I shipped them more than Jared and Melanie obviously because we were able to see their relationship grow from the beginning , which is something I always like to be part of when watching a movie or reading a book. Also I couldn't be more happy when Wanda got her own body, giving her the opportunity to continue loving Ian.

Still after everything I can't deny that Jared and Melanie were also a very cute couple. Just those little few glimpses of them together were breathtaking, especially their dancing and kiss in the rain.( I'm obsessed with kisses in the rain)
