Is "The Host" By Stephenie Meyer a Good Book?

I LOVED the Twilight series, and now that its summer I need a good book to pass the time while I’m at the beach etc. I’m not really a big science fiction fan, I think its too corny. So is The Host really sci-fi or is it more Twilight and less like star trek? Also does it have romance? (please no spoilers I don’t want to know what happens in the host, I might read it!)
