...women’s lacrosse, the department hired Lisa Miller, the fiery and strict 2007 Big East Coach of the Year who built the Syracuse program from scratch to a perennial juggernaut. For the men it hired John Tillman, a former member of a powerhouse Cornell program and an assistant coach for over a decade with Navy. Tillman helped the Midshipmen to five NCAA tournament appearances, just missing the national title in a 14-13 loss to Syracuse...

The Host is also set on the same slow burn as Meyer's other work: while there's hot kissing, it's a strict PG. But The Host is a grittier read--much of the book is set in a hardscrabble resistance hideout. Nobody has nice clothes. There's romance, but much of The Host is about Wanda's attempts to fit in with her new human bedfellows, about feeling alone and different...
