The Guest by Emma Cline
4.0
tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Definitely propulsive and Cline is a great writer because as much as I wanted to scream at Alex for her decisions, I had to know what was going to happen next. I do wish there had been more detail about her backstory because I felt like it must’ve been rough and I kept waiting to hear more so I could fine a reason to feel more empathy for Alex, which was a tough ask at times.
