The Guest by Emma Cline

Thank you to Random House and Netgalley for an ARC of one of my most anticipated books of the year!!

This is a hot girl book. I love an unlikable main character, I love unreliable narration, and I love having no idea what's coming next. Alex made the worst, most anxiety-inducing decisions and I was rooting so hard for her.  This book physically made my heart beat faster from anxiety and frustration. The ending was jarring, but I agree it was the right choice after sitting with it. The writing is also so tight and well-paced.
