The Overnight Guest by Heather Gudenkauf
4.0
I think I’ve read too many dumb-dumb thrillers, because I predicted the outcome of the book. It wasn’t surprising to me. The author kept throwing “curveballs,” to throw the reader off, but they were glaringly obvious and set up as decoys. The book was reasonably suspenseful and I enjoyed the writing. But, I kept going back to the movie the Room. I felt like I have read this story, or similar versions of the story.
I would give it 3.5/5 starts, but I am rounding up because it really was beautifully descriptive. The story is told through three different points-of-view and from two different timelines. The present day perspective, Wylie, was the best and most thrilling parts of the book. I found myself wanting more of her story.
