I received The Night Guest as a #netgalleyarc and enjoyed it. The frivolous pink cover seems almost like a joke when you read the book. The layout with extremely short chapters, including one with one sentence, seemed like a space filler. I didn't like that. And the story itself ends at 90% which I don't like either. Although the ending is odd and the main character could have made better decisions to help herself, the story was somewhat predictable and I was entertained. It was eerie, kinda creepy, raunchy at times, and fun. Definitely unique. I especially liked the commentary about how female concerns are never taken seriously and females are expected to make others comfortable. I can relate.
