A largely spoiler free review of "The Guest" by Emma Cline

I say largely since while I do share a few details about the final chapter (it just wouldn't be accurate to call it an ending), it doesn't really mean much without more details or context.

Also, I can't believe I kinda glossed over the fact that the 23 year old main character sleeps with a 17 year old boy. Yes, she doesn't find out they aren't the same age until after the fact, and it's in character as MC is often terrible at picking up social cues after the inciting incident of the story (such as it is), but still. Yikes.
