There's nothing worse than an unwanted house guest but this takes it to another level.

My thoughts before the 90% point:
• Terrance is the most irritating of all house guests. Him being all up in Junior's business all the time taking notes and collecting data on him made my skin crawl. Oh yeah, and Terrance just had to move in with them to do this. Shudder 😨
• As soon as Terrance is introduced he immediately disgusted me and this only grew as the story went on. I wanted to physically push him away. The way he interrogated and observed Junior was intense and I felt invaded on behalf of Junior. Terrance came across so composed, cheery and rehearsed that you'd be forgiven for thinking he's a robot.
• Since all of the characters are introduced so quickly it's hard to form opinions based on anything other than the scenario dealt out by Terrance. Nevertheless, Henrietta struck me as odd and a bit too understanding of the fact that her husband was to be snatched away from her for an indeterminate length of time. I got the impression quite early on that this was like her prayers had been answered.

My thoughts after the 90% point:
• Terrance was still annoying but didn't strike me as too intense since there was a reason for his intense data collection.
• Junior's story took a surprising turn, which I probably should've guessed but didn't 😏
• Henrietta was still the worst. Even after her husband returns home she remains unhappy with their marriage and her story ends both as I expected and surprising in a way that I probably should've picked up on, but hey. It was still clear that Junior being away for over 2 years was an answer to her prayers.

I loved the ending and the tension that Reid built up throughout the book. I'll definitely be buying this in physical format when it's released in January 2019. Thanks NetGalley for this ebook.
