The Guest Summary

The Guest: The compulsive new novel from the bestselling author of THE GIRLS by Emma Cline

* A TIMES 'Book of 2023' * 'Addictive' STYLIST Books to Look Out For 2023 * 'Destined to be the status read of 2023' HARPER'S BAZAAR BEST NEW FICTION * 'The perfect summer read' CULTURE WHISPER * An EVENING STANDARD 'Best New Books for Spring' *

Summer is coming to a close on Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome...

One misstep at a dinner party and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city. With few resources, but a gift for navigating the desires of others, Alex stays on the island. She drifts like a ghost through the gated driveways and sun-blasted dunes of a rarefied world, trailing destruction in her wake.

Taut, sensual and impossible to look away from, The Guest captures the latent heat and potential danger of a summer that could go either way for a young woman teetering on the edge.

The Guest Reviews

Sultry and engrossing, with a note of menace, it's a gorgeously smart affair whose deceptive lightness conceals strange depths and an arresting originality . . . take it to the beach and savour every page -- Rob Doyle * Observer *
Drawing the reader inexorably on to the heightened, rug-pulling denouement, this is beach reading at its finest -- Stephanie Cross * Daily Mail *
Every sentence as sharp as a scalpel . . . tantalizing -- Liska Jacobs * New York Times Book Review *
At once chilling and eminently evocative of the rarefied world it portrays . . . a definite contender for Status Vacation Book of 2023 * Vogue *
Atmospheric and at times incandescent -- Michelle Hart * Los Angeles Times *
Cline's writing at its very best - hypnotically propulsive, viscerally disquieting, and moving in the most unpredictable ways -- Doug Battersby * Financial Times *
The tension never wavers . . . This is rich material for Cline, who trains a chilly eye on the preposterous affluence and exclusivity of that part of the world -- Emma Brockes * Guardian *
The Girls was exceptional; The Guest...is even better... Compulsively readable... The Guest is as refreshing as a dip in a cool pool on a hot day * i *
As bracing as saltwater... Cline possesses unmistakable talent; her bursts of genuine originality and startling insight make that clear -- Ann Manov * Daily Telegraph *
Cline has a crime writer's gift for revelatory storytelling, ramping up tension like an HBO pro * Big Issue *
