The Guest by Emma Cline

'The tension never wavers' Guardian
Sultry and engrossing Take it to the beach and savour every page Observer

Summer's almost over and Alex is no longer welcome...

Alex is a young woman teetering on the edge. Behind on her rent and with nothing to keep her in New York she agrees to spend August by the beach, in the lavish house of the older man shes been seeing.

After one misstep at a dinner party shes dismissed with a ride to the station and a ticket back to the city. But Alex decides to stay on the island, charming her way into the lives of the dazzlingly wealthy set who live there and leaving a trail of destruction behind her. Just how long can she keep going before shes found out?

A delicious, dark-sided novel Guardian
Eerily captivating Elle
Compulsively readable Independent

The Guest Reviews

Every sentence as sharp as a scalpel . . . tantalizing -- Liska Jacobs * New York Times Book Review *
The ideal mix of hazy summer glamour and shimmering threat for compulsive beach reading... A gripping, almost ghastly book -- Megan Nolan, author of ACTS OF DESPERATION * Observer, *Summer Reads of 2023* *
The Guest is everything I look for in a novel: cool, subtle, clinical -- Nicole Flattery, author of NOTHING SPECIAL * Observer, *Summer Reads of 2023* *
The Girls was exceptional; The Guest, with its exquisite pacing and deliciously muddled moral compass, is even better -- Emily Watkins * Scotland on Sunday *
A thrilling dissection of survival and how far its protagonist will (or can) go to achieve it -- Virginia Feito, author of MRS MARCH * Observer, *Summer Reads of 2023* *
