The Guest: Book Summary & Analysis

This audiobook is an independent and unofficial overview, created solely for educational and informational purposes. It is not associated with, authorized by, or endorsed by the original author or publisher.

A young woman drifts through the heat-soaked Hamptons, unmoored and increasingly desperate, after a falling-out with her older, wealthy boyfriend. With no money and nowhere to go, she slips between borrowed identities and social circles, clinging to the illusion of belonging. As the week progresses and her lies unravel, the shimmering surface of privilege gives way to something darker. The Guest is a taut, hypnotic portrait of self-deception, power, and the fragility of social masks.
