Notes From Your Bookseller

Emma Cline's first novel since 2016's The Girls is the story of a con woman posing as a member of Long Island's high society, leaving chaos in her wake as she drifts from place to place in the week before Labor Day. This sly, hypnotic novel is sure to dazzle fans of Sally Rooney and Ottessa Moshfegh.

A young woman pretends to be someone she isn’t in this stunning novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Girls.

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

A 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 and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways, and sun-blasted dunes of a rarified world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to Labor Day moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake.

Taut, propulsive, and impossible to look away from, Emma Cline’s The Guest is a spellbinding literary achievement.
