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.

Sharp, stylish and impulsive!

Sharp, stylish and impulsive!

22-year-old Alex is pretty and socially smart, but naïve. She finds older men to provide for her, even though she despises their wealth and power. But what to do when the last sugar daddy stops answering her calls? There starts a week-long journey from pool to pool on sunny Long Island.
