The Guest

In the exclusive enclaves of the Hamptons, Alex, a young woman living on borrowed time and charm, finds her summer sanctuary abruptly revoked. Cast out by her older, wealthy benefactor after a single misstep, she is left with no resources and a week to reclaim her place before a crucial Labor Day party.

As Alex navigates the shimmering surface of privilege and lavish excess, she must maintain a careful facade, observing the lives of those she imitates while grappling with her own precarious reality. This novel delivers a taut examination of class, performance, and the hidden costs of belonging, inviting readers into a world where identity is a fluid currency and every interaction holds the potential for exposure or salvation.
